 Xeroxed Data November 10, 2008
I found the guide from Totalwarboard much more insightful; it includes tactics and strategy articles, 3D models for individual units and breakdowns for each settlement. The basis of certain articles comes from THE FACE OF BATTLE by John Keegan.
That this weak guide is labeled "Official" shows how small minded Creative Assembly has been on the subject of a strategy companion.
 strategy guide or general review of the game ? June 1, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
the strategy guide of medieval 2 total war is one I wouldn't strongly recommand if you are really searching for in depth strategy outlines. It is more a general review of the game, a big manual to say. Altough the content is quite intersting giving some interesting tips and a thourough overview of unit parameters. I expected to have a larger focus on the in game strategy, even suggesting some interesting formations and battle tactics. Certainly because the game is one of the best strategy games ever made. Regretfully the authours of the guide didn't include outlined battle tactis. More a general description of how to conduct siege and open field battles.
So in conclusion a very good review of the game, but not realy a strategy guide
 Not worth the price February 19, 2007

This guide has a few useful hints of play, but not as many as one would expect for such a work. Most of the book is devoted to a unit list, but even that contains many errors and is of limited use because it is not tabulated for easy comparison. Some other lists are interesting, like the character trait list or the building list, but they are also similarly shallow. No in-depth analysis of the game workings is given, which would have been very useful.
I use it occasionally during play for the few tidbits it contains, but I do not recommend it at the price given.
Not only unhelpful, but misleading January 18, 2007

I am throwing in my hat with the other reviewers: this book is not worth your money. The unit information is consistently incorrect, while the strategy segment borders on vapid. While I did pick up a nugget of wisdom or two (for example, that you can transfer followers between generals), I've learned far more from the internet forums. The game is great, but this manual is not.
If three makes a consensus, then it's official... January 9, 2007
I've been gaming and purchasing gaming manuals since the mid-to-early 90's. Most are very detailed and valuable and serve as true "strategy guides." This guide is very thin on strategy and full on filler. The unit information can actually be gleaned in game. This book is a bit redundant and as the other reviews have hinted, it can be passed over in favor of the internet and/or your own learning curve.
