Welcome To The Total War Campaign Chronicles Blog

Welcome to this Medieval II Total War Campaign Chronicles Blog by Attila

This post is an update that explains what was this blog what you can find on it, why it was created and what you should find interesting about it.

The Mission
This Blog Was created to give more contextual information around the Video created by Attila16 on youtube. The original chronicles was the Carthaginian Chronicles composed of Carthaginians campaign videos and battles for a total of 87 episodes. Those video are currently exclusively available on youtube.

Following the great popularity of that series of video base on the video game Rome Total War, the German Chronicle started. Since the strategy use by Attila brought a lot of question, he created this blog to give contextual information about his German Chronicles.

With the publishing of Medieval II Total War by SEGA and Creative Assembly, Attila moved to this new video game. He then created a Sicilian Chronicles compose of 17 episodes showing the learning of the game and some really nice battle.

After this exploration Attila improved the concept with the Polish Chronicles with 37 episodes, showing both the campaign and the battles with very good explanation of the strategy use and motivation behind them.

The 47 Turkish Chronicles then followed and probably were the most complete chronicles showing both the campaign level of the game and the battle. After the victory, the chronicles skipped ahead to the war against Mongols. So this Chronicles was one of the favourite and worth a look showing some useful strategy to fight the Mongols.

Finally the last chronicles from Attila was the Holy Roman Empire chronicles with 19 episode was done by democratic choice and was publish on dateyourgame.com

The move to dateyourgame.com was made to allow people to contribute to the blog and share interest about a larger diversity of video game.

The move to dateyourgame.com also mean that the Medieval II Total War blog is no longer active but still contain a lot of really useful information about how to play and we encourage you to read it and check the Archive on your Right

Enjoy the battles and feel free to leave comment =)

My birthday post 25 years old and an overview of my work since 5 months. Medieval II Total War and the rest!

Today is my birthday, so I decided to make a special post where I will show some of the work I did in the past 5 months. I will be hard to choose them since I have now over 377 videos...

So one thing many people here don't know is that my background as a gamer is mostly in the First Person Shooter type of game. I always enjoyed Tactical shooter of the Tom Clancy series, until Ubisoft ruined it by bringing it on Xbox and the 360. So here are some good moment of game play I had in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter at hard difficulty level. (WARNING It's long).




This is me in multiplayer DeathMatch. Was a little hard to record since recording was making me lag a lot.



There is also this good attempt to finish the Arma Armed Assault demo missions Alone that was very fun, since it's a "simulation" game used by some European armies to train soldier. I fail, but that sure was a good try. =)



Now I don't really limit myself to Tactical Shooter, I was also a big fan of Halo Combat Evolved.



Or also enjoyed F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon, moded it a lot and won a T-Shirt of It because of my maps. But I was better as a player as I am in many game...



Then there is alway the Real Time Strategy type of game, like Company of Heroes that I enjoyed a little


But I must say that Soldier Heroes of World War II was probably the best real time strategy game I played in the last couple years, even if it was a little limited sometime...



Then there is alway Rôle playing games like oblivion that I played a lot, and this video is making fun of it by showing how weak my character is in bow skill and the absurd result it lead to =)



But of course my favorit game of all time is the Total War series, and I played those a lot! (I think you could guess that by yourself.)

This is my "first video" (wasn't really... but who care...)



And here is an other of my really popular Rome Total War video showing one of the most chaotic battle ever.



Here is an other very popular video from Rome Total War where I show the Spartans At work =)



Then there is My first "campaign chronicles". Here is one battle I like with a battle oriented on assassinating many senate generals.



Not to forget the Challenge episode, where I challenged people to win a very very hard battle from that save game. And trust me If you can win It, your a great player =)
I did won it, but hehe don't ask me to show you the video right now! Try it first.


There is also the very enjoyed strategy from the episode 36 with the kind of box formation



And the series of battle of the Hamburger hill episode!






The there are alway Request I did for my fans, like the battle of Cannae.


Some multiplayer... (i'm not a fanatic...)


And then the endless battle on bridge with the german chronicles with the famous V formation


Or some Really glorius defeat



There is also some weird siege where the strategy allow me to kill the enemies until the last one.


Then there alway is the sicilian chronicles good moment like the charge of the Danish Army


Or some independant battle from different campaign like this battle against a Mongols army


And this very very popular video guide i did

Medieval II Total War Victory in 58 Turn at Very Hard/Very Hard with French

Ok, people, today I don't plan to release an episode. But I will share an interesting thing I did a couple days ago. As you might know, publishing the videos of the campaign chronicles is the longest part of the process in the making of episodes. It also takes hell of a lot of space on the hardrive. So all of that forces me to do something else while I publish the episode and clean space. So I played some campaigns...

One of my friends told me someone said he conquered 36 regions in 46 turns while playing at very hard with the english. At first I told myself "Hmmm, that's hard to believe." So since I'm good I told myself... "well if someone can do it, I can!"

So in 45 turns with the french I had 40 regions.


So Once I reached this first objective, I told Myself lets continue to victory. I reached the first victory condition and by turn 48 I had 45 regions.



The longest part was to send a Crusade to Jerusalem, That was achieved at the turn 58 mostly because I didn't have a good fleet and it seems every one had huge fleet around ready to destroy me.

So here is the save game of the campaign as proof and the really interesting thing is that when you win the battle from the save, all factions are unlock! =)

Download the save of the Victory in 58 Turn here

So enjoy!

I also continued a little more and here is what it looked like around turn 92



So the conclusion is, either french are too powerful or I'm just too good...
