I never even played any medieval TW, downloaded few days ago and also got third age 3.2 mod.
both alot of fun setting wise, but people said shogun 2 was dumbed down so I was expecting more depth but actually there was just a whole lot less. medieval europe is maybe my favourite TW setting, but I do want tech trees and trading resources etc.
all TW games kind of suffer from the same kind repitition, rome 2 looks brilliant and im super excited but im worried it will end up the same type of repitition in the endgame.
