Medieval was the second addition to the Total War series by Creative Assembly. It featured 12 playable factions and an extra 8 non-playable factions. The setting embodied the four centuries from the First Crusade to the Fall of
Constantinople (1087 - 1453). These were bloody times in the history of humanity with continuous warfare and strife in Europe. This RTS focuses on the nations in Europe, North Africa and Middle East. It's a world of chaos and every faction out there hopes (and does its best) to conquer as many provinces as possible. The expansion, Viking Invasion, featured a new campaign map of the British Islands and the surrounding part of Europe and proposed the player to start his career about 300 years sooner (792 AD) and either try to unite the people of Britain or raid every settlement on the coast by playing the Viking faction. Although the existing campaign is also expanded with new units and three of the formerly non-playable factions become available, the only main difference (aside from the Viking campaign) was really the fixing of the "swipe" bug. This bug in the original Medieval enables the player to give his cavalry unlimited charging bonus. The only problem was that Medieval players were unable to join Viking Invasion multiplayer games and vice-versa. That's why the only acceptable solution was for some of them, that is for those that were OK with the bug, to stick to the original PvP servers while the rest would include Vikings on their black lists. Fortunately for everyone, the cheats remained the same for both the original Medieval game and its expansion. I do however advise you only to make use of them in the single player campaigns. Really, it's not worth it to spoil a good multiplayer game. Careful not to forget to add the "." before and after the cheat code. Enjoy and if you have the time, do try out the latest addition to the series,
