Help.How to unlock Novgorod in early age?

By the way, here is the link to download the full version of the XL Mod. It's big, so I let it download overnight:LINK

Here's a link to the XL Mod discussion thread here: LINK

It DOES require the VI expansion and the latest patch. Hope that's not a problem.

Thanks Aurelian for such helpful information! Thanks indeed dude! Now I'll wage total war in the east!

You're welcome!

In the XL Mod you can actually play as the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

After you run through that mod for a while, there are a few other really good ones out there. I'm playing the "Fall of Rome" mod at the moment, and I'm having a blast with it. "Hellenic Total War" was great fun, and I particularly liked the historical battles. The latest version of the BKB Super Mod should also be coming out soon. I haven't played it yet because I've been waiting for the newest version, but it also has a new map and additional factions. A lot of people swear by the MedMod, which may or may not have a new version coming out sometime in the future.

They all have threads in the "Engineers Guild" here.

Lots of good, high-quality mods. Enjoy!
