You start off as a guy with a horse and a sword. You then do a few quests delivering messages. You then have a tad of cash. You can do some trading with a small body guard of men, Become a Romantic Hero, lead men as a mercenary captain, bring law to the bandit filled countryside. After that you can build up an army, become part of a kingdom or even create an independant kingdom of your own. From there on, conquor this forigen land.

This is an exelent game because you are both commander and soldier. Total War lets you command armies, but never let you get stuck in, and always allows you time to perfect orders. Skyrim lets you weild a sword and shield but you are merely part of a large brawl at best.

This lets you preform simple commands with stunning effects on the field. Break an enemy and rout them by flanking with cavalry.

This combined with infinate replayability with mods so easily avalible for it from a massive online community AND online multiplayer... BUY IT YOU FOOL.

Its free. Try it you fools :P

Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this! Buy this!

Another incredible addition to the series, and here we are going back to its roots.

There is strategic campaign map where you need a balance of income to millitary.
There is the battles which are fast paced and unlike Napoleon your army can disappear if your not up to scratch... or thene enemies if you excell.
They now added an RPG element to all agents, family, generals and even special hero units.

Buy this... if your not then so be it, stick to your walk in the park games.

(PS the Team Fortress 2 weapons utterally pwn. Another reason to buy this)
