Medieval Total War : Mods Thread (UPDATED 01/01//2018)

[Clem]

Hey guys,

I am listing here big mods still available and working for the Steam version of the game. I tested all of them myself to be sure.
Be advised, mods overrun vanilla game files so if you want to uninstall a mod and play the vanilla game again, you'll have to delete the game from steam and delete the "Total war medieval 1 gold" folder in the steam folder manually, then reinstall the game.

BE ADVISED, YOU'LL NEED TO CHANGE INSTALLATION FOLDERS WHEN USING EXE TO POINT AT THE STEAM FOLDER OF MTW.

- Redux mod :

Developped by Axalon, it offers a campaign spanning from 700 to 1260 AD with 11 factions playable, challenging AI, new campaign map textures (splendid) and new units.

First download and install the Redux Beta 1007 :

Intallation is all about copy/pasting files into the game folder, see the README.txt for more infos.

How do I install the MTW XL mod in using the Steam version of Medieval Total War I VH?

When using the self-extracting EXE, point the installer at:

NAME_OF_YOUR_HARD_DISK:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Total war medieval 1 Gold\

That simple.

[Anon]

Top notch community service Leviath, not least for the up to date download links, many thanks!

[cacatmurat]

Anyone got any idea how to get BKB to work?

Heard there is supposed to be a readme file you need, but there is none in the zip.

[mjdaniels19]

Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm wondering exactly how do I change the installation folders when using exe to point at the steam folder of mtw? I'm not totally certain what this means or how to do it. Specifically, I'm interesting in getting the XL Mod and the Ancient Mod to work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The installation path you need to point the installer at for the Steam version of the game is something like "[your hard disk]:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Medieval Total War Gold" (precise wording may be different, open up the steamapps folder & take a look for specific spelling). The opening post has this in bold as all mods were made pre-Steam, so by default they will not know where to look for the "medieval_TW.exe" file that runs the game.

In the "steamapps" folder you'll find the "medieval_TW.exe" file that runs the game. Then, after you have installed the mod to the Medieval directory inside the steamapps folder, you'll need to make a shortcut on the Windows desktop pointing directly to the EXE file in that folder (i.e. DO NOT try to run the game through Steam, simply click on your new shortcut which will by-pass the Steam settings & make the game run as if it's the old version using your mod, without the useless Steam launcher getting in the way & trying to force weird configuration things on you).

To get two different mods to work, **BEFORE INSTALLING THE FIRST MOD**, I'd suggest copying the entire "Medieval Whatever It's Called" folder out of "steamapps" & putting this new copy in something like "C:\games\clean copy of medieval".

When you install the second mod, you can just point the installer for THAT mod at the new copy you've made (i.e. second install path would be "C:\games\clean copy of medieval" or whatever). Once you have done this, you'll have to make a shortcut on your Windows desktop that points to the EXE in THIS folder (i.e. "C:\games\clean copy of medieval\medieval_TW.exe"). Rename your shortcut to the name of the mod which is installed on that path.

ONE PROVISO: This is what we used to do back in the day (before steam) to get two different mods running of Medieval Total War. It might be worth trying, after you've copied the original medieval folder out of "steamapps", to try to run the game to make sure the copy works. To do this, navigate to the main folder of the copy you've just made (i.e. "clean copy of medieval" or whatever) & double-click on the medieval_TW.exe file, just to make sure it runs. If it does, proceed as I suggested above.

Hope this helps!

I would like to test the Samurai Warlords beta 8 - Shogun mod for MTW/VI -with the sound add-on. All the download link to this mod seem death on totalwar.org and twcenter.net -any of you with a working link? Was great many years ago...

[Gwaine the Hunter]

Leviath, the BKB Super Mod link is deleted. Could you upload it on Dropbox or Drive if you have it? Also thanks for the compilation a lot, it's a true help for the community.

[Clem]

I have links for both the BKB and Samurai Warlords 8 mods, i'll upload it asap.

[Clem]

As requested, I re-uploaded BKB. I also added Samurai Warlords 8 and the link for the most recent version of Ancient TW.

[Clem]

And since I am a kind man, I also updated the Redux Mod with the 1006 version. I added the Hellenistic TW mod and I also added a great surprise : a BRAND NEW mod set in the Game of Thrones universe by Macsen Rufus ! ENJOY !
