When I say newbie I mean I have just been given the game and have never played Medieval or any of its forerunners before - which is new!
I have played AOE 2 for many years, but I am looking for a new game to replace that. My son gave me Medieval II Total War Gold edition TODAY. I will be playing on a laptop using windows 7 and my spec is well above that required for the game. I have loaded the game and all seems to be working ok.
I hope to play my son over the internet and I would like to join a gaming zone if possible for team games - recommendations gratefully received.
Firstly are there any upgrades/patches I need to install. I got a little confused by the upgrades patches section but it mentions possible that I need to install 1.5 but I am not real sure that I need it!
Secondly are there any good books that give a clear insight how to play the game. Clearly I will supplement that by use of the site. But, I do not like to be stuck in front of my PC for too long – the wife complains hey ho!
Thanks for any help guys and I will try not to ask too many novice questions (I hope)
