It does indeed, seems province size could be a bit of an issue but I dont think it'll stop me getting the game. Ever played EU3?

Apparently the provinces are big but you can develop various towns and stuff in each one, also it leads to more field battles which is great. Medieval 2 may as well have been called Siege:Total War...
Never played EU3 but I have meant to buy it for a while, I can't find it in any shops. Can't say I've looked too hard though.

there's a well working free version out there.
I'm actually pretty happy with the number of set-piece battles in the game. Though it's probably mostly a function of the early game, I've seized some four territories as Prussia (early Partition...suck it, Poland!), none of which required any wall-scaling even in the siege action. Objective wasn't to 'take the town center' but to eliminate enemy forces, which has been a lot more fun. And blowing apart Warsaw to take down the Polish troops garrisoned inside was a joy, especially since there was no worry about taking the city center and no crap about forts (silly Poles hadn't had the time to build them, bwaha).

there are total war like battles in victoria?
What? No, not at all. It's like EU 3 with way more control over demographics of various kinds. In order to facilitate the simulation of industrialization your people in each territory are split up into 'PoP's, each of which is just a bloc of people with a given ideological view, religious affiliation, nationality, class, and so forth. That's pretty much the overwhelming difference between it and EU 3...virtually everything else is more or less the same...

where you talking about medieval 2? prussia? some awesome mod?
Empire: Total War. To continue from what Shekwan was actually talking about. Unlike M2TW, it actually has a Prussia.

My dentists appointment yesterday was great. As usual no teeth problems, my gums look great, and thy change the x ray thing from one big plastic plate that hurt to hold in your mouth to a little transmitter that was a breeze. I love going to the dentist.

We got a new bus. Where the heater is not in my seat.
One of the bullies told me he was just in it for the heater. He really didn't care about my reaction.
Now there is one singular bully.
