this game is the peak of total war, it may be 20 years old but it holds up surprisingly well with my biggest complaints being pathfinding (which is still relevant in modern TW) and unit responsiveness. But even with those minor setbacks this game gives an experience that only old TW can give, like forgoing building slots and making the limit time and money, making it so that only your general automatically replenishes, making every man that you use on the field valuable, a population system to limit city growth that encourages you to get chivalrous generals and keep taxes on low, and a rich modding community that has had 20 years to build up incredibly in depth mods like Third Age Total War, Stainless Steel, JLMP's Vanilla Kingdoms and others that I can't mention here. In summary, if you have the time to change the controls to your liking and you can tolerate mild mid 2000s jank, you almost certainly won't be disappointed``.

Classic Total War, Morale system is meaningful, tactics actually matter in battle. Highly recommend instead of playing any of the newer titles since Rome 2.

I've played this game for a while, just shy of 5,000 hours when finally deciding to leave a review. Countless experiences since I first bought the game. I originally bought it for the Lord of the rings mod, but then tried out the base vanilla game too. The only negative is its age. But unlike some of the other games in Total war titles this one does not have the optimization issues, and even if it starts to have issues, the amount of polished mods for this game outweigh any and every DLC that the other total war titles are coming out with. If your getting into total war then this game is perfect for learning the mechanics. If you want to retreat to a world of fantasy and war its got that for you with hundreds of mods (literally hundreds, no exaggeration). If you want something that is simple but re-playable this is for you. My suggestion to playing the game is to go in this order: 1 play every factions campaign at least once in vanilla, 2 play each of the dlc campaigns once as any faction, 3 Now install your first mods and re learn the game with all the bugs and exploits fixed, 4 Get into the never ending cycle of Stainless Steel, Divide and Conquer, Stainless Steel, Divide and Conquer. I cannot recommend this game enough, it is old and that is the main and only consistent negative review for this game.

I just checked, and after four months of playing this i have racked up 272 hours. I do not know how this has happened but this is a testimony to how good these old total war games are. The new ones are cash grabs and are nothing compared to this gem of a game.
