I have mostly finished Medieval Total War. Quite liked until the game AI started to cheat by generating utterly implausible oppositions
I find that when the game starts cheating that blatantly it's time for me to declare the rest of the game a mopping up exercise. On the other hand, I've won on impossible with everyone save the Holy Roman Empire (never really played them), Sicily and the Kingdom of Aragon. (And that without cheesing the Jihads). The income from sea trade in that game is seriously broken if you build a strong navy (and as my favourite factions are England, Byzantium, and Venice I don't think that going for a strong navy and massive trade routes is out of character for any of them). One thing I notice is that when the computer plays both factions, France always conquers England. Oh, and the Mongols get slaughtered far too easily.
