Total War: MEDIEVAL II – Definitive Edition

Take charge of a medieval faction and expand its territory across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the New World. Your campaign develops through a turn-based map, where each faction’s position shapes its opportunities and threats. Build and improve cities, recruit armies, and manage diplomacy and religious politics as you compete with neighboring powers. Crusades, jihads, papal decisions, and other events can alter the course of a campaign. When armies meet, switch to real-time battles to direct troops, formations, and tactics across the battlefield. The Definitive Edition also includes Kingdoms, with four additional campaigns set in Britain, Teutonic Northern Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

Lead a medieval faction, grow its cities and armies on a turn-based map, then command real-time battles for territory.
