Yes, there is a multiplayer option.
I cant say much about it as I havent tried it yet, but it is certainly able to be done.

Yeah it nice, but...

Cavalry charges are kaput and I still have peasants pwning my heavy infantry on  castle/city walls. Like everyone else, I played the initial campaign as english. I am now playing as Danes, and using that auto-combat features until they fix the above.

I'll probably buy it, but I have my doubts that it will be better then the player-produced revisions that Rome had...  Rome Total Realism is one of the best mods for a game I've ever played and 7.0 is only "two weeks" away :)

'Course, it will be interesting to see what players do to Medieval...  Trust, you think you like it now?  Wait six months or so for the community to put something out - you'll love it :)

Bought the game last week (got to MicroCenter just as they were pulling the first 5 copies out of the inventory bin to put on the shelf).  Definately worth every penny spent!  I started my first, and thusfar only, grand campaign as the Holy Roman Empire.  I own most of Europe and the only thing holding me back is Milan.  Just had my first major run-in with them tonight and wiped out about 1,000+ of their crummy uber-crossbowmen and spearmen.  All it took was a couple hundred Feudal Knights charging their flanks while my bucket-headed dismounted knights were guarding the Tribulchet (sp?).  What a game!!!!!  The battles are hard fought and tactics play a huge role in combat.  No doubt this game will keep me occupied this winter...



... maybe a bit too much :O

R:TR is the best version by a mile. i wouldnt play anything else.



side note, do you own medieval also? i was wondering if having R:TR loaded on was causing the conflict that stops my medieval working, and considered deleting R:TR altogether to see if it works.

just wondering if you have both loaded on one machine and workin fine, if so i wont bother with the hassle and just wait till i get a new PC next year some time.

Other than that ... a beauty of a game. I recall 13-16 years ago playing a simililar game on PC that was pretty cool. Anyone remember something like that?

When you put your troops on a ship to head to the crusades you have to round spain. As you go around it your troops start deserting because your not making progress toward the fight. :mad:

I was also quite happy taking out rebel settlements and leaving France alone. But do they leave me alone, no. No Im handing their arses to them. :)
