Getting Started

How to Install Medieval II: Total War patch 1.2 and use the unpacker

    Primo made a guide to installing patch 1.2 and using the unpacker.

Vista and the VirtualStore

    Gaius Colinius had the dubious pleasure of using Vista and thanks to Foamy, he was able to get around the problems caused by the Medieval 2: Total War unpacker sending the unpacked files into a hidden folder, known as the "Virtual Store".

Units

A guide to the export_descr_units.txt file

    Mythic Commodore takes us through the export_descr_units.txt (EDU) file.

How to make new units

    As a follow up to his previous article on the export_descr_units.txt file (EDU) Mythic Commodore now shows us how to create new units. It's very detailed and yet very readable. All wannabe modders need to stop by here!

Buildings

    Mythic Commodore takes us through the export_descr_buildings.txt (EDB) file.
