You start a duel to kill a general without your opponent being able to run away, the original purpose of these duels as they were portrayed in the novel (shattering/raising morale, showing your lowly soldiery your heroic bravery) never truly gets translated into the game, with the buffs from winning duels being far too insignificant for going into a duel you know you'll lose against a much stronger character, surviving for a certain time and then retreating, losing your general for that battle (yes, that's a legit way you are supposed to approach and use duels) It's a regular occurrence that CA implements mechanics that introduce different genre-style gameplay but then never gets to flesh those additions out and integrate them properly, so you end up with a half baked mechanic that just feels tacked on and not a natural extension of the core gameplay (tower defense in WH3 says hello)Įven the easy to do stuff like simple rewards are just meh. Putting a strategist with the cool down hex next to a duel was really the most strategy you could get out of this mechanic, so yeah.
In practice you almost always know which duels you can win, the AI also happily sends its characters into suicide duels and there was never really anything besides spam clicking abilities that you could do to influence duels.

There's no exact release date for Total War: Medieval 2 on iOS and Android just yet, but it's currently pencilled in for a launch this "spring".I never hated them, but I've always felt their implementation gimmicky and not really fleshed out. "These improvements further facilitate players' mastery of tactics and command as they manoeuvre thousands of on-screen units in their quest to conquer the mobile battlefield," says Sega. Total War: Medieval 2's transition to mobile devices is being handled by Feral Interactive, and publisher Sega is promising a "full game without compromise" from the studio, incorporating the likes of the bespoke touch control system that debuted in Rome: Total War. "Though familiar, Medieval 2 is breathtaking in its depth, fiendishly challenging in all the right ways and a big old phlegmy spit right in the eye of anything else foolish enough to claim ownership of the strategy crown." "It's an absolute joy to take the accomplishments of Rome to the broader world, politicking and technology of the 11th to 16th centuries," Alec wrote. Total War: Medieval 2 - iOS and Android Trailer.
#IPHONE X TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER PC#
The original Total War: Medieval 2 released for PC all the way back in 2006, giving players control of a medieval faction and the tools of government, military, economy, diplomacy, and religion required to shape its historical course across three continents.īut while Medieval 2 is undoubtedly an oldie at this point, its combination of large-scale real-time battles and compelling turn-based strategy on a global map is a treat, with Eurogamer contributor Alec Meer going as far as to call it "the most detailed and absorbing strategy game to stalk the Earth" at the time of its initial release. The Creative Assembly's much-loved historical strategy game Total War: Medieval 2 is making its way to iOS and Android devices sometime this spring.
