I almost rebought the original Medieval TW on Steam last night but in a crisis of conscience wasn't sure if I could look at the ancient graphics for long periods of time. That aside I think the original Medieval TW was probably my favorite and of the entire series with Medieval 2 and Shogun 2 tied for a close 2nd place.

Honestly, the graphics from the original Shogun and Medieval don't bother me at all; obviously they don't begin to compare to the more recent titles, but neither do they "hurt" my eyes to look at. What does bother me (somewhat) is the less-friendly battle controls and the the agent spam (especially in MTW/VI); those are two things that newer games have definitely improved upon.

I'll tell you what has not been improved upon...the music from the original Medieval. One of the great game soundtracks.

I started making top 2016 wargames video.

Those Inquisitors from Medi 2 were a Papal pain-in-the-ass. I loved taking them out discreetly with my top assassin--- remember the spy and assassin cut-scenes? :bd:

Truth. O0 The music for both the original Shogun and Medieval easily remain in my Top Ten game soundtracks.

I agree with this as well. I'm not a great one for music in games (almost invariably turn it off), but this I remember fondly.

Each track from Medieval TW has its own YouTube page, and there's a few pages that have that have the whole soundtrack uploaded. The music is definitely one of the main reasons why I remember the game so fondly.

This was my all time favorite song. I can't even describe how I would break out dancing to this one after winning a very hard fought and closely run victory....

I've seen steady reports of graphical problems, running the old MTW on newer hardware.

Between that and the low-res eye bleeding, it was enough to decide against a re-purchase.

Yeah I passed on it too.

JH dances?

Oh and also, for those into this type of thing, one of the main themes from the original Medieval: TW is also in the Witcher 3, which is what started to get me thinking about M: TW in the first place.

A quick search on The Google will find it for you.
