The game would appear with a Tag on the lobby, so that all players would know that it was from a plug-in. You couldn't pull off massive changes, obviously, it'd just allow for tweaks to some stats.

Of course the chances of there being such a radical change in the system of mod managment, when underneath Medieval still uses the same engine as Rome, is massively unlikely. Hopefully when CA come to make a new TW engine, they'll considor the modders much earlier in the process (or at all).
