what is the updated patch for MTW?

also, if anyone could suggest the "best" mod for medieval, it would be appreciated...

thanks

I'm afraid but most mods require VI (another point to why you should install it)...

The most praised mods around here are BKB, XL and Medmod, which adds a bunch of factions and a lot of units to the game.

If you want something quick and simple but refreshing, try the mod in my sig (check the sticky in the main hall) and let me know what you think about it.
