    Default I still haven't played Kingdoms

    I feel so behind. I remember buying M2TW the second it came out and I was in love with it.

    However I never got around to playing Kingdoms, what have I missed out on? Nevermind Kingdoms, I haven't touched a single mod for M2TW. I need to catch up QUICKLY.

    Well, a great way to experience Kingdoms AND your first mod would be to use.......the Kingdoms Grand Campaign mod!

    I'm currently running Kingdoms + Stainless Steel 6.4. Loving it. You might want to check out what they have planed for SS 7.0. It's like a whole new (better) game.

    Does everyone here duplicate multiple directories so they can switch between mods easier or do you guys just uninstall and reinstall as and when needed?

    Also, what is Stainless Steel about?

    Stainless Steel is based on what vanilla is based on. Just with much better graphics, gameplay, and units/factions

    You can check Stainless Steel 6.4 here. There's an intro video and all there, along with details and download links.

    Also, if interested, The main SS subforum is here.

    Most Kingdoms mods are mod foldered, so you can have jillions of mods installed at the same time

    Hahahaha @ "jillions"


    Thanks for that guys. Is there a mod considered the number one mod for Medieval 2?

    Oh, doubtful there's really a solid No. 1 out there because so many of them are good. Third Age and Warhammer are great total conversion fantasy mods. Kingdoms Grand Campaign is a "minimal" modification to the core game that adds most of the new faction from Kingdoms into the vanilla Grand Campaign (albeit with a bigger map, better AI, etc.). Stainless Steel and Deus Lo Vult are good for added historical accuracy and RPG elements. Rusichi is a good mod focusing on Eastern European factions. DarthMod adds great AI. You'll probably have to look through them yourself to find the ones you like

    Ok, besides the mods that you will be able to play with Kingdoms, the 4 campaigns they offer are also very very interesting. All of them. You will play with the Mighty OP Teutonic Order, you will use Greek fire, You will have amazing battles at Britannia and you will fight Hordes of native Americans with your 300 conquistadores.

    to be honest, i hae played them once and then forget about them. not because they are bad, but because other games came out (i only got medievall II relativly late), and i always say to myself: "ok, i fancy some Medievall II+ kingdoms", but when i am on my way to put in the disc, i always change my mind, and went for AC, or empire and napoleon, or other games.

    They are tremendous fun though. the teutonic one is very good, really enyod it with denmark. Brittania was also fun (although i still dont understand how to play noray since your bankrupt after 2 turns), crusades and america werent that much fun in my opinion.

    but still one of the best expansion packs (especially compared with warpath)

    I can't even guess how many campaigns I've played, vanilla and modded, and even though I had Kingdoms I had never played any of them. Thought I wasn't going to be interested in the 'smaller scale'. But I started a Brittania campaign just recently and it IS fun. And c'mon, Greek fire? I'll have to try that!
