Does Kingdoms add anything to the Grand Campaign?

Topic changed to prevent confusion.

For the OP:
There is already a mod that allows some of the new Kingdoms features to be used in the normal Grand Campaign engine. I expect that many Grand Campaign mods will incorporate these in the future.

Which mod is that and does this mod require Kingdoms or can it just import all the relevant Kingdoms stuff into a non-kingdoms version of MTW2?

Cheers.

It is called Retrofit Mod and yes, it requires that you have Kingdoms.

Personally I am using the Retrofit mod for an HRE campaign and I am have the sweetest "vanilla" campaign to date (I say vanilla because while this is a mod, technically it changes nothing in the vanilla campaign other than the Kingdom additions listed above)...

I never said there was anything wrong with kingdoms. the individual mods are great. i was just expecting it to add something to the grand campaign that is all. and thought i had missed something... thanks for answering my question :)

I wish they could add those Castles from Britannia Campaign onto the main game, I think those ones look mint, They appear realistic unlike the ones we see in normal game, Which are pained blue for some odd reason..
