Medieval: Total War Collection is the complete edition of the iconic historical strategy game, including the base game Medieval: Total War and the official Viking Invasion expansion. The title allows you to move to the realities of the Middle Ages and lead your own dynasty through four centuries of wars, intrigues and political decisions. The action covers a huge area from the green lands of Western Europe, through the Middle East, to the deserts of North Africa. From the First Crusade to the fall of Constantinople, the player leads a chosen faction to domination, managing the state, recruiting armies, conducting sieges, naval battles, and diplomatic operations. Emissaries, spies, and assassins play a vital role in the game, and they can influence alliances, betrayals, and behind-the-scenes activities. There are fourteen playable factions from Europe, the Middle East and Africa to choose from. Spectacular battles can involve up to 10,000 on-screen soldiers at the same time, and the extensive siege system reflects the realities of the era of castles and fortresses. The system of virtues, vices and valor affects the characteristics of commanders and the way they are perceived by allies and enemies. The Viking Invasion expansion brings the gameplay to an expanded map of the British Isles and western Scandinavia between 793 and 1066. The player can lead the Vikings and lead them through raids, plunder, and conquests, or take control of early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms such as Wessex or Mercia in an attempt to repel the invasion and unite Britain. The expansion introduces new factions, units, campaign, and additional mechanics, including flaming ammunition and new playable nations in the main campaign. Medieval: Total War Collection is a classic strategy game for players who value deep history, epic battles and long-term empire management in the realities of medieval Europe.
