Question about Kingdoms

[Bizzair]

I have a question about the campaigns,

have played 2 turns into the Brittania one, and whats so special about this game? I thought in the campaigns you were going to have specific missions, and like, kind of a story line thing.

So are the new campaigns just like normal.. build crap conquer everything way, I was looking forward to having mini missions and storylines in each campaign with different factions.

or is it just like MTW:2 but shrunk down into one little area?

Also if I play the normal MTW:2 now will it have all these regions extra, or just be normal map again?

They added a number of new factions and new units, as well as some new features (some of them unique for a certain campaign), like stone forts, heroes, boiling oil, etc. They also rebalanced the units.

They made no radical changes, but IMO it is a great expansion. A bit buggy, though

Also if I play the normal MTW:2 now will it have all these regions extra, or just be normal map again?

Just a normal map, like it was before you installed kingdoms.

Please edit your posts instead of double posting please.

so its just, kinda like 4 mini mods,

with new factions, new units etc?

hmm.. I was hoping for little missions and story lines in the campaigns,

Cudnt someone just do this with a mod then? I feel like I just payed money for a mod.. I dont find any real difference except more focused on one part of the map.

Kida disappointed

Sorry for double posting, kinda continued my rant! lol

and also starting to enjoy it a bit more, but can someone fill me in with the new details of the game?

Every time I start a new campaign I see these random forts in the middle of my land? what is this..

and whats these new features, heroes? and etc.

Thansk guys!

Every faction (except for maybe the Irish?) get a hero with a big army at some point. Scotland gets William Wallace. Norway gets king Haakon. England gets an army when their king returns from a crusade (a scripted one). Wales get reinforcements when they take towns or certain towns are taken from them. The new campaigns in Kingdoms have a lot more scripted stuff into them.
In Britannia you also get culture (renamed religion) which basically doesn't let you recruite your best units unless a region is very dominant in your culture. If other cultures are very dominant you can recruit some units from that culture.
The only other major thing I can think of is the Baron's Alliance for the English. At certain points in time a rebellion will take place by this alliance in unhappy English settlements.
