For my last post of 2019, here is a brief update. This month I've been playing Medieval II: Total War, another fine game in the Total War series. This is the second Total War game I've played, the first being Rome: Total War. I enjoyed that game immensely and added it as a top pick as an all-time favorite. Although Medieval II has the same core gameplay, I haven't been as addicted to it as Rome. Perhaps eight years later, the newness has worn off a bit.

This time around, I'm playing as the English. My objectives are to control 15 regions and defeat the Scottish and the French. It is early in the game but I've managed to defeat Scotland and unite Great Britain under English rule. I also control Caen and Antwerp, which gives me a presence on the European mainland. Unfortunately, I am at war fighting France around Caen and Denmark around Antwerp. I currently hold nine regions but defeating the French will be a significant challenge.

As I get deeper into the game, I am enjoying it more. I will write another update as I make more progress (or finish) the campaign.
