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 ( not played by Sean Connery)and Saladin, each armed with new, powerful battlefield abilities. Three other campaigns will offer more detailed “magnifying glass” campaigns within Great Britain, Northern Europe and the Holy Land, with many more regions than were originally shown in Medieval II. so if you’ve ever fancied gutting a Spaniard at the top of a Aztec pyramid, now’s your chance.

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. In the Americas campaign, players will be able to retrace the steps of Hernán Cortés in 1519, as he seeks to explore and conquer The New World (obviously before he founded Taco Bell). Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms will feature 4 brand new campaigns, including an opportunity to more fully explore The New World that was unlocked toward the end of Medieval II. SEGA reckon their new pack will offer an unprecedented amount of new content that gives gamers over 75 hours of epic new gameplay. The new expansion pack will offer up more than just a few extra units and a ‘mini’ campaign as we normally see in RTS expansions.

SEGA have announced Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms, the expansion pack for their hugely popular strategy game, Medieval II: Total War.
