    Default Which Medieval 2: Kingdoms campaign takes your fancy?

    Which one do you think you will play first?

    Tuetonic Order

    Crusades

    Britannia

    Americas

    I intend to play them all eventually, but I'm probably going to play Britannia first, possibly as someone new (though I haven't done the Scots or English yet in Vanilla M2tw).

    Hope to play all campaigns also but will start with the Americas as that's the real new element, the rest being almost already in th main game.

    Honestly?

    None.

    I was really hoping for a MTWII: Reformation/Renaissance.

    I'll try the Britain one first, followed by either Crusader or Eastern Europe. Then I'll probably replay the Britain, Crusader and Eastern Europe ones over with the different factions. I'm not interested in the American one; I expect I shall try it once simply for the sake of having seen it.

    Really? The Americas one appeals to me very much.

    I adore early medieval history, love the so called 'high' era, and start to lose interest once guns begin to appear. The American campaign is going to be set after the time my interest has taken a big dive. It's also set in a place I'm not interested in, filled with cultures which don't appeal to me. I like my knights in armour, my longbows, and my castles; I have a penchant for Samurai too. Aztecs, Maya and all that aren't my thing.

    Different tastes and interests. I think it is good the expansion is covering multiple periods. This way there should be something for most people.

    Definitely the Teutonic Campaign first, then probably the Americas. Not very interested in the Britain campaign, and I'm not sure about the crusades campaign.

    I think the Teutonic, but to be honest especially the timeframe of the Britain campaign dissapoints me a lot.
    I really hoped for a reworked viking invasion.
    Who knows, perhaps SEGA or CA someday see the point in redoing the vikings.

    Truely I am interested in all of them. But prioritizing it would be Britain, America, Eastern europe, Crusader.

    I'm with the amusing Thief weapon, aka Frogbeastegg. Definitely Britain first, then Crusader, then Eastern Europe, then eventually America. As for factions in the British campaign, I'm undecided, but very excited about playing as the Welsh, perhaps my favorite faction from VI. It's a toss-up whether I'll play as my ancestors the English, my ancestors the Scots, or my wannabe ancestors the Welsh first -- whatever I'm into at the time, I guess.

    I just found out about this new expansion by reading this post and it looks awesome.




    No doubt about it for me - Dark Ages Britain is my best friend!


    And as for north america, I'm not really interested in that either although I suppose I'd be willing to get a book on Cortes and his conquests and play the game along with that. Gotta have a companion book

    Do you think the Golden Rule should apply to masochists as well?
