Master the Middle Ages with Medieval: Total War™ - Collection

The Medieval: Total War™ - Collection offers a definitive way to experience one of the most iconic eras in grand strategy gaming. This comprehensive compilation brings together the critically-acclaimed Medieval: Total War and its official expansion pack, Viking Invasion, providing players with an expansive historical playground spanning centuries of conflict, diplomacy, and conquest.

A Grand Strategy Experience Across Centuries

Set against a dramatic backdrop of rebellion, civil war, and the birth of nations, this collection allows you to guide your chosen faction through four centuries of turbulent history. From the lush grasslands of Western Europe to the arid deserts of Northern Africa, your objectives range from the first Crusade to the eventual fall of Constantinople. Your goal is simple yet daunting: expand your influence, build a dynastic empire, and secure your reign through both steel and intellect.

The gameplay mechanics blend large-scale tactical combat with deep empire management. Players must not only recruit and deploy massive armies to fight on land and sea but also master the art of espionage and diplomacy. Utilize agents such as emissaries, spies, and assassins to forge alliances, offer bribes, or execute clandestine assassinations to destabilize your rivals.

Key Features of the Collection

The Medieval: Total War™ - Collection provides a wealth of content for strategy enthusiasts:

  • Epic Scale: Experience massive, cinematic battles with up to 10,000 soldiers on-screen at once.
  • Diverse Factions: Command fourteen playable factions spanning Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
  • Advanced Siege Warfare: Navigate a sophisticated siege system designed around the formidable castles that defined the era.
  • Character Depth: Manage the "Valour, Vice, and Virtues" of your characters, which directly impact how leaders and troops react to your commands.
  • Naval Combat: Engage in intense maritime battles to control vital trade routes and coastal territories.

Viking Invasion Expansion

Included in this collection is the Viking Invasion expansion, which shifts the focus to a different era of conflict (793–1066). This module features an extended campaign map covering the British Isles and western Scandinavia. Players can choose to lead Viking factions on a mission to raid, loot, and pillage their way to supremacy, or command early Anglo-Saxon factions like Wessex and Mercia in an attempt to repel the invaders and unify the British Isles.

This expansion also introduces new units, additional factions, and enhanced gameplay functionality, such as flaming ammunition, adding even more tactical variety to your conquests.
