Free RTS software modification bundle

This Divide and Conquer mod has been engineered to work in tandem with Medieval II: Total War. Offering a host of new factions alongside improved graphics and a more intuitive user interface, this free package is suited for anyone who is looking to take their approach to RTS to the next level.

This mod seeks to embrace many of the same Tolkien-inspired elements found within the original Total War bundle. The main intention is to provide fans with a more immersive overall experience and enhanced in-game options.

Factions galore

One of the most impressive features of this mod is the sheer number of factions that have been added. With more than 200 new units in total, players are offered a degree of freedom that would have been all but impossible in the past.

Improved campaign strategy models

Reworked Campaign Strategy Models (CSMs) provide unique customization options. All culture groups are now equipped with both town- and castle-line models, which can be modified when the need arises.

Redesigned 2D artwork

The majority of artwork found in this mod has also been streamlined, particularly the 2D battle maps. While elements like textures have indeed been upgraded, the overall “feel” of the game has not changed, providing players with a timeless nostalgic appeal that stays true to the original series.

A labor of love for the past ten years

This Divide and Conquer mod has existed for more than a decade. It is similar in age to other software patches associated with the long-running Medieval franchise. The developers also take player advice into account, resulting in regular updates and an impressive changelog.
