All-new factions from the New World are also now fully playable, including the Aztecs, Apaches, and Mayans. In both sports meeting, you rule all aspects of your kingdom throughout centuries of medieval warfare.

I bought the Gold Edition for my son from Future Shop in Canada. There was no CD-Key for installation and I had to return it.
Turns out the CD-Key was on a sticker on the in black and white manual. But when some brilliant mind chose to save cash by ditching the in black and white manual and providing it on a CD – he forgot to include the CD-Key somewhere in the box.
When I went back to Futureshop they opened the remaining items in stock – 5 – and all had the same conundrum.

I am a fans of the total war series. I have fun with this version of total war even though I reflect the Unit in this version do not have much special ability as Rome Total War.
The huge complain to this version is the installation process, I really feel frustrate for the installation process. The securom is the worst software I ever seen. The first time I install the game, the error box comes out to said that the installation cannot make a secure installation process. I try all my home computer and none of them works. Also, my DVD rom starts not effective anymore and requires a reboot. I finally find out the conundrum which is because my computer did not connect to the internet (which my internet connection is down at that time). The terrible thing is that the error dialog box never tell you what is going on, expect to mess up my DVD rom. Some of my DVD rom cannot even read the disk!
After the long installation process (nearly an hour), I can start to play the game. But, the start up process is super slow since that stupid securom do some crazy check every time I start the game, and properly try to connect to the internet again a do some crazy thing without notice me. One thing I notice is that if I left the disk in my dvd rom when I boot up my windows, it will then takes forever to start the machine, again, I am sure it is the securom, just like a melware to mess up my machine.
I can know that company need to use some security technology to prevent the privacy issue, but it is very terrible if this security causes a lot of distress to the normal player. I buy the game and I don’t want to get into distress of mess up my machine. Anyway, there are cracks for this game online already and that stupid securom is useless expect to penalize the normal player like me who really buy the game. I will suggest Sega or Creative Assembly to reconsider this issue again otherwise it forces the fans of this game to download the crack in order to bypass the stupid and troublesome installation process!!

I run the ATI Radeon® X1600, 3.0 dual core Pent, 2.0 Gig ram, Windows XP. Took 4 restarts, and countless downloaded patches to finnaly be able to run the program. 5 minutes into the game, my system locked up and I finished up having to reinstall my graphics card.
I spent 2 days trying to play this game. It looks very sweet the few minutes I can get it to run. Have never been able to play more the 3 game days without locking up. After a very long restart, I am forces to go maintance on my graphics in order to run any of my sports meeting.
I have researched other people posting similar problems. Save you computer, time, and sanity. Do not attempt to play this game.

I have version 1, and the upgrade was worth it. I hesitated until I got Rome Total War and thought, well that is a splendid improvement, MTW2 should be awesome. And it is and was. I am still hooked on RTW so I will play this more later. Excellent job, excellent buy.

Got this for my son for Xmas this year and had problems from the get go. Distress loading it, the Sega support website was less then helpful. Read up on this game on many other websites and came to the conclusion that it just has a lot of inherent problems. He has Rome Total War and likes it – no problems getting that game to run. We are sending this back- it crashes or reverts to a previous point in the game witout notice, the sound suddenly turns off and some sort of DOS command dialogue box pops up occasionally. He also received 1701 AD and is enjoying that one as well. Oh, well, the game looks cool -for the 10 or 15 minutes he can in fact play with it
