Medieval Total War: II

[A Twig]

My assassin got the plague, just after I'd got him suitably elite!

On the plus side I now have the largest military forces in the game, so all the factions are hurriedly making alliances and treaties with me. Got to love the longbows! Only thing is this bloody plague won't go away! Grrr...

Is there anything you can do about it?

[Nefertem]

Its God punishing you for being a barbarian.. Go get holy and it'll go away.. or.. ehm.. I dunno.. Make a time-machine and get medicine from the future :ohmy:

assassins need training before you can kill anyone worthwhile.

Start with princesses, then captains (armies without real generals) then just have a look at your chance of killing each target.

Also try to come in from as far away as possible, inceaese your chances if the target cant see you comming.

Plague only stops once you completely clamp down on movement between commuinities.  Move nothing.  Everything must come to a stand still.  Usually it means other forces will attack you.

Best way of getting rid of plague is to fill up your diseased city with a huge army then hit the campaign trail. You city will clear up in no time (it seems big garrisons cause the plague to hang around longer) and because it is plague ridden no-one will invade it.

With your plague army, you have nothing to lose, so waltz in and besiege their capital. I just took Paris (serves the Frogs right for refusing a ceasefire, especially after I'd just negotiated my way out of wars with all France's allies, so I could just concentrate on fighting them.)

Now, I'm off to try and assassinate as many Frenchies as possible, including King Louis the "Watchful". Well given that he just watches everything from somewhere near Spain I think that's fair!

Also been let back into Catholic club again by the Pope after being excomminicado again. Seems he realised having the largest army in Christendom against him didn't make much sense:doh:...

Now if only I have done some revision for my exams which start in a weeks time.....:sad:

Has anyone else noticed that the loading music is the same as the secondary titles screens music from the Rugby World Cup 2003 Official Review DVD?

I got TW2 too, great game, and, by looking at your comments, picked the English side too

Managed to pretty much override the French, and starting my quest to rule Spain. Problem is i run out of money every now and again due to the large spreed of my army (upkeep) :doh:  but currently moving them to the front lines (so they can earn their keep!!)

When will they start making the ships do battle scenes and interactive like they do on land, rather than the moving Icon battle thingy

Make sure you sack the province / country you are taking. You need to keep some peasents and maximize your cash. If you have a big army you must keep attacking or you will run out of cash quickly.

Whenever one of my family members leave a city which isn't close to the front line, I usually put it on Financial, and let it make money by itself.. That was however before my brother pointed out that I could choose to run the city by myself, lol :doh:
