Yeah if looked at in the most objective way possible I agree Medieval II is the best. I'm with you in hoping a potential Medieval III builds on the religion system and the politics. I also hope, though that might be complicated, that they come up with a way to accurately represent the Holy Roman Empire. In the old game it was just a regular faction but of course in reality it was a collection of kingdoms and duchies united by an overarching Emperor.

And most of those princes were Protestant, if I recall, making their loyalty to a Catholic Emperor in question.

I'd argue a fair chunk of those princes became Protestant because their loyalty to the Emperor was in question; ka-pi gets it.

But I agree that all of the games might be spiced up a bit with more internal intrigue. Admittedly, the Total War games have never really been about that, so it's fair that religion is as simplified as, say, logistics or economy (or the complete lack thereof). I've always wanted the series to have a much more strenuous emphasis on logistics, to be honest, seeing as how that's often a bigger determiner of military success or failure than just about any (every?) other factor. Still, it's a pity.
