vanilla MTW2

Ok so call me stupid as I am sure many of you will. But I Have no CLue what the Hell Vanilla total war is and i heard so much about it. Is it a mod for medieval 2 or something? If so then what does it change. Where can it be got. ect. Please help me here I need to know :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Vanilla is the game in its original state

......Orda

Lol.

Just to clarify further....:yes:

Vanilla= the game status right after installation

1. no patches or mods installed
2. no manual modifications to any game files


I guess then there will be Vanilla v1.1 postpatch etc...
