Maybe i'm missing something...

We all now know 1.3 is a compatability patch so gamers with the orignal can play those with the expansion. Now kingdoms has undergone massive balance changes, and since mtw2 hasn't doesn't this mean that there will be serious balance issues when using expansion factions against original ones?

No, that is the point to the patch. Altering stats and changing the game so that all units work correctly is a good thing. CA might get it wrong in the execution , but the principle is fine.

Okay you clearly mistook this for a rank so to clarify:

If Kingdom units are balanced differently to vanilla ones, in order for the exp and vanilla factions to fight each other fairly they would need to change the vanilla stats. Yet they have stated they have not touched vanilla.

So what does this compatability patch actually do.

I don't think you will be able to play with Kingdoms units and factions against those of Vanilla M2TW.
