How to change faction colours in the campaign map and other questions

[Masaniello]

Well, this thread sounds to me like "every thing I always wanted to know about MTW, but was afraid to ask": by reading the signalled post I could discover how many personalizazions it is possible to implement, including the addiction of new factions, resources or tradable goods.

You told me about a "VI" version. Unfortunately, my version seems to be an earlier one: the "Medieval.ver" file says me 1.00, the "version.inf" includes the following rows:
[Version Info]
ExtVersion=1.00
IntVersion=5.0
Language=16
Branch=0.0
QA=2738

I can't understand what MTW Redux may be, probably a later packaging of the product?
Concerning this, I could find both MTW Gold Edition and MTW Viking invasion on Amazon.com; someone of you knows which is the former and wich the later?

Anyway, I'll contact Axalon and ask him more explanation on this topic.

You gave me a big help drone, I thank you again , but please don't forget to refer to me any addictional information you could encounter in the immediate future.

MTW Redux is a mod that Axalon created, it's hosted here at the Org.

MTW Gold is a combined pack (both MTW and VI together), Viking Invasion is just the separate expansion, the original game (which you have) is necessary. The VI expansion is worth it, the engine and AI is improved and it opened up the modding options. There is a surprising amount of modding flexibility with the game, both with little gameplay tweaks and full conversion mods.

Also, you might want to patch your installation, CA released a v1.1 patch for the original game. If you do get the VI expansion, there is a patch for that as well that gets you to the final rev v2.01 (the patch file you need for this depends on whether you get the Gold version or the separate expansion). You can find the patches on our host here, they are very hard to find on CA's website. You want the one named "MTW_v1.1_US_Euro_RELEASE.zip" to update MTW to v1.1.
