WARNING: ABOUT THE GAME'S DISAPPEARANCE FROM YOUR LIBRARY

The game is not gone from your library, they simply merged it with Medieval II. To find it follow these steps:

• Install Medieval II
  
• Go to your steam game library
  
• Right click on Medieval II
  
• Below the "Play Game" option there should be 4 new options with the Kingdoms campaigns.

Kingdoms is the expansion pack (yeah, not DLC, for 20 bucks you can buy actual, sturdy, nearly endless content) of Medieval II: Total War.

It includes 4 new campaigns set on different time periods and countries/continents full of 13 new factions, 50 new building types and over 100 new units. It's just overwhelming and so much worth it.

Each campaign covers an important moment in medieval history: the war for the British Isles, the Crusades in the Holy Land, the conversion of the pagans in Northern Europe and the conquest of the Americas. Some nice new elements that improve the game are the addition of heroes, more detailed maps, new soundtracks, new opportunities to exploit in order to increase your faction's influence and more.

The best part of this expansion is: MODS! To name a few: Stainless Steel, Third Age: Total War, The Elder Scrolls: Total War. You replace one of the default campaigns with one of the modded ones, and you can switch back and forth whenever you want with some PC file management.

On the downside, AI is still a bit slow-minded, both in battles and in overworld map. Armies choose automatically the long way around, allies are not reliable at all and it's better to control them personally, etc. The graphics feel a bit old too, but still ok for a 2007 game.

Overall, it's a vital experience for those that plan to add Medieval II in their collection with tons of new content, but it can be a bit non-challenging for hardcore strategy players.


8.5/10

If only they just built and updated the concept of this game instead of shifting the Total War games that they have in recent years to different styles like Attila Total War, etc. This is by far the best Total War game and includes alot of factors that the newer ones simply drowned out.

Played it a little bit, downloaded a mod or two. Wait what? It's 3am?

Great Graphics, Terrific Game Play, Optimization, and Battle Music. Arguably Best TW ever.

The shining paragon of the Total War franchise. Medieval II is one of those timeless games that you have spent and will spend countless number of hours on. Coupled with one of the best modding communities for any game, this is a must-buy for anyone in the rts sphere of gaming.

Kingdoms adds four wonderful, regional campaigns which create a fully enjoyable expansion, worth hours of gameplay.

One of the best Total War entries to date. Be sure to check the Third Age mod for an epic campaign in Tolkien's Middle Earth.
