When playing the campaign the whole time I was looking forward to going to the Americas but once I did there wasn't really anything special. I think the
development of the Aztecs could've been a little deeper. I hope Kingdoms gets it right.

A let down yes, but still a little fun.

yeah, it's a let down for sure, it looks interesting, but by the time you can get there, you're rolling 5 full stack armies of your most elite troops
and there isn't much of a challenge from the natives. And it seems as if there is never competition from other factions when you go over there, it would
be interesting if an AI opponent could be allies with the Americas faction and you could face a hybrid army of the two...

In my opinion the addition of the New World was kind of an afterthought by CA in order to differentiate this title from MTW more. I think it was a welcome
addition but as you say, nothing that can't be improved.

I think it was more likely a teaser to Kingdoms which, you can bet, was in planning stages before M2TW was finished.

or like exactly what the game is advertised: " the discovery and conquest of the Americas." Technically, the game accomplished just that.

can go to Europe too.

I really think that it should be just a taste given that it is MEDIEVAL total war. I think that what they have is fine, but they should have added Newfoundland
in addition to brazil, florida and Mexico.

Yup, was disapointing to get there, only to find a few rebel towns. I was expecting the Aztecs to be a proper faction at least......

Y`know, in a year or more of playing MTW2 I`ve yet to see America. I always quit once I`ve conquered Europe and even by then the Americas haven`t shown up. I`m
gonna start a new Campaign with the sole purpose of discovering that strange land...

I was very disapointed to see trailer homes and pink flamingos in the yard when I showed up in florida. I wanted gold, not flamingos :(

haha yes my plan for invading the americas is to eliminate the aztecs and establish over atalantic trade with the gold chocolate tobacco and other goods really
brings my kingdom alot of wealth and makes it possible for me to conquer alot more territory

Not as fun as watching my Spanish Gendarmes run through those stacks. All those poor fellas with funny looking head gear flying up into the sky........ Now if
only I can get a general named Cortez........

I got to the new world with 4 factions and every time ALL settlements were just rebel towns.

Why can't we go there early with resultant potential naval losses, I mean if the vikings did or theoretically could why not us ???

yeah, same here Manbearpigrawr. I was like, how is that not locked?? Ok, anyways, OT:
I got the game not too long ago, and just finished my first campaign with Scottland(freaking fun, btw), but I am not really looking forward to the new world. I guess I stopped caring about that after playing the Age of Empire's games forever. |

It should not have been there. The Middle Ages ended in 1453 after the fall of Constantinople. |
