 A Classic...a bit dated by now August 9, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
It's a classic turn-based strategy game. The battles are well done, and the game play speed is quite good. Given the game is several years old, the graphics are a bit dated, but it still a fun game to play.
 Vista compatible? Please help! July 28, 2007

I would love to purchase this game but I'm not sure if this will work with Windows Vista? Can somebody please let me know, and if it's not compatible, can you please tell me how can I make it work? I'm a beginner when it comes to PC games so if you can please explain as simple as possible. Much appreciated.
Incredible... July 18, 2007
I know this game is about two years old now but I just bought it for my brother so I figured I would write a review.
I don't normally write reviews but ROTR is so exceptional that I had to say something. After all with all the crappy games out there it's important to recognize and support games that are exceptional.
With the exception of Starflight (A very old title for you veterans) Bard's Tale (same) and Master of Orion II, this is the best game I have ever played. The combo of turn based strategy and RTS in the battle sequences is so good it will make you cry. If you like deep complex turn based strategy games you *MUST* have this game.
Mideival Total War II is just as good by the way.

If you're like me, and wait for a game to get a year old and a reasonable price before buying it, this is a good value. It has a number of changes from the earlier Medieval series which adds to the challenge and depth of the game.
The main difference is that movement on the strategic map is no longer the area to area Risk-type movement of the earlier games. Instead, movement paths are almost micromanaged to put your armies in specific places compared to their opponents once the game converts to the tactical battlefield level. This adds a nice level to the military aspects of the game. Unfortunately, every agent and navy's movement must also be micromanaged, which adds to the eventual tedium that takes over the game in the latter stages of the campaigns. This might not be so bad except that the movement rates tend to be VERY VERY slow, so that it can take years for a ship to sail across the Mediterranean. I realize that it's a game, not a simulation, so you just have to accept the artificailities built into the game-system. For the agent and sea movement, I preferred the area movement of the earlier series.
Still, all things considered, if you have time on your hands and don't mind dedicating a significant portion of your life to your computer, this one will keep you entertained for a long time.
One of my all time favorites! July 7, 2007

This game never ceases to be fun...can't even count the number of times I've re-installed! A classic that will never leave my library.
And as soon as my computer is updated I'm sure I'll be playing Medieval II!
