Even then, the fun of experiencing Total War doesn't have to end there.


The collections of various campaigns and historical battles can easily take hours for the player to sift through on their way to ultimate victory. The dude who does the downloads here usually puts the link next to the link for hte installer & there'll be a guide for each of them 'cos each one's installation method is different & convoluted.Players have visited many different battlegrounds over the years with the Total War series. YMMV but it's worth lookingon the forum where the mod was originally hosted. Mods with full-on massive changes & different maps etc (Ancients, HTW, BKB etc etc) require a lot more fiddling about. PS: This'll work for a mod that doesn't mess too much with the core MTW concept. Just use the address of the modded copy of the game as the destination folder when hte mod wants to know where to install). Oh, I meant to say, if there's a patch (XL should have a patch, foir instance), then just perform the above steps then download & run the patch file in exactly the same way as above (apart from the "making another copy of the game" bit). To paly the normal unmodded game, just go through Steam. The installer should ask you to make a shortcut, click yes (maybe change its name to something apprpopriate if it's not already done that BUT MAKE SURE THE "TARGET" OF THE SHORTCUT IS POINTING AT YOUR SHINY NEW MODDED COPY, NOT THE ORIGINAL). Run the mod file when asked to select a destination folder DELETE the destination folder it auto-fills with & paste in the second address I asked you to copy earlier. This is the directory you have to get the mod installer to point at (it's where MTW lives under Steam).ĭownload a mod from the mod thread someone gave you the link for earlier. Then when it's finished copying, you'll have TWO copies of MTW installed the standard & the one we're gonna use for modding.Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mod\Total War Medieval 1 Gold Then click next it & make a folder called "Mod" copy the directory into it.

Paste the above address in your address bar.įind this folder: "Total War Medieval 1 Gold". So.Ĭhoose a mod (preferably one that has just one installer & maybe a patch rather than one of the super-convoluted ones).Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ This way'll let you play normal unmodded MTW & also a modded version.
