the unit upgrade from different armor lvls has made this game still great to play when played with a mod. lotr game is a great mod. bc the unit upgrade it just ads that flavor of improvement in your armor at each lvl. love it.
Woah! Never knew that upgrades in Medieval 2 changes the units armour outfits and a lil changes on weaponsas well... TW:M2 is so ahead of its time for a 2006 game! Thanks for the upload!! 😲👍
I kind of agree and disagree medieval 2 is really impressive and much better then the competitors at that time but, these days developers have become very lazy just doing countless reskins and whenever they actually add something you have to pay at least 10 dollars for dlc. So my point being total war games have really regressed terribly by greedy corporate scum and talentless game developers
@@tonyASi Can we really say they are lazy considering how many races there are in Warhammer alone, most with their own unique unit models and animation?
@@tonyASi CA fell off when they released rome 2. EVERY game after that is worse. The moment they sign with warhammer is their deaths. Its been copy paste ever since and warhammer consoomer are going crazy over countless reskin. They dont even have reload animation bro.
@@Hell_O7 Reskin with minor tweaks. Sell for 10 Dollar. They are still using rome 2 engine even if theres a lot of generational bugs. That is not lazy to you ?
@@zulazhar1259 Skaven and Nurgling alone have a very distinct size and animation, and that is just one of many considering how many different races there are in the game.
@@Uragan00829 Two handed weapons are already re adjusted in Kingdoms, it only really needs to be applied in vanilla [tho there are 'vanilla' like mods that just port Kingdoms features to vanilla]
@@Uragan00829 Well Rome Remaster had most of its changes be optional including Unit balancing so i don't see why not. Ill be fine with anything as long as they don't change the UI.
Stuff like this I miss from the older games. This was a great little feature to showcase how units evolved over time. Why they got rid of it cus they’re lazy.
Dear god... Please. Make this a series! With that being said, I'd now like to express how I wish this is still a thing! I love the idea of customizing our units in this manner.
What stands out with Medieval 2 is the fact that even your most cheap and poor infantry can be used effectively if you're strategic enough I once had a single peasant unit defend against a siege , and it managed to hold off some spear militia simply because attacking is extremely hard , thus giving you a bonus regardless of unit
Love this format video. Not see other compare unit update like this. Keep up good work mate. Small thing i remember those italian state got pike unit. But i dont see them in here 😊
That was something i only found out after many many hours but i love seeing the change, seeing my peasant/militia boiz getting real armor was pretty awesome. i especially liked the upgrades on the turkish units, maybe you can show those in another video! I dont know if i ever really played the nations that had men at arms and broken lances, either way i almost never built them and had no idea they had upgrades, i usually just used fuedal knights, and i don't think those had any but maybe I didn't upgrade the armorer enough.
Download Stainless Steel. Its pretty much a remaster. Not so much graphic wise but it adds a ton of units to every faction, adds new factions, and two handed anti cav/anti armor units are actually powerful. Nothing more satisfying then seeing french cavalry get annihilated running into a wall of Obudshaer
I’ve been playing Medieval II since 2008 and ONLY NOW do I learn that the equipment upgrades not only raise units’ stats, but also upgrade them cosmetically as well!!! I don’t know how I never noticed!
This is the best totalwar game if they add HP regen system into it and rebalance some troops (for exam: Dismount Gothic Knight is too weak,they must to have the best armour in game)
Ummm slight correction I would make is that the Italian Spear Militia have greaves and gauntlets and what looks like Brigandine/ Coat Of Plates on top of a Long Sleave Mail Shirt so you could call the armor they are wearing Coat of Plates instead of Heavy Mail because after looking at the Sergent Spearmen and Armored Sergent afterwards that looks more like Heavy Mail than what the Italian Spear Militia are wearing
Yes, but the game UI identifies that tier of armor upgrade as "Heavy Mail" which is how you know what level of building gives the upgrade (ie: the one which gives the "Heavy Mail" upgrade, and who can get it (ie: the unit info says its next armor upgrade is "Heavy Mail") Some mods add a bunch of extra armor tiers allowing for alternative names, more granularity, or just change the string to read something like "heavy mail/brigandine" etc

Dol Amroth nice
So, one thing I have learned some time ago, that those armor upgrades do actually matter, and in fact matter a lot.

I hope they Remaster this game with improved mechanics for diplomacy in the grand campaign (non-aggression pact, etc.)
And improved unit types, like two handed weapons, pikes, maybe even halberts?
@@Uragan00829 Two handed weapons are already re adjusted in Kingdoms, it only really needs to be applied in vanilla [tho there are 'vanilla' like mods that just port Kingdoms features to vanilla]
@@ThatTonnatoTenrec Yeah the most units were rebalanced but idk if Remaster will do that to preserve the "original feel"

And multiplayer.

Dude thanks so much that helps me for my new video "coming soon by the way" thanks for the showcase in upgrades

Dismounted broken lances, a horde of hilariously armored sword troops invading the Aztecs from a map filled with many huge cities.
awesome video mate, i really like their models and colours :D
please do all factions! i love this
This simply makes me play Medieval II, I only played Rome & Rome II but this, is perfect
my favorite was always danish crossbow fully upgraded. never knew why
armour upgrades in this game, both in mods & in vanilla remain one of my very favorite parts of Med II
I never noticed that with improvement the unit model changes 🤯
It's a bit of a shame that the ranged units can't get an upgraded version of their weapons... 😢
Imagine the increased damage potential from that...
As i remember they can. I manually edit the swordsmith guild to upgrade ranged units too and they also come with a visual upgrade.
@@christofera.6659 WHAT?
They fact unit upgrades are visible is great! Not just +2 atk or stuff like this. Was point i like to see and i was late to Medival 2 party (2019).
nice one. ever thought about doing more videos like this for different factions and/or unit types?
Next Showcase is coming soon ❤️

Наконец-то хоть кто то про это снял!
One of the things I love most about this game over more recent TW games
Great vid. Do Byzantine empire now
Mens fashion show be like:
I wonder why first recruit unit is spear when playing campaign beginning times?
we need medieval 2 remastered
Id say the just touch up the resolution of the textures of the game. And not change anything to it.
@@rockman9377 and QOL change
First of all we need medieval 3. A good medieval 3.

@@drollyrancher7020 bleh stain lesss steel has horrible ui, cant play it
how can i update my unit fast way ?
Build and upgrade Blacksmith building chain to upgrade units armour and recruit swordsmen in castle for Swordsmith Guild (Weapon Upgrade)
@@MedievalWarfareAlso, there’s a bug that the upgrade may not work. You may have to click the upgrade just before you go to next turn.

@medievalwarfare can you make a video on how to add your music to Rome total war or medieval 2 total war? please🥺
This was th only game that ever implemented this feature
Rome 2 does not have it
Shogun 2 does not have it
And none of the other historical games
Byzantine spearmen?
ah, back when armour upgrades weren't just a stat change
Visual changes really makes the game better and more immerse ❤️
Creative Assembly should remaster or release Medieval 3 , they are wasting time and money releasing new TW games
my biggest problem with the games that came after was the death of this feature
Hi friend
u will make camping about empire total war mobile when its release
Keep going ur videos are good
That Islamic factions sound track hits hard.
I love the idea of upgrading the peasants farm tools instead of giving them actual weapons
The visual improvement is quite a let down since it is just a plus 1 improvement but still a nice touch which I haven't seen in modern iterations
dude, +1 is a lot, especially for armor since it applies all the time for everything.
give armor to hobilars
very cool
HRE next please
Can you do Venice too please?
Upgraded Venetian Archers and Heavy Infantry are *chef's kiss"
For me TWM2 was peak total war.
Hello, please, brother, how do I add the Arabic language?
I would liked if the shields change too.
the shields don't get upgrades tho :/
@@LucasCunhaRocha yeah, It would be great they changed with the sword too.
Can u do england?
Damn this is great! What is the music? And is the game still good? Never played it. Do I need any mods?
Improving equipment kinda imporves the units too much
It's almost as if their animations also change and become smoother
Bang mau tanya, kalo kita beli game nya udh dapet expantion nya blm? Apa kudu beli lagi
Beli expantion kingdoms ya! Dia kasi faction baru dan senario baru juga.
ada dua harga, yg standard nya aja atau yg stadard plus expansion, kalau mau main expansion nya beli yg lebih mahal
Bang bikin campaign mode lagi dong, versi mobile tapi ada VO nya, pake AI juga gapapa, biar ga boring ada suaranya
nanti kalau livestream ya bang, pasti pakai commentary ❤️
Its pretty funny that the spearmen from the castle is so useless when the italian militia units are already better lmao
Yeah lol the game is terrible, I don't understand why people praise it so much, it makes no sense.

PLEASE DO SPAIN
bang kamu orang indo ya?
Is this in game campaign or just for custom battle?
The armour / weapon upgrade is also applicable in campaign
