Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms is the expansion to the 2006 turn-based strategy PC game Medieval II: Total War. It was developed by Creative Assembly. The expansion was released on 28 August 2007 in North America and has four new campaigns: the first wave of European colonization of the Americas, the series of wars (including the Welsh Conquest, the Irish Invasion, the Scottish-Norwegian War, the Scottish Independence War and the Barons' Rebellion) fought on British Isles during the 13th century, the Third and Fourth Crusades, and the Northern Crusades.

Kingdoms has 4 new campaigns, each one focusing on a different geographical area. Each new campaign must be individually installed and the entire expansion pack takes up around 4GB of hard drive space. The non-playable campaign factions are playable in a quick battle or a custom battle.

Beginning in 1521, the early period of Age of Navigation which the European powers sought for new land under the thirst of colonisation. The Spanish must struggle to explore an unknown land filled with violent natives, while the Native Americans attempt to stall foreign invasion and simultaneously expand their lands at the expense of their neighbors.

This campaign implements various conquistador armies that went to the New World by spawning large, formidable armies in the Americas with allegiance to New Spain. Once spawned, the New Spain faction can use these armies however they see fit. French and English forces will show up in the same way: the French appears in Louisiana and the English in Honduras.
