Renaissance Men
A Let's Play About Ramming the Renaissance into the 11th Century


By zrk2 at 2011-09-13

Basically, I take Milan (on H/H 'cause I'm a wimp) and conquer as much of Europe as matters, using only cities and the units I can recruit from them. And mercenaries, because there is nothing that fits better into renaissance italy than masses of sellswords.

Smells like reformation.

If my computer didn't overheat all the time I would make my own Total War LP. Meh. I guess I'll just have to follow yours instead.

You trounced feudalism in Switzerland so thoroughly that it has been written out of history.  :P

Unfortunately I misplaced the shot of me converting it to a town, I think that would have added dramatic effect.

Wait in medieval 2 total war, you can only produce the better military units in castles right?  Not cities?  This is cool, it really feels like you're in the age of Machiavelli, due to your army of mercenaries led by condottieres.

I'm also now spamming out spies and assassins, I want to see if I can break a nation with nothing but a horde of assassins killing everything, and maybe some diplomats for bribing off captains.

The updates will likely slack off a bit as English class is doing a number on my free time.
