Manufacturer's Description
Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms features 4 brand new campaigns, including an opportunity to more fully explore The New World that was unlocked toward the end of Medieval II. In the Americas campaign, players can retrace the steps of Hernán Cortés in 1519, as he seeks to explore and conquer The New World. Players can earn the support of Spain and explore the mystery and riches of the New World, or take control of the Aztec or Native American factions and call on the Gods and the bravery of vast armies to see off this new threat.

Three other campaigns offer more detailed magnifying glass campaigns within Great Britain, Northern Europe and the Holy Land, with many more regions than were originally shown in Medieval II. Featuring 13 new playable factions and over 150 new units, Kingdoms allows players to control thousands of men on a single battlefield and lead them into conflict with new hero characters such as Richard The Lionheart and Saladin, each armed with new, powerful battlefield abilities. In addition, players can use moated forts to garrison vast armies or seize control of key strategic points and explore new technology trees, governed by religion and prestige.

Players can experience a bloody clash between pagans and Christians in the Northern European Teutonic Wars, or take control of one of 5 factions in the Britannia campaign when England faces war on 4 fronts as once conquered lands rise up against them. Kingdoms also includes a new expanded Crusades campaign, where players renew their fight for control of the Holy Lands, with new factions, devastating new units (such as the terrifying Greek Flame Thrower), legendary heroes and powerful holy relics.

Kingdoms also includes six new multiplayer scenarios, and 20 new Custom Battle battle maps. Each of the campaigns is also fully compatible with the brand new Hotseat multiplayer mode, making this an essential addition to any Total War fans' collection.

STUNNING!!!
if you were not already blown away be medievel 2 total war you will have to check out the expansion pack KINGDOM

it is so good that each campaign feels like a whole different game... it is worthy to be total war material.
JUST WOW

it also has famous characters in the campaign like scotland had William Wallace ( braveheart-1995 )
and the kingdom of jeruselem has richard the lion heart

Simply great.

i highly think that people should get this.....NOW!!

Not what i Expected
I was a bit suprised when i got this game as i thought it was going to follow on from where Medieval II Total War Left off. Mostly I was looking forward to being the aztecs and defending against the spanish and then maybe being able to go to europe and conquer the rest of the world. But even though you can't do the things i wanted to it is still a great game, but i wouldent say it was as good as the original but if you have the original it is a must have.

Spoiled by bugs, but a patch is promised
This expansion to M2:TW, a game that I couldn't enjoy playing until two major patches had been released, is perhaps unsurprisingly spoiled by bugs of its own. Some of the campaigns are less affected than others but all have at least one advertised feature that doesn't work properly.

The bad news was that the developers and publishers had stated that there would be no further patches for M2:TW or Kingdoms. The good news is that they seem to have changed their minds, and a patch is expected some time in 2008. How many problems this will solve remains to be seen.

One final fly in the ointment: the game installs SecureROM copy protection on your machine. Some PC owners dislike having difficult-to-remove software installed on their machines.
