    Phoronix: Medieval II: Total War On Linux, Plays Fine With RadeonSI

    Debuting in 2006, Medieval II: Total War, and its Kingdoms expansion, were the final Total War game to use the second version of the Total War Engine. It is also, arguably, the last game in a generation for the series. The follow-up to this game was Empire: Total War (also available on Linux), which changed the game engine, user-interface, as well as several of the gameplay mechanics-- such as adding naval battles.

    What mesa version did you use since they say you need mesa 11.2 and F23 uses 11.0.3
    I was going to install the demo in steam to try it out but to my surprise i did own the game but never played it, i guess it was included in some humble bundle last summer

      Edit: I see the note youre talking about on the steam page. I don't know what functionality I was apparently missing. Everything was set to max quality under graphic settings, and I never saw any tearing, misrenders, stuttering, or anything else.

          It needs to be Shogun 2 (though Shogun 1 is also ok), otherwise this series doesn't spark any interest in me. Come on, I can't be the only one who gets a hard on for feudal Japan, right?

            I have yet to play either expansion to Shogun 2, I've only done base-game campaigns, but its been pretty awesome. I'm very happy my friend got me into the Total War series with Shogun 2 and not something else.

              I also play it using a APU A10-7850k, mesa 11.1.1 and full HD, max settings... runs perfectly
              The only problem i see is the "events" videos (like princess marriage, merchant acquired) show black... have you any problem like this?

                Negative! All event videos played fine for me.

                    If Humble still does steam keys then you'll get a Linux version off steam. They probably didn't update the page on humble.
