Both the first game of 2024 and the last one was Medieval II: Total War.
Conquered the world with France at the start of the year, now doing the same with the Danes.
A classic :D
I haven't played M2TW in a while. Maybe I should pick it up again for another campaign. Hmm...
It's been almost twenty years and I still can't find a game that gives me the same chills. I was hoping that they'd release a Medieval Remastered the same way they did for Rome Remastered, but it didn't happen.
I hear that the 1212 mod for Attila Total War provides a more "up to date" experience for today's standards (graphics, historical accuracy, AI, diplomacy). But I can't fathom playing Medieval without Duke of Death.
I remember getting Medieval 1 as a Christmas present and playing all day! I didn't actually get Medieval 2 until many years later -- I was playing Rome for a long time.
I have to confess, I'm not a fan of the "Game: Remastered" trend. I love games this old partly because of the nostalgia. Re-releasing them this way erases that part of it for me -- plus, I just can't shake the "WTF, I need to re-buy a game this old?! Forget it!" feeling.
Duke of Death is iconic. I'm kind of surprised they didn't keep it in the track list for later games.
