what is the best thing about MTWII and MTWII Kingdoms

[lucipher the malevol]

in my opinion the fact that the game isn't just about war is good because they add the spice which is politics and the turmoil of religion in the game which makes it all that much better it adds flavour and spice to the game.
so what does everybody think then? +rep please

Spice really makes me want the chicken satay kebabs I just bought.

The best thing? The community and the graphics.

Oh and the total war series? well for me it is a definition of a direction in which ALL strategy games should be go! The game is pure fun ;-)

i agree with the fact it is just pure fun but you must have specific likes and dislikes

You MUST.

My most favorite part of this game has got to be the fact that you can take the game in any direction you want to go, be it warmongery, diplomacy, or turtling, the game takes on a completely new flavor depending on how the player wants to manage their empire.

Toss in different factions on top of that and you've got yourself a game with one hell of a replay-ability factor.

Toss in the tons of mods on top of that and you've got yourself a way of life.

I agree with Kahn that the game is open ended so much so that you can keep playing the same faction over and over until you get sick of the color and still have new twists in every campaign. Interesting things just keep happening. Last night in a Britania game I had the Irish enemy general hit by his own flaming catapult projectile whilst he was charging the center of my line. (How can the AI be so human smart?) Then two turns later the Irish are destroyed as a faction by some mysterious happening. I don't know if their king died of old age or was assasinated by the Barons. Suddenly the game has changed from being a challenge to a piece of cake. Wallace just appeared but he's got the Norwiegans at his throat so I doubt I'll even get to see him unless he holes up in a fort.
