Aztec Invasion Mod

Aztec Invasion Mod
For Medieval 2 Total War v1.0
Download size: approx. 26K


What the mod does
Simply, makes the Aztecs a playable faction, gives them the means to cross the Atlantic and cleans up some now-redundant scripting.

DOWNLOAD

Thanks to repman's post here identifying the 'undiscovered parameter and the community's tutorials here - we've now been able to make a mod that allows the Aztecs to invade the Old World.

Installation instructions
Take the descr_strat.txt, campaign_script.txt and descr_mercenaries.txt files from the zipped folder and use them to overwrite the existing versions in your Medieval 2 Total War/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign folder.

NB Make a copy of the original versions of these files first as backups!

NB2 You may have to remove the write-protection on the original files. Do this by right-clicking on them, clicking Properties and then deselecting the Read-only attribute.


How it works in the game

The Aztecs now appear on the Select Faction screen. Lots of the description stuff is missing - but we'll have to wait for an unpacker to fix that.

The Aztec field armies start off near the beach where ships can be boarded and now ocean-going Carrack ships are available as mercenaries.

Hire a few Carracks and set sail

A long journey to the Old World and there's some unpleasant weather en route

Finally land in a wintry land filled with strange people speaking a foreign tongue

Let the Aztec Invasion begin!

The Aztec Empire has a new outpost - and in an even more bizarre turn of fate, some of your own warriors have rebelled and now defend these savages of the eastern isles.

A few gameplay notes
1) Don't upgrade your cities back in Mexico as you'll lose your recruitment options.
2) The carracks will refresh but not for a long while so take good care of them.
3) Despite your funds and secure home base - performing a one faction invasion of the entire of Europe with stretched supply lines and extremely limited building options is still going to be a challenge!

I thought that was going to be Medieval : Total War II - The Barbaric Mongolic Viking Invasion (with extra Aztecs)?

Hi E.R.,

Can I make the Aztecx, Mongols, Timurids, blah playable without any mod?

Hellas1-Thank you sir!

No - that's why I made a mod to make the Aztecs playable.

That's pretty nice. Good work.

If you still want to play them Hellas the only mod that makes them playable at this time is here - https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=72517 - version 1.7 is quite playable and 1.8 is coming soon with more fixes and tunes.

Btw - besides the Aztecs - they can be made playable on the same map - but i bet even CA does not fully know about this workarounds ;) Anyway it will be interesting if you would you like to join forces with us and mix or minimods? Me and Spartan will feel honored - we also have the Aztecs doing the same as yours but we decided the boats to be expensive as hell and we added some rebel aztec armies to create more problems at the start. (*because many of the aztec troops don't have upkeep costs).

When you play as any of the European factions you don't know of America so can't it be that the whole of Europe is blacked out?

Sure, you just need to change your map_fog.tga file

is there another place or person i can download this from? the download link doesnt work because of the bandwidth limit.

I'm afraid not at this time. Hopefully the download link will be up soon.

how do i give the aztecs roads and such?

if I play as england, france, spain, will the aztecs come to me (still invade that is)?

Sweet. Despite the difficulties this is great. I just hope I can hire some horses sometime soon. Oh well, at least they know how to execute battle prisoners in style!

Hope the Europeans are watching out for the Western Horde. Now if I just had a spy to use as a plague carrier...

ive put my aztec family members in england and for some reason they no longer marry or have kids ive converted all the places i took over to pagan
