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.

I kind of liked Medieval 1's take on it with the high chance of civil war and low loyalties. It felt like you could command them, but they weren't happy about it. Especially Henry the Lion. Then when they civil war against you, you obviously can pick either side and destroy them, solidifying your rule as Emperor. And then the overwhelming victories against other countries would invigorate your rule even further, so the higher loyalties make sense.

As for the thread, unfortunately I have been off the series since the catastrophic failure of a launch in Rome Total War 2. I was already not feeling it with Atilla and Empire, but that was the end of it. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the games before them though.

I hated Rome II at first, and then I don't know what happened but I think they updated the tar out of it, next thing you know all these years later and I think I have over 400 hours on the game haha. I absolutely love all the different campaigns that game has!
