General improvements to vanilla Medieval II Total War
For those who've never installed a mod(I had to have a refresher myself once) here's how you do it.
You take ANY mods I release and place them into the following folder below:
G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\data
The G is your hard drive, but, your drive installation will likely be different than mine, so, it can be C:\ or K:\.
Be sure to modify medieval2.preference in your main folder with the following lines of code:
[io]
file_first = true
This is highly recommended to put at the bottom of your file, and make sure you set the file as "Read Only" because otherwise, your game will invalidate any modded files as "corrupt" and give them a "default ruleset" after you launch it a second or so time.
Improves(with doubling) on the old set for more slots.
Doubles recruitment slots(from 1 to 2, 2 to 4 and 3 to 6)
Kept cheap upkeep and fixed ALL Pikemen(replace the older file with this one)
Put this in the same area(Data folder) as the cheaper upkeep mod. It fixes the AI treating you simply occupying a settlement as "Sacking it"
A mod that makes ALL units significantly cheaper for upkeep!
