I prefer to see factions related to empires, kingdoms, duchies, counties, principalities, caliphates, etc. For the high and late Medieval this would be the correct and correct option 2. I think that the game should start from the High Medieval period, that is, it should already be 'kingdoms'.
There are twenty-two factions in Medieval II: Total War. In the Grand Campaign game seventeen factions are playable. Of these, only England, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, and Venice are available from outset. The other playable factions may be unlocked all at once by winning a campaign (short or long) as one of the five initially.

For players new to Total War

What exactly is the Total War series?: The immensely popular series began with Shogun: Total War. After that was released Medieval: Total War, then Rome: Total War. After almost seven years in development, the current iteration is Medieval II: Total War.
How is the game played?: It is classified as an historic Real-Time Strategy game (RTS). You control your armies and your cities instead of playing through levels and shooting people down yourself. This type of game genre really allows for great amounts of strategic planning.
What is the campaign map?: The campaign map is almost a game in itself. It allows you to administrate settlements, armies, and conduct diplomacy between factions. In M2:TW, there are a great wealth of new features compared to the earlier games, from minor interface changes, to the large addition of papal elections and cardinals. This is likely to continue and be developed further for the new expansion.
What is the battle map?: When you attack or defend against an enemy army, you may choose to fight the battle yourself, controlling your army, against the foe[s]. This is where the graphics and most of the gameplay really shine. It is another “plane”, and you must use strategy to overcome your opponents.
