@Retillias yeah, try facing the mongols with spain,they have no fuckin spears, i never should have called that crusade on jerusalem, shoulda just left the mongols and tumurids to the russians, turks and egyptians, would have been much easier and cheaper.
@TheAshy14 I tried that first, but the Turks, Egyptians and Russians were useless, so by the time they met me, the Mongols already owned most of Asia and Africa...
@Retillias unlucky then, at least i managed to set up forts to block them entering my middle east empire by building them in the mountains of turkey and azerbijan, that makes there cavalry near useless by the way, really helped me if you do another playthrough it's a good idea to block off chokepoints with garrisoned forts to slow their advance
@TheAshy14 That does sound like a good idea, actually. I don't know why I didn't think of that... If I play another campaign, I'll get to it right away, but for now, I'm trying for Holy Roman world domination... Its nearly the year 2000 and I'm the largest of four remaining factions, but I'm still losing badly...
@Retillias lol i'm sure you'll pull it off, or the 3 remaining nations will team up and go against your germans, that really would be the first world war :L
@TheAshy14 Well, at the moment, only the Timurids are causing any bother, because I suspect the Mongols are suffering as much as I am. And the other faction lives in Mexico, so they aren't really a big deal.... But maybe if I join forces with the Mongols, I'll be able to send the Timurids back to hell...
@Retillias lol good plan, i started a new spain campaign, took western fance and took the iberian peninsula except for protugal, trying to fund a crusade to jerusalem now, it'll be quite a while til i reach the stage you're at :L
You are the king. you protect your people with force, and they protect you in return. Your enemies are relentless and committed to your demise. With the most noble intentions and the aid of your warriors, god willing, you will smite them all and build a golden future for your empire!
This is the type of music you'll see in a war film, there will be a death montage, then you'll see a woman slightly crying, that is why i beleive its called "the widow" sad little tune, but i love it :)
If you have the game I believe there is also some application floating around in the net that allows you to extract all the songs from the game in the form of mp3 files.
fantastic song. I think medieval II total war is the best strategy game and my favourite faction THE TURKS

Beautiful song. It (and the title) makes me think of a woman weeping after her husband who has went to war. RIP Brave knight.

@antred11 That would be a .DAT extractor then. From what I know all the music is compressed into a .DAT file except the loader music.
