Mods to make the game historically accurate?

I'm tired of seeing my early medieval generals in 15th century plate armour.

If you want something historically accurate, TW isn't astonishingly good at that. The core game is about warring A LOT and having large-ish armies and large-ish empires.
This did not happen very often in Medieval times untill larger kingdoms started developing. If we wanted a histrocially accurate version of the game, the Byzantine and Muslim factions would murder most of Europe considering how divided it all would be at the start of the game.

Basically, if you want something mildly more realistic then go for Crusader Kings II and other Paradox Games.
If you want a game where you will fight a lot and be tactical, go for TW games.

I know that the concept of Total War campaigns is pretty absurd, but I want something that really only changes unit models to fit their time frame.

TW games are always just slightly off being historically accurate, often slightly off being realistic too. The dates of various scripted events are often off by quite a bit. For example Attila is scripted to die about 20 years before his historic death in Attila: Total War.

I mean in this game we got freaking Sherwood Archers and witches curses. The obsessed suitor retinue for princesses is a guy wearing a tux. Gunpowder weapons are all unlocked at once instead of being gradually improved. Scotish armies don't have long bows and their early troops are more inspired by Braveheart than history.

All that being said, Medieval 2 is one of the more accurate TW games. Actually it's surprising how accurate it is given how chaotic the time period is.

Go get Rome 1. At least, in that case, Rome conquering the world is accurate :P

Well...what they thought was the world and was in actuality...
a tiny itty bit of land. I want a mod or game where they figure this out and go take on the Monsoon marketplace regions and Iceland and Russia and (perhaps) further afield.

If it helps, you can conquer the Americas at turn 200 or so, however you need very good ships to cross the ocean (early ships can't cross deep water)

Well you can take a few little bits.
