The chance of an acceptable medieval 3 is not 0%, the chance of a medieval 3 that matches the inflated, exaggerated, nostalgic misremembering of Medieval 3 is definitely 0%.

CA has been fucking up a lot since Empire, but I never like the sanctification that Shogun 2 and M2 get as someone who was there on release for either. People overlook issues like the vaseline soaking, realm divide, we arr rook same we arr fight same, throwing weapons being abominable in medieval 2, overpowered generals and brain-dead generals alike in medieval 2, nonexistent diplomacy.

No game is ever going to match the gilded nostalgia in your head. You can validly question if medieval 3 will be passable, acceptable, or good, but the minute it gets into
>Will it be better than medieval 2
You're asking the material of the present to compete with the spirit of the past, and that's a game nobody can win.
