There are two factions; the Parliamentarians and the Royalists. The map is detailed and accurate for the time period. There are twelve historical commanders fighting on each side, and all of them have custom portraits and traits. Both sides have a range of units from Musketeers to pikemen, dragoons to harqebusier cavalry. Each faction also has 6 unique recruitable regiments of foot. Each regiment has its own banner, coat colour and commander.

The purpose of the mod is to simulate the first English civil war. The main aim is to accurately represent the two main factions, their leaders, their commanders and their armies. The mod aims to provide a unique battlefield experience by representing 17th century warfare, something that no M2:TW mod team has so far achieved.
 
 
 
The campaign map is unique in that rather than having 'regions' or 'provinces' there are historically accurate counties. Unfortunately the castle of Caernarfon has been placed incorrectly on the north side of the isle of anglesey, one of the few minor mistakes made with the mod. Each county has a single settlement. Faction generals are accurately placed according to their historical location in 1642 and represented with custom portraits and regiments

Overview

For King or Country is a modification for Medieval II: Total War that focuses on the English Civil War between the Parliamentarians and the Royalists. This modification is concerned heavily with historical accuracy, with faction generals being accurately positioned based on their location in 1642 represented with custom portraits and regiments.

Features

The campaign map runs on a twelve turns per year basis, as the English Civil War was historically rather short. The religion mechanic on the campaign has been replaced by a 'support' mechanism, as both of the factions in the Civil War were Protestant. Instead, support for either the King or the Parliament is measured and this can be influenced either way by the use of buildings that replace the religious buildings of the original campaign.

Each faction begins the game with twelve unique and historically accurate commanders, including Sir Thomas, Lord Fairfax, Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex for the Parliamentarians and King Charles I, Prince Rupert of the Rhine for the Royalists. There are also over fifty historical events that will occur over the course of the war.

Both factions have their own rosters, with access to fairly similar assortments of pikemen, musketeers, cavalry and artillery.
