Sicily always annoys me that way. Every time I conquer the Med. coast. They seem to be gutsy that way.

Well there aren't any good mods out yet, because of M2's limited modding possiblilities. Only improved gameplay mods comes to my mind, like "Anno Domini", "Lands to Conquer". Though overall nothing spectacular.

But the good news is that yesterday community members released beta version tool for 3D model editing, finally the work can be started on large mods.

Yeah, hopefully this patch will fix major errors, like two handed weapon bug, shield bug, pikemen bug, shooting distance at fleeing enemies bug, cavalry bug + improve AI.

Isn't that too many? 9 infantry units ??? IMO the cavalry played big importance in Bulgarian warfare.

Not in the Second Bulgarian Empire.The cavalry was in small numbers.In fact bulgarians used mainly their heavy cavalry and hired mercenaries for light cavalry(cumans,tatars).So the infantry was the backbone of the army of SBE.

I enjoy Medieval 2, i wish the bloody Diplomacy was better though, like in knights of Honour. The Battles are fun and the new graphics are great im disappointed with the longbowmen though , and what the hell is with the Sherwood Archers ?? almost as bad as Roman War Dogs in RTW.

I wish that your country's elected pope can benefit your nation greatly, not just get very high respects. You should at least issue edicts. BTW I can't wait for M2TW: Kingdoms come out. You get to play as many great non-European nations in the Americas. Tlaxcala, Aztecs, Mayans, Apachis(I think that is how it is spelled) and I hope the Ojibwa peoples are in there too. I would love that because I am Ojibwa, the third largest nation above Mexico at one point.

Hey everyone,

Kingdoms expansion pack will probably come out in August or early Autumn.
It will feature 4 mini campaigns:
1 Spanish conquest of America.
2 British islands in viking age.
3 Crusades in Middle east.
4 Baltic crusades.

Other features:
23 playable factions including Aztec and Native Americans.
Over 150 new units, including the devastating Greek Firethrower
Control multiple armies in battle command reinforcement armies.
New hero characters with powerful new battlefield abilities
A huge array of historical characters and events.
Build permanent forts to garrison troops or seize control of key strategic points
New technology trees influenced by Religion and Prestige
New Mission types
6 New Multiplayer scenarios and 20 new Custom Battle maps
Compatible with the new Hotseat multiplayer mode


- Moats added around castles
- They also added "Special abilities" for the historical persons in the 4 campaigns: Richard I. can collect fleeing troups, Emperor Manuel of Byzanz can "confuse" enemy units, that they hit themself.
- The campaings have different targets and a different way of playing it. In the Eastern, the religion plays a big role (because of unrest and unit development -> u can only build teutonic knights in a catholic area) in the New world if you play the spanish have only few Units and you have to look for alliances and trading routes.
- More units on a battlefield.
- You can build Forts with water around it.... keep their position and which you also can conquer and use for urself.
- More + Different Mission Targets: A noble man apears and asks for your help in a combat. If you are successfull, your reward will depend to how you won (how many you killed).
- In the Britain Scenario you can make as enemy of England an alliance with renegate(?) english aristocrats. They ask for your help, to conquer a town. If you give them the town after the victory, they will found a new anti-english fraction "Allianz der Barone"!

All in all it's bovine stool.The ignorance of the authors is shocking,they have made SOFIA region(it was Serdica and in no way centre of all Moesia),when you take Constantinople you take all of Thrace...and of course they haven't included the second Bulgarian tzardomAngry

Plus it's an absolute copy of Rome total war with changed graphics.

O'realy? Are those versions released ? I've seen many efforts of Rome total war version( even zulu and Byzantium) but i had never seen any of them in the storesUnhappy.
 
It would be very difficult to add more fanctions though, the balance will be changed dramatically...i mean the regions... they should create new regions! Surely they should have put Bulgarians and Swiss too... The optimum would be a game similar to europa universalis(by the point of plurality), combined whith MTWII grafics and gameplayApprove...
 
About the byzantines... the soldiers of the early period wear short pants or is it only my idea?LOL! shame on them!I firstly created katafract units only after the discovering of AmericaWacko. No ,byzantines don't lack of late period's gunpowder, they totally lack of reliable units until 1300!Medieval total lack for the Byzantines (ok, they should be somehow eliminated until the discovering of America- by the Hungarians [not that much...] ,the Turks,the Venetians or the Mongolo-Timuridian circus) at least , let them die in dignity!
 
God bless the codes!Shocked

Athanasios Bulgarian Total war 2 is a mod for Medieval 2 and there are many other mods.Mods are made by volunteers,by ordinary guys from Internet that have some pc skills.Mods cant be find in store because they are free for use.You can download them from internet.Check Total War centre.

As for Bulgaria,BG Total war Team made a few new regions mainly on the Balkans.There are new regions all over the map.Bulgaria is the only new faction.The mod started in 1072 during the rebellion of George Voiteh.Most og the units are finished,the team must decide which new units to add,to made last changes of 3d models and textures.A new recruitment system is developing and most of the bugs are already fixed.
