Medieval 2: Kingdoms - Expansion Discussion

Wow, looks amazing, and the Flamethrowers are at the very end of the trailer.

Another expansion that looks like it has great new additions, especially on the graphics side of things(just watch the trailer, beautiuful fortresses with water

).
Ok, for now I am looking forward to the patch, but I think that will be a very nice expansion

I do wonder whatt he patch will consist of, as if it sorts the game out finally, i might actually ahve to buy M2.

As for the expansion itself, nice one

I like the fact that it isnt JUST one new campaign, but 4 mini ones instead, should pose a lot of oppurtunities for fun!

Looks tasty.

I'm already thrilled about the American and Teutonic campaigns

Hmm - looks intriguing. I'm not too sure about this 'special abilities' thing (they sound a out of place, IMO), but we'll see.

Thanks for the information!

this looks sweet

For those concerned about the "Heroic Abilities" feature, it has already been stated that they will only exist in 1 of the new campaigns and even then only 5 generals will have them. They will not be common by any means.

*rubs hands together* I was thinking I might get this just for the modding tools for DL:TW, but now that I look at it... I dunno, just seeing Krak de Chevalier on that map is exciting... the mini-campaigns seem interesting.

Okay, now I've watched the trailor... OMFG!!!! I'm excited now.

Can't wait for the Eastern Europe campaign; I have a killer book on the Teutonic Order at home.

Special abilities?

Not necessary. The AI won't use it properly and it's just another tool to beat

The trailer is ridiculous; I never knew the Byzantines had invented the WW2 flamethrower.

Hopefully they add the tools to make new units on the battlefield. Until they do that, they aren't really helping the modding community that much.

CA is still going to get my money, so don't counterflame me.

I second, I really don't want "special abilities" to affect an already great game. I also believe that they are out of place and will hinder the game, not make it better. I am glad its only in two expansions campaigns and not all of them. As far as everything else, it looks nice but I hope CA reads the forums here and fix the messes before adding more.

I am worried however, with so much added, that more bugs will be rampant and some features will be broken. I surely hope not. All in all, it does look impressive as long as its somewhat realistic (The key factor of the Total War games) and "could actually had happen in real life" as CA is known to publish and design. As much as I love the TW games, I will jump off the first stop if they add wizards/spells/build orders in a battle and campaign mode. I love this game, truly, but I surely hope they don't make it worst by adding too many ingredience to an already good entree.
