'Medieval II: Total War' Patch in the Works

by Rainier on Dec. 4, 2006 @ 10:36 a.m. PST

Medieval II: Total War boasts an impressive array of new graphical and gameplay enhancements, including the capability for a massive 10,000 dynamic characters to be taken into battle at any one time. On top of this, The Creative Assembly have implemented a fully redesigned multiplayer mode that offers a dynamic multi-battle campaign bolstered by an unprecedented level of visceral combat choreography that reflects the brutality of medieval warfare.

The triggers for a formed (powerful) charge include:

  • Line up the cavalry parallel to the target
  • Utilize a long straight run up toward the target
  • Prioritize stationary targets as moving targets may result in a last second turn and reform

The triggers for an unformed (weak) charge include:

  • The unit is spread out just before charging
  • The charge is issued while too close to the target
  • The charge is issued when the unit isn’t facing the target
  • The player changes direction just before the charge
  • The target moves and turns just before being hit
