TOTAL WAR: MEDIEVAL 2
One surprising thing about going back to old games is how little they, for example, starts with only five playable factions, locking the rest till you win a campaign (or manually unlocked them by altering the Descr_strat file, which I still remember after 12 years). The simplicity is surprisingly welcome elsewhere. It might be because is the I’ve played most, but everything is still so immediate and intuitive. It’s a flimsy challenge compared to the more aggressive AI in recent iterations, but that’s maybe why I like it so much: stacks of orcs never get in the way of my plans for world (or at least EU) domination.
