MTW MedMod download from where?

**Nagnar** · 11-27-2012, 05:17

I had a look at the description for it, the changes look pretty great!

Unfortunately i don't have VI so i can't play it (Got MTW way back for Christmas and only unearthed it this year when looking for games)
So i can only play Redux and older MedMod.

Does anyone know where i could get VI (for all the mod variety) and if it is worth it?

Definitely worth it, the expansion improved both the game and moddability. You can get it pretty cheap on Amazon, I guess it depends on where you are from. In the US, you can get it here. If you get the expansion, make sure you get the final 2.01 patch, which you can get here.

Unfortunately i live in Australia so that is out of the question based on those prices.

MTW Gold Ed. costs around $10 here in Poland (mint PC Gamer 2006 version). If you add $5 for shipping it can be yours

. You can find a lot of them on ebay too.

Have a look at amazon UK - don't buy from the US as old games go up in price there rather than down:

I thought I read somewhere that the 2.01 was only needed for some very specific uses and not needed for most people? Pretty sure I'm using 2.0 so if I'm wrong, guess I'll have to download it for the next game.

Patch notes:

Patch for the Medieval: Total War expansion pack Viking Invasion, updating it to version 2.01.
General Fixes
-------------
- Fixed a bug where cavalry would receive a charge bonus ad infinitum under certain circumstances.
- Removed a command line cheat that would unlock the camera giving an unfair advantage on the battlefield.

Singleplayer Fixes
------------------
- Reinforcements in campaign battles now appear in the order selected in the pre-battle screen.
- Kings will no longer die of old age at exactly 56 years.

Multiplayer Fixes
-----------------
- All multiplayer players will now appear in the Medieval: Total War chat room and can talk to one another. Please note that Medieval: Total War games will not show up for Viking Invasion players and vice versa.
- The occasional crash/lockup bug when a player quits from a multiplayer game has been eradicated.

Savegame formats are not affected.

You need v2.01, whether you need to download a patch is another matter - I bought my VI when it was released and my VI disc is already v2.01

I know that there were some Gold Editions which were released at v2.0 by mistake. If you have one of those then you need the v2.01 Medieval_TW.exe in a .zip which was released as a patch by SEGA/CA a few years ago.

I do have one with 2.0 (lucky me!). Not sure where I got the idea that 2.01 wasn't needed - thought it only fixed MP problems or something. Anyway, I already have the download - just never applied it. Not sure I like that order thing. As it is, they come in a logical manner mostly dictated by speed. Although this way, I can kind of sort of keep the second army(ies) intact - too bad they can't arrive on the flank or on the same side of the river.

You need 2.01 as without it your kings will die at 56, every time, without fail and your reinforcements will not come on in the order you select in the pre-battle screen (though I consider the pre-battle screen itself an abomination which should never have been included (AI can't use it, so it gives a very unfair advantage to the player)).

Im looking to play the older MedMods, is there a version of v2 that includes modified unit prod files to the extent that v1 did?
Otherwise am i better off just playing v1 on MTW v1.1?

There are several older versions of MedMod on our host's site, several of them in this list here. Maybe MedMod_2.04 for MTW_VI v2.0.zip is what you are looking for?
