The epic remake of the original strategy franchise on the Total War company. Control one of a over a dozen factions and conquer Medieval Europe. Take any RTS you know and scale it to 1000. Control vast armies of over 200 men and conquer your enemy through wits.

With the release of this I am gonna look into making a Total War section. If enough people follow me perhaps we could get something good going. I have been playing the original and the newer Rome: Total War for several years and this one looks VERY promising.

That is the standard size of an army and you can have up to 8 players fighting in an FFA or any teams you wish. The only downside to this game is it demands a rather high-end comp. If you have under a gig of RAM don't expect the graphics to look pretty.

In this you have provinces which is divided up Europe and Eastern Asia. Each province contains one settlement. You can descide whether to make this settlement a castle or a village. Castles produce military might and villages produce citizens and economic wealth.

In single player there are two types of battles. Sieges (which are god awesomely fun) and just normal field battles. Sieges are when you lay siege to an enemy castle or they lay siege to one of your castles. Of course should the attacker win they gain control of the province. Field battles don't have any negative reprecussions other then loosing an army if you loose.

Gameplay: 9
Graphics: 7
Difficulty: 8-10 (If you are not good at such games like chess or something the learning curve will be EXCRUTIATINGLY long)
Overall: 9

This is one of my favorite franchises and if you are a strategic person like me. The standard RTS will PALE in comparison to this game.

I have only said a fraction of what the game has read up about it on

Hope you guys enjoy

Wow, the map is huge....
Some questions:
When is the release date of the game?
How much is the game??

Also, if you want to make a section in JAGe, it has to be 10 New recruits, not already existing members.
