Medieval: Total War Preview on PC.IGN.Com looks at one of the factions in Creative Assembly's imminent RTS game, describing what players can expect when playing for and against the French. They describe the history that leads to France's situation, their political stance, their resources, units, achievements, campaign events, and more. Also, GameSpy.com's Medieval: Total War Developer Diary is online (perhaps a little tardy for volume one, since the game is now gold), written by Mike Brunton. The article describes the game's inspiration, research, the richness of their setting, new tactics and strategies the game will support compared to Shogun: Total War, and more.
