FEATURES- Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms PC
Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms is the official expansion to last
year's award-winning Medieval II: Total War, presenting players
with all-new territories to explore, troops to command, and enemies
to conquer.
Kingdoms is the most content-rich expansion ever produced for a
Total War game, with four new entire campaigns centered on expanded
maps of the British Isles, Teutonic Northern Europe, the Middle
East, and the Americas. In Medieval II, you were only given a
tantalizing glimpse of South America, but in Kingdoms, vast tracts
of land in both North and South America have been opened up for you
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 you to play
one-versus-one campaign games on the same computer.

Reviewed on 2008-07-12 On going Saga 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.

Reviewed on 2008-06-23 Awesome Sequel to an Awesome game Medieval II Total War taken to the next level.... In many ways it is more of the same, but thats not a bad thing in this case.... The only downside is the the Head to Head mode was a rather poor idea and is poorly implemented... but thats ok, it doesn't hurt the game which overall is just plain solid... Works like a charm of my Mac OS X Leopard Macbook Pro... I run it faster than all my PC friends on my Mac... HA!

Reviewed on 2008-05-16 Good Strategy Game Its a great game and a good expansion for Medieval II that adds a great many things to the original one.

Reviewed on 2008-02-20 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.

Reviewed on 2008-01-14 Go Aztecs! Ok, so if you're even considering buying this then you already know of the greatness that is Total War. Mind you, I am completely biased. I think the Total War series is the best wargame/ strategy series ever created. They constantly improve on their games and surprise me. The England, Crusade, and Teutonic Crusade Campaigns all rate as 4 to 4.5 stars to me and dont really give us anything too new other than being able to play fun new factions such as the Irish and The pagan Lithuanians. The real gem for this expansion pack is the Americas Campaign though! It is truly well done (5 stars). The Armies (in particular, the Aztecs and Mayans) are the most colorful this series has seen. The landscapes range from jungle to desert to mountain passes. The jungle battles contain the best scenary the series has yet presented (though fighting the Chichimecs ("Dog People") in a cactus filled desert is great too!). I have played all the factions in the new game (multiple times) but continually find myself going back to the Americas Campaign again and again (for a challenge, play as the Tlaxcallans on "hard" settings). Overall it comes down to this; if you are a diehard fan of the series, you will most likely love this expansion, in particular the Americas and the Teutonic campaigns, if you are a casualy vistor to the Total War series, this game will probably not be worth your time. Stick to your World of Warcraft. Go Aztecs!!!
