MTW Modding
Basic Modifications
Units
Build Tree changes
Projectiles

This entails creating new factions, new buildings, new campaign maps, new units, etc. The engine is fairly flexible, but there are hardcoded limitations on the number of factions, provinces and the like.

TBD - This is very preliminary, needs tons more content. Not sure how to break down the aspects, maybe have units, buildings, projectiles, maps, etc. I'm not a modder, and am not really the right person to be adding this info.
If owners of specific mods want to brag or put in intros and help pages, this would probably be the place to link from.
