Strategy game inquiry

[acctingman]

I'm looking at Civ 5 and Medieval II: Total War and was wondering if any of you folks have played both and what your views on either might be.

I do not trust Steam reviews 

I'm mainly considering either of these titles because they both apparently have some wonderful Middle Earth mods available.

Thanks for any info

Medieval II Total War is a definite must have, get the "gold" version that includes the kingdoms expansion pack. The mods have extended its lifespan as well considering is a 10 year old game now, i play it occasionally nowadays using several mods such as Stainless Steel, Europa Barbarorum 2, and Rule Britannia (RB).

Medieval II: Total War is one of the greatest strategy games ever made. if you do not own it in one form or another, you are not welcome to post here.  O:-)

I consider Medieval II: Total War the best version ever made. I still play this game above others of its kind.

Are most Medieval II mods available in the Steam Workshop?

Why choose...buy both.....

Grim....I like the way you think. Thanks for the links

I always keep Medieval II on my hard drive. One of the most played games I have. Civ V is fun too.

I'll add my hearty endorsement for Medi 2 Total War being an excellent strategy game though the graphics are a little dated by now. It's one of my favorite TW titles easily with so many great features. And the Middle Earth mod of which you speak is a near masterpiece in itself. The Third Age Total War mod transforms Europe into the land of Tolkien at the time of the War of the Ring with the factions from the books and films, all playable, represented. Probably my all-time favorite TW campaign.  O0 O0 O0

I bought MTW2 twice. Does it give me special status here?

[Cyrano]

Oh yeah, well I bought it FOUR times.

Twice so I could play MP LAN games back in the day.  I think I still have the super-cool DVD boxes they came in.  AND the registration codes.

Twice since so I could play MP LAN games over Steam with my son.

It's indicative of just how ADHD we are with games that M2TW and Civ5 don't end our need for all further games...

I bought 3 different editions, over the years.  ;D
