Story Medieval 2 Total War - Kevorkian Edition

[Lost in a Dream]

In another thread, I posted about an epic campaign I played while playing Medieval 2, but I decided to start a new one just to show you guys what Medieval 2 - Kevorkian Edition looks like. It's definitely an interesting way to play for sure, and I'm hoping to tell a story here about the progress of my Right to Die Society. For the sake of gameplay, I chose Scotland because it's a very weak faction in the early game, kind of like the Right to Die communities in real life are, but it will get stronger with time.

Here is the starting position:



As you can see here, I have 2 armies outside of my capital city, as well as a few agents: my first Euthanasia Doctor, my spy, and my diplomat. The kingdoms to the south and north are ruled by Forced Lifers and their capital cities are York and Inverness. I've also got a small navy over to the left as well.



This is my Euthanasia Doctor, Dr. Brian Maknab. He pretended to be a priest and fooled the Pope so well he became a Cardinal, but he is still at the end of the day the Jack Kevorkian of my society. We just can't let the Pope find out lol.



Here's my Spy. I'm going to send him to the south to spy on York and see how many units they have defending the territory.



And here is Prince Edward and his Mercenary Army!





He is going to attack York the first chance he gets, but unfortunately getting there is quite a journey for his troops.



And this is my King! He doesn't have much authority, but if he fights against the Forced Lifers, he will gain more respect by his people. Also, as you can see, Dr. Maknab has moved into Edinburgh to help people die in his Euthanasia Clinic.



Anyway, this is all the files I can attach for now, so we will see what people think of this.

Okay, I'm going to see if I can continue this thread. I have more pictures to share, but they have to be placed in a separate post because 8 images is the limit per post. Anyway, I want to show a little bit more of what my society looks like before Turn 1 Ends and we go to war with the Forced Lifers.



Here you can see we are constructing a Port to help with trade and give our Navy a good place to dock. Since our Euthanasia Doctor uses a Peaceful Tea that he mixes up for his patients (it has a pleasant fruity flavor and offers those who drink it a peaceful way out of life if they choose), if we trade with other countries and form alliances with them, we can trade the ingredients for this tea with them among other goods, which will not only help the economy, but help people in other countries who wish to exit life the peaceful way.



Now we're recruiting new units to defend our territory from foreign invasion, while also providing our armies with more troops to fight against the Forced Lifers and their kingdoms/empires.



King Malcolm has joined the army so he can fight the Forced Lifers to the north. This will help him gain more respect from the people, while also strengthening our small nation and providing a way out of life for people living in Inverness who are miserable and want access to Dr. Maknab's services.



Edmund Canmore is King Malcolm's Second in Command here! He's a youngin, but as you can see, he is decently loyal to The Right to Die society we have here.



The army didn't quite make it all the way to Inverness but they are close to the Castle there. It will be a challenging battle to capture it, but it's worth it!



And here is our Diplomat! He isn't the best at diplomacy, but he will get better with time. He just has to offer foreign nations trade rights and map information which they find quite generous normally.



Patrick Macdougall the Diplomat is heading south towards England, which is a united country that is more powerful than the surrounding kingdoms. We shall see soon enough if they are Forced Lifers, or if they will adopt The Right to Die as a philosophy like our nation has. We will first offer them trade rights and map information before seeing if they are okay with an alliance. It's difficult to know if they will betray us or not. If they attack, it means they are Forced Lifers and we will fight against them tooth and nail if we have to.
