Medieval Kingdoms Total War: Kingdom of England
Kingdom of England:
At the turn of the 13th century, the Kingdom of England ruled more lands in France than the Kingdom of France. In the space of a decade, most of those lands have been lost under the inept reign of the latest King of England's Angevin Dynasty, John I. John has turned out to be barely a shadow of the warrior-king that his older brother, Richard the Lionhearted, was. Thanks to a disastrous ongoing war with France that broke out at the start of his reign, Normandy, Brittany and Anjou were all taken by the French. Only Aquitaine, which became an English dominion from John's mother Eleanor, remains an English enclave.
But all is not lost yet. The King of France, Philip II Augustus, has become too ambitious for his own good. Countess Joan of Flanders, a vassal of his, was alienated by Philip's confiscation of cities in Flanders, and has rebelled against Philip's rule. She has put together a powerful alliance against France, with England and the Holy Roman Empire joining it. Friends such as these will surely aid England in reclaiming its lost territory from the powerful French forces. The Celtic kingdoms of Britannia are also prime targets for expansion, and should be dealt with before any of them can become too powerful to threaten the English heartland.
England boasts a very robust feudal army, with its powerful knighthood descending from the incomparable Norman knights who conquered the country over a century ago. They do not, however, have the wild abandon or ferocity of their French counterparts. However,infantrymen have begun to play a larger role in English armies, with a growing interest in producing powerful archers and stronger commoner levies. These commoners may yet prove to be a match for the powerful French knights. If this turns out to be the case, England will find itself with a powerful advantage against its rival across the Channel.
Much has been lost for England since the height of its power, but with expert generalship and careful management of allies and enemies, its best days may yet lie ahead of it.
Note that the units there look drastically different from how you saw them in the Earldoms trailer so please check them out!

The English Earldoms:
The English Earldoms are a singular faction that will own a significant part of your domain, but are your vassals and supply you with troops and income in times of war. They're units are largely the same but they get their own versions of the Royal English serjeant units and are slightly cheaper in cost and upkeep. You can check out the screenshots of the Earldom versions of those units in these imgur album links below:

Now some of the campaign stuff is more WIP than the units but I still feel like it's coming a long nicely, stay tuned in the near future for the French factions! (On my end anyway, Ltd. might end up doing other factions in the mean time.)

Are the Earldom Imgur links working okay? I just want to be sure since it's not counting them as true links.
