Well done Creative Assembly!

Dear All:

Good afternoon from Canada!! I hope this finds you and yours well. As for me, I could complain...yadda, yadda, yadda.

Yet, there's no way on this green Earth I can complain about Kingdoms! I love the way it has the world divided up into nice manageable chunks, so to speak. The furthest north you can get in the Crusades is the Byzantine Empire. It's well worth the money I paid for it, not to mention the one day wait I had for my games shop had shipping problems.

Now, do any of you guys know how far south the Britannia Campaign goes? I mean, France has got figure in there somewhere!!!

Live long and prosper, take care and thank you kindly!!!!

Sincerely yours always,

Indy.

Well said OP! I considered opening a thread like this, but now I don't need to ^^ Kingdoms is definatly the BEST expansion pack I've *ever* bought, and it's completely awesome. I love the tweaks between the different campaigns, and for the first time, NORWAY is in as a faction! (not just "vikings" or "norse", actually Norway!)

GREAT work CA, keep it up!

[Gaius Terentius Varro]

Thank you for the America's campaign which is really brilliant. Blown away by the great music (doing my little wardance on loading screens), the feel of it and love the Apache tech tree progression cos it's so not like the way I want things but ack can't stop playing it.

[Cadwallon]

I'm playing the America's campaign as the Apachean - and while I'm building up momentum, I've been involved in a knockdown dragout fight for 40 turns with those damn Chichimecs! While I have also been fighting the French to the North East, I'm finding it extremely challenging.

Now that I have thunder braves and mouned apaches its become easier - but on VH/VH its been the best game I've had in ages. The balance and AI do seem to be better than in the Grand Campaign.

So I'm waiting to play the other campaigns - but overall a big for Kingdoms.

[Nikos_Rouvelas]

I agree. CA have really outdone themselves . I mean its like FOUR new games for just 30$!! The music and visuals make you feel as if you are actually there. kudos to CA.

[Gaius Terentius Varro]

I am gonna bump this one since I have written loads of bad things about CA over the years

France does not figure into the Brittannia Campaign at all. I think at that time , the King was struggling just to hold onto his country. Also I think that is around the time of the Second Crusade, but I could be mistaken.

Why would France figure in a campaign set during the reign of Henry III? What possible justification could there be for that?

Henry's father presided over the loss of England's French territories and France's only involvement in the baron's war was Louis acting as arbiter between the two sides. Including Norway as a full faction was dubious enough but adding France would be ludicrous.

Unless you're getting mixed up between Henry III and Edward III?

Could be all those numerals at the end of those King's names! It's easy enough to do.

The worst had to be the King of Jeruselum, too many Baldwins for me.

No, worst has to go to either France or Venice.

France get on the list for calling all their kings Louis, apart from the Henri once a century or so.

Venice weren't normally that bad but get an honourable mention for the Mocenigo family. One generation had no less than nine brothers, all called Alvise. One of them became Doge and had six sons, who all got called - you guessed it - Alvise.....

Speaking of Chester (which my troops just sacked) :

Sounds like George Forman naming all his sons George.

Must have been hard at family gatherings when you ask for Alvise to pass the potatoes. I can imagine them all using the DeNiro line from Taxi "You talkin' to me?"
