Medieval: Total War was the absolute funnest strategy game I've had the pleasure of playing. I tend to gravitate more toward turn-based games, though they tend to lack action. Medieval's campaign mode, however, combined turn-based Europeon warfare with tactical battles you had the option of commanding. The grouping of your units in these battles is a stroke of genius that allows you create sweeping epic battle befitting of your grand design in conquering nations. While Rome and Shogun were great in their own rights, Medieval seemed to have the most perfectly designed engine and interface.I understand there is also a sequel being developed to Medieval using the Rome engine. The screenshots on the official site were mind-jarring, but the trailer that premiered at E3 instantly sold me on the game. Thousands of troops now have individually scripted movement, which creates the illusion of the most perfectly rendered battlefield I've ever seen in a video game.

I like civilization developing strategy games like Civilization II.
