14 DAY TRIAL // Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms expansion pack. For how long have you PC Total War gamers have been waiting for this? Too long, I know. Medieval II: Total War is one of 2006's biggest PC strategy games, due for release on PC in Autumn 2007 and with Kingdoms, as Sega Europe and Sega of America announced that Medieval gamers will have an unprecedented amount of new content providing a good 75 hours (at least) of epic new gameplay.
The expansion pack will feature 4 brand new campaigns, including an opportunity to better explore The New World (if you've unlocked it toward the end of Medieval II). In the Americas campaign, players will be able to retrace the steps of Hern?n Cort?s 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.
Other campaigns however, will offer more detailed content 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 will allow 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. Players will also be able to use moated forts to garrison vast armies or seize control of key strategic points and explore new technology trees, governed by religion and prestige.
Adding that Kingdoms will also include six new multiplayer scenarios and 20 new Custom Battle battle maps, each campaign fully compatible with a brand new Hotseat multiplayer mode, this certainly makes a must-have piece of genre fan's collection, when it releases in autumn 2007, for the PC platform.
