I have been modding and testing my mod to the full version of of Medieval Total War.
This mod bumps the tech tree up for everyone so that you don't spend 50 years getting your cash and tech ready.
I find this mod more fun than the actual campaign because it is more historically accurate but primarily because there is much more fighting at the early part of the game opposed to the late game when there are only a few factions and armies too big to control well(for me anyhow).
It should be done by Tuesday or Wednesday, here is a brief summary of changes, there are many more but this is already too long a topic for me.
The Danes now expand and build a navy.
The Argonese now survive by also building a Navy and expanding.
The Territories of the Turks and Byzantium is as historically correct as I could make them.
The Elmohads horde is now usually able to be kept in check by the Spanish and Egyptians.
Gaul is now divided "more" historically correct and the English only control Normandy(like they should).
Scotland and a few other States are now more prone to rebellion.
All the factions start off making at least 500 florins a year, the ones making more florins have more borders to compensate.
With the bumped up tech tree you are able to lauch a crusade at the time period of the real 1st crusade.

Can you explain how you plan to implement these changes?
Such as making certain countries more likely to rebel and making Denmark more likely to expand?

When will it be coming out? I can't wait http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif Perhaps you'd be interested in some more historically names for the campaigns - I made a mod that gives the British and some other countries (French/Scottish) more names/historically accurate titles - its description is in another thread on this board.

Thats exactly how I changed the Danes and Arganese. I see that I don't check the threads for a few days and everything I discovered by myself others discovered and posted, which I had checked in though then I would have this mod done already.
But just remeber this won't be anywhere near as good as the path to dark ages mod and other mods.
Maybe I should enable the foot knights too, GAH already done in this forum too.

What territories did you give the Byzants? I know they have too many in Asia Minor, but they should have the Crimea. That had been a longtime Greek/Roman/Byzantine possession.

I gave the Byzantines Greece, Bulgaria, Constantinople, Trebizond, Cyprus, Crete, Rodes and Crimea. They also start off with a few ships too.
I wish I could add in a few new minor factions because then I could create all the seperate arab states, along with things like the Kingdom of Georgia.
Wish there was a way to have vassal states pay tribute and let you cross over there land or something though.
And this site is great for maps: http://www.euratlas.com/summary.htm
