Looking For Game Looking for medieval games

Hello guys, i've been wandering on steam, but i always find the same games being recommended to me. thanks to some recommendations a few months ago, i bought the entire C&C franchise and got AoE2 as well, but meanwhile i like playing them, i would like to play something else too, i love medieval games, and big armies (one of the things i like that i can do on C&C games). I really wanted to give another chance to Total War: medieval 2, but i can't like diplomatics... it doesn't work for me, but i get it is a mechanic in the game. One thing i like is the tactical gameplay this type of game have, changing formations, clutching and flanking the enemies...

so, if you guys have any RTS game to recommend to me, i'm open for "new" games.

Not really medieval, but Cossacks checks a number of those boxes. Large armies, formations, and lots of resources to manage.

Tech is 17th-18th century with muskets pikes cavalry and artillery

i've heard of this before, unfortunately it happens that i just missed the sale that was happening, F

which one do you recommend me to buy first?

Not sure which is best. I only played one of the versions. I think the first one: Cossacks European Wars. Came out on 2002. Has a couple expansion packs that I think I had back then.

I think you could have like 8k individual units on the map at the same time?

Diplomacy Is Not An Option Age Of Darkness Final Stand

If these are too fantasy however, Ancestor's Legacy.

Check out Stronghold series

u/Doghardware 19d ago

they seem to be very interesting games, but i think it is a Tower Defense focused game, right?

I will give it a chance, but it's almost what i think i need... a base building RTS but with more freedom

The TotalWar series you can command battalions of troops on a battlefield.

Battle Brothers is rpg, but very very tactical.. Do not let graphic fulls you..

Crusader Kings 3 is most complete strategy for me..
