The new campaign therefore follows this new set-up with the battle maps to accompany each territory. This creates a whole new game that should be fun for everyone that played Medieval as well as provide plenty of interest for the history buffs out there (as long as they disregard the horned helmet of the guy on the cover of the box, it isn't indicative of the product inside).

To take this big step back in time and focus on one area of Europe in a more detailed way, the Total War guys decided to take away the distraction of Europe on the strategic map and give the British Isles a full working over with tons of territories from that time period plus the Norse countries to the East to give the Vikings a home to invade from. After the first attack and the plundering of a very rich monastery, it was hard for the Vikings to resist such fertile territory just like it's hard to resist beating Ivan up for his lunch money now that I know what a weakling he is and how much cash he has the audacity to carry around with him.

Finally, around 793 AD, another group poked their bearded and grizzled faces into the thick of things. The Irish and Scots had basically escaped all of the Roman rule and managed to hold their own ground (the Scots even managed to push into the Northwest isles on the main island), but the Piets, Welsh, Saxons, Northumberman, and Mercians were eventually all that was left of the many kingdoms that rose and fell during the Dark Ages. Kings were being made and unmade with speed. When the Romans decided to pack up and move the Legions off of the island, all hell broke loose. Some may not have realized this, but the Roman Empire actually extended all the way up into Britain for quite some time until its eventual collapse under its own bloated bureaucratic weight. It was a land full of kings and torn by battle. What is now known as England wasn't always just cockney accents and bad teeth.

The game also takes a step out of Europe as a whole and focuses on a much smaller part of the whole. Viking Invasion takes a step back in the timeline from Medieval and falls out of the Middle Ages right into the grimy and war torn Dark Ages.

Their latest, Viking Invasion, the expansion to Medieval: Total War continues the streak with style and a lot of new gameplay that should satisfy fans' hunger for strategy until their next full game in the series is released sometime next year. So far they've managed to create nothing but good games and expansion packs for those games. The guys at Creative Assembly that make the Total War games seem to love their jobs and it shows. Coming off the heels of reviewing an expansion pack that didn't deserve the slightest recognition, it's nice to be able to sink myself into a great addition to an already incredible game.
