Medieval 2: Total War AAR! You choose the faction!

[Dash-7]

Please vote, all votes are appreciated and will determine what faction I choose for my upcoming AAR.

For those of you who don't know what Medieval 2: Total war is, it is a war/strategy game taking place in medieval Europe during the time of 1080 to 1530 AD. You take control of one faction and itis your job to guide them to victory both on the campaign map and the battlefield; two very different places. In the campaign map, you control your cities' growth and the training and upkeep of armies, which you move about the land via point-and-click, for defence of your homeland and the conquering of new territories. (examples of campaign map: s56.photobucket.com/albums/g175/A_different_city/?action=view¤t=Medieval2TotalWarmovie_0001.flv ) On the battle field, you command individual units within your armies and move them about the landscape as you face off against an enemy armie. Strategy is very important here, as it decides the fate of your armies and, by extension, your empire. Examples: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6GGXwZ0b5I

Results: Tie between Egypt and Russia.

Tie breaker: dice roll. I will roll a die, and if it lands on one, two, or three, I will play as Russia. If four, five, or six is rolled, Egypt will be my faction of choice. I'm really looking forward to this, as I've never played as either faction, but Imknow both to be rather cavalry oriented, unless I'm mistaken. Russia would be fun because I would have to defend against the Mongols and sharing a border with Catholic factions. Egypt would be fun becuase I would have to defend against numerous crusades, as well as the Timurid invasion.

Roll: Two.

I will be playing my next campaign as the Russians! Stay tuned for the beginning of the AAR!

ps. Ben, please close the topic. Thanks!
