![]() ![]() Britannia is set in the thirteenth century, involving the large and powerful English trying to stay large and powerful in the face of the Irish, Scottish, Welsh and the Vikings. The four campaigns are: Britannia, The Teutonic, the Crusades and the Americas. To my eyes, it's the largest Total War expansion pack by far. Where it divorces from the other packs is that it's not one new campaign. This is entirely a compliment - there's still multiple factions inside each campaign to allow replaying. Or, put simply, it's easier to conquer England than Europe. While most expansion packs are only for the hardcore, Total War ones have often been more accessible due to the reduced scale and increased focus. It's similar in that the campaign it offers - like Rome's Alexander and Medieval 1's Viking Invasion - is a smaller thing than the grand campaign in the mother game. ![]() This is both an add-on pack that plays to the Total War traditions and something that stands separate from them. I've wasted happy days playing this, when the article's only abstractly a first look, so I'm in a bit of a rush to get this written because, firstly, I should be really doing something else and secondly I want to get back to finish off the Turks and start my plans for the invasion of Egypt. I kind of wanted to leave it like that, but that's being lazy, even for me. ![]()
