Kingdoms vs MD2

**jsalit** · September 20, 2008, 02:47 PM

I am just kind of wondering which you guys prefer and why. Medieval 2 kingdoms or medieval 2 without kingdoms.

With because I finally get to use gunpowder without waiting for 50 billion years to go past!

Kingdoms for sure! It's much more fun plus if you wanna play the grand campaign again just download a mod (SS6 or Retrofit) and you can play the grand campaign with all the new kingdoms features.

Yes, i like the Grand campaign better then the kingdoms campaigns, but in kingdoms everything looks better, so i use the

retrofit mod

along with the crimson tide mod. So everybody should say kingdoms, really

i didnt rly get hooked on the kingdoms campaigns, but it allowed me to paly SS which is great

Ya, i would like to get some of those mods. Which website do you recommend that will not give you any kind of virus or whatever and has popular mods? The ones you guys mentioned sounded pretty good.

jsalit,

blashger has it right: The retrofit mod gives you Kingdoms units and upgrades within the M2TW framework.

I am finding I like Kingdoms for several reasons, the biggest of which is that a well executed long campaign is about 40 turns for Kingdoms, instead of about 100 for M2TW.

Oh, by the way: Welcome to the forums!

Whaa.... Im on turn 120 or so in my Tuton campaign as Denmark, then again I enjoy campaigns that take a long time. Just out of curiosity how do you manage to get all the top tech buildings for all the best units in 40 turns? Or do you just make due with what you have?

I don't. I win with my inferior units against their inferior units. In M2TW (vanilla 1.2), I typically win before gun powder or other late units can affect the outcome.

Vanilla is good, Kingdoms on its own are good too. But nothing beats the mighty SS!

**jsalit** · September 23, 2008, 03:52 PM

What exactly does this retrofit mod do? Are you using kingdoms or M2TW?

The Kingdoms Grand Campaign mod adds just about all the Kingdoms factions to the vanilla GC. You need Kingdoms to run it though.

Anyhow, I found the Americas campaign extremely fun and refreshing. Lasted me a long time.

**Drox** · September 24, 2008, 09:38 AM

The Custom campaign mod is also nice, however my only grip with it is that unit upkeep is so cheep that any sort of financial aspect to the game is taken care of for you pretty much.
