This latest bundle of screenshots of the real-time strategy juggernaut Medieval II: Total War offers further proof, if it were ever needed, that this is a visually stunning game. In terms of the recreation of epic battles, developer Creative Assembly really is second to none.
The dynamic strategy game is set in the years between 1080 and 1503 - one of the most turbulent times in history in terms of conflict, just beyond the Dark Ages. This allows Medieval II to include battles from Europe, the Middle East and even the New World.
It's in the New World that religion will play a huge part in establishing the stability of the newly conquered lands during the game. Historically, when Christian countries defeated the Aztecs and started to colonize them, one of their first objectives was to turn the 'savages' to Christianity, and this is reflected in Total War.
