Spring RTS Engine

SO, I finally have a rig powerful enough to run Medieval 2 (I know, I'm a few years behind )

My question to those who played this beast is what mods should I be downloading?

My primary concern is to get the best AI Mod possible, because the default AI is terrible and has a retarded function that causes factions to randomly declare war on the player on hard & V. hard difficulties.

My first ports of call for total conversions are the Lord of the Rings & Game of Throne mods, other than that I know nothing of the mod scene..

There was a Legend of Zelda mod that looks pretty promising.

Just found out about it a couple weeks ago. Haven't had the time to try it out but it looks awesome aside from the number of super-giant units which I've never really been fond of (just because they are so clunky on the battlefield)

About 80% of my total playtime from Medieval 2 has come from the Third Age mod... kind of a testament to how good it is. Although there are a few flaws, like the game cheating in full stack armies when you're about to take a city (the worst imo). But at least allies don't stab you in the back.

Depends on what your looking for rly, id sugest getting kingdoms expantion, take your time looking trou TW center.

id sugest Deus Lo Vult

Broken crescent etc..

Also if you have Rome total war check the new mods out, theres lots of activity

Roma surrectum II has Medieval II battle grafics and stuff, and it is more hardware demanding than medieval II vanila.

A personal preference for East of Rome, not released, i worked with them ;/

Just browse the TW center, youll find a lot of epicness in there.

I have the expansion
