Our own Rob Zacny recently released in order from best to worst, and Medieval didn’t fare so well, coming in 7th place in a list of 9 games. Rob wrote that: While it may be a better game than Rome, it’s not memorable like Rome. Rome is a tragic hero, fatally flawed and hugely ambitious.
Medieval 2 is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. As many people took to the comments to say however, Medieval 2 was transformed by its mods. The mod for Medieval II: Kingdoms is still often considered better than any of the official games as a result of its various additions and AI improvements, and remakes Total War as a Lord of the Rings game where you can play as humans, dwarves, elves, orcs and more. Unfortunately for those of you who already own the Windows version, it looks as if you’ll have to buy it a second time to get it on the newly supported operating systems.

Everything you want to know and more about Stainless Steel can be found on the TWC hosted.

It’s a Steam Play title, which means if you already own the game for Windows, you’ll be able to play it on Mac and Linux for no extra charge. If you do want to buy it though, Medieval II: Total War Collection costs £18.99/$24.99/€22.99. The base game and expansion will also be sold separately for £14.99/$19.99/€19.99 and £8.99/$11.99/€11.99 respectively.
