Kingdoms features four new entire campaigns centered on expanded maps of the British Isles, Teutonic Northern Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. In Medieval II, players were only given a glimpse of South America, but in Kingdoms, vast tracts of land in both North and South America have been opened up for players to conquer. All-new factions from the New World are also now fully playable, including the Aztecs, Apaches, and Mayans. Along with the new maps in the Britannia, Teutonic, Crusades, and New World Campaigns, there are 13 new factions to play, over 110 units to control, and 50 building types, adding up to 80 hours of new gameplay. Kingdoms also offers new multiplayer maps and hotseat multiplayer, a first for the Total War series, allowing players to play one-versus-one campaign games on the same computer. [Sega]… Expand

    Kingdoms breathes fresh life into the Total War franchise, just when it needs it most.

    A general clean up of what was already a consummate package, with the addition of some incredibly absorbing new campaigns.

    There's almost no reason not to mount your horse and charge through the doors of PC World, beheading the security guard with a Zweihander and screaming blood-oaths as you enter your pin number, to get hold of a copy of Kingdoms. Only the weak will not be buying this expansion pack, and frankly, the weak are there to be trampled. [Sept 2007, p.82]

    A great expansion pack, and it's the standard to which all other expansions should hold themselves.

    True, there are some surprises in the way the new campaigns play out but, dog warriors and Greek fire aside, Medieval 2 fans will be in very familiar territory here.

    The problem with all these things which have been coded to create historical semi-realism is that it creates a limit of the tech-tree they can climb.
  7. GameDaily

    Options like the hotseat multiplayer turn out being a massive waste of time. Lastly, the expansion doesn't integrate very well with Medieval II, with each campaign operating like a stand-alone, multi-part, Total War scenario.

    I'm giving this expansion a 0 in protest! I was really looking forward to playing the multiplayer campaign hotseat with my brother only I'm giving this expansion a 0 in protest! I was really looking forward to playing the multiplayer campaign hotseat with my brother only to find that when it comes to a fight the attacking player only gets to control his/her side. The defending player has to put his/her troops in the hands of the A.I. As you can imagine this is not acceptable and makes the campaign multiplayer useless!… Expand
