Exspansion pack for med 2

i thought they found several settlements and one as far south as maine i think.

the deal is what we know about events and dates usually underestimate the true accomplishments of man. no telliing how many times iron or gunpowder were invented and used before they became commonplace.

theres been evidence form statues in latin america of the visitation of african explorers or colonists. and there is support of a theory that the chinese explored the west coast of north and central america.

nonetheless i think the game has tremendous potential for expansions for the dark age and late rennaisance.

i think a series of mini campaigns with storylines would be easy to produce and interesting to a niche in total war fans. not to be confused with historical campaigns by the way.

Well, think about this for a second or two...

"okay, let's add those viking settlements, they're way too cool! Hmm, now let's see...the reason they are there is....the reason anyone would bother going there is...the point of having them there in a game where the action are centered on big battles is...oh wait they had the great battle of ...... there!"

Anyone with an answer to that? What the HELL is the point of adding a settlement far away in canada to the campaign map?

Exactly. There's hardly even a reason to have Iceland on the map, let alone a settlement that only lasted a few years - even if the Greenlanders sailed to America once in a while to get lumber and to trade.

If BI and Alexander were any kind of indication, I think that having a full Europe Dark Ages type expansion is something we realistically might expect. As Bob said, something that covers the period of the "fall" of the WRE to about 1066 would be awesome, being able to reverse the tides of history and preserve the ERE/Byzantine Empire, and perhaps even crush Islam before it takes serious root would be awesome!

Sounds like something that could range from Sack of Rome to Manzikert time range.

you need to include some kind of romano british faction based in wales. its only fitting. we have to have the bearer of excalibur.

I disagree. I think even small additions like Canada will go a long way to making a great game better. Honestly, if you don't want Canada, leave it alone but I would like to have the OPTION of taking just a small settlement in Canada.

I would like to see a transitional period expansion. It would be wonderful to prevent the dark ages. I would also like to right the "wrong" of Manzikert or perhaps reunite Rome under Byzantine rule and reconcile Rome and Constantinople.
