what game should i buy?

[Nemean]

Trying to decide whether to buy Empires: Total war or Medieval 2:total war gold. Just wondering from the community what game they prefer.

I prefer Medieval 2: Total War personally .

*edit* Just to throw in a third option, have you taken a look at any of the Mount & Blade games? similar-ish genre and i've sunk as many hours into them as I did Medieval 2, if not more.

If you dont mind, why do you prefer it over empires? never heard about them, ill take a look

Well for me I just prefered the campaigns on Medieval, beyond the gameplay itself I have interest in the time setting where as very little interest in naval warfare and napoleonic-era battles. Just couldn't seem to get into Empires, not a bad game and i'd probably recommend it as a game to play though.
