    Default How to play as the Mongols/Timurids without modding!

    Barbarian Invasion players out there may recall that I once released an All Factions mod for BI which including allowing you to play as the various emergent factions as they appeared in the vanilla game by having the game auto-pilot to the point they emerged and then handing the player control.

    I was going to release a similar mod for M2, however CA have made it so staggeringly easy that no modding is required!

    Here's what to do:

    Have a look in your Medieval II Total War folder and you'll see a file called medieval2.preference.cfg - right click on this file and go to Edit and the file will open in Notepad.

    Add the following three lines to the [multiplayer] section (which were originally posted here):

    [multiplayer]
    playable = true
    hotseat_turns = true
    hotseat_scroll = false


    Then start a campaign as normal and select England (remember to deselect any other factions additionally highlighted).

    Launch the campaign and bring down the M2 console by pressing the ' key.

    Type in:

    control mongols

    or

    control timurids

    depending on which you want to play as. Then type in:

    control england




    The game will then autopilot you (warning this may take a while) to the appearance of your chosen faction and give you control of them.
