An amazingly large expansion

This expansion provides nearly twice as much content as existed in the original game. Each of the four campaign settings--Crusades, Americas, Teutonic, and Britannia--have been laid out in great detail and make for a fun and interesting new experience. The only downside I've seen so far are the somewhat excessive victory conditions for the Teutonic campaign. Nevertheless, it should provide plenty of challenge and many hours of entertainment.

Very fun and worthwhile expansion

The expansion is well done. Anyone who likes MIITW will like the expansion. It comes with 4 full campaigns, new unit types, and several AI tweaks. All well done (as we've come to expect from Total War) and all fun.

M2: TW Kingdoms

Kingdoms is an expansion to Medieval 2: Total War. In the expansions to previous Total War games, the developers focused exclusively on one area of the main game's campaign map. In this expansion, each primary area of the map has its own unique campaign.

Each unique campaign has its own set of new elements added to both game play and unit builds.

The Kingdoms expansion is very much a value added product. And, as with all the games in this franchise, there is even more potential for extended replayability and enhanced enjoyment once the modders have their go at tweeking and mutating it to fit their own wants and ideas. The Total War franchise has a very strong and dedicated modder base.

Medieval 2: Kingdoms - Best Expansion Ever

The "Kingdoms" expansion pack brought back the depth of historical realism of Medieval: Total War 2, as it's historical emphasis seemed to have slightly faded from the original Medieval: Total War. An excellent expansion with four seperate campaigns that take you deep into the history and ambience of their specific region and era. Excellently designed and researched, while losing none of the excitement in play. I highly recommend this expansion to anyone who appreciates any of the total war games.

Medieval II Kingdoms review

They make some decent changes to the game in this expansion. They fix assassin's so they are useful again, but priests seem to have a lower success rate against heretics. The different kingdoms campaigns are difficult but interesting. If you liked the first Medieval, this is a nice companion to it.

Expansion? Or expensive mods? You be the judge.

Firstly, I love Medieval. It's a very enjoyable RTS, and its historical value is not to be undermined. However, I was sold by the `IMMENSE' amount of `additions' to the game, and the hundred some odd new units. Yeah, well, marketing is really clever. Drawback? Will I buy another expansion to this series? Not likely. As previously noted, if you want a bunch of extracurricular side quest campaigns to play, then this is the expansion for you. For those of you looking for additional content added to the original game.. this expansion fails. The End.

More of the same (but still good)

This is kind of like 4 expansion packs in 1: The New World, Britian, the Baltic, and the Middle East. They're really aren't any major changes to the basic play of the game but it's kind of cool to have new maps to fight on.

The New World was a little disappointing; I thought that the Spanish (with gunpowder) should have more of an impact when fighting the natives. Britian was kind of fun (the Norse are the toughest to play, IMO). The Baltic has the Teutonic Order, who has cool units but they're tought to play because they're surrounded by enemies. The Crusades were pretty cool too, especially since the Mongols are less devastating that in MTW2 (although the Crusader states have things a little too easy, IMO).

I didn't have any problems with installing or with crashing. Like with MTW2 in general, I wish they had put more work into developing the mechanics rather than focusing mainly on the graphics. Overall, it's not great but it's worth the money.

Recommended.

50/50

I say 50/50 because as i do like the new units,features and new mini campaigns i was not happy that the new units and features were not included in the original campaign.I also did not like the fact that as a European you have a starting point in the Americas instead of playing the Spanish,French or English in the original campaign and at some point sail over seas to form a colony.I feel the game makers just took to many short cuts on this expansion.This could have been much better.So now i'll just wait untill some modder makes it better game mod like Rome Totalrealism that was modded over Rome Totalwar which turned out to be a much better game than the original from activision.

Good Strategy Game

Much has been written already about this expansion pack. My experience with this series is a very positive one. With just the right mix of resource management and tactical skill, both on the large map and in each individual battle, this series is first rate.

A better technology tree and more advanced units to strive for are my only complaints.
