=== Overview ===

Lands to Conquer, a mod made by [[Lusted]], is a mod for Medieval 2: Total War that has had over 50,000 downloads for all versions so far, and was recently voted [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=89834 Best M2TW Mod] at TWC.

It is a mod aimed at improving the gameplay and balance of Medieval II Total War. It does this through extensively rebalanced unit stats; changed unit costs; longer, slower paced campaign; more difficult to maintain larger empires; improved campaign ai thanks to the Ultimate AI mod; and various other things. It also features an easy to use installer that does everything for you.

=== Features List ===

'''2.1'''
Battlemap
*Shield bug workaround courtesy of the_foz_4.
*Improved balance of units.
*Latest version of Darths formations mod and config_ai_battle.xml, battle_config.xml and descr_pathfinding.txt included.
*Fixed bug with Gallogiach and custom battles.
*Reduced wall and gate strengths from 2.0 as they were far too high.

Campaign map
*Reduced money boost given by money script
*Reduced distance to capital and religious unrest effects.
*Ultimate AI mod v1.1 included.

'''2.0'''
Battlemap
*General all round better balance of units.
*13 new custom battle maps. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=76887
*Longer lasting, slower battles.
*Spearmen rebalanced so they are now more effective against cavalry
*Cavalry charge is less devestating than in normal M2TW, but has more impact and heavy cavalry can still wipe out sword infantry pretty easily.
*Longbowmen given longer range, slightly better attack and faster rate of fire
*2 handed axe unit bug workaround. They now use a different animation and rebalanced attack stats as a result.
*HorseArchers charge fix. Now all units will charge properly, and light cav is the best against routers. Also all round better charging as a result.
*Slowed movement speed on the battlemap
*Incorporated Darths Formations v1.0 for M2TW
*Musketeer/Hand Gunner units attack reduced
*Byzantine Infantry, Varangian Guard and Kataphraktoi made more powerful
*Range of low level artiller increased
*More variation in stats between units that previously had the same stats(Order Knights, Dismounted Druzhina and Dismounted Boyars Sons)
*Venetian Heavy Infantry and Archer armour upgrade bug fixed.
*More difference between arrow and crossbow projectiles.

Campaign map
*1 Year per turn, and dates shown on campaign map again
*Building construction times and cost increased so as to fit in best with 1 year per turn campaign.
*Ultimate AI Mod 0.9 by GrandViz incorporated, makes camapign ai better, diplomacy is more logical and alliances are much better. But still a nice element of backstabbing in the game.
*Traits and Ancilliaries mod v1.1a by Orientis which fixes all the bugs related to traits.
*Unit recruitment changed. Units now replenish slower and elite units have smaller recruitment pools. *Also units no longer recruited from walls or from castle upgrade buildings.
English Armoured Sergeants, Dismounted Broken Lances, Dismounted Gothic Knights and Dismounted Mongol cavalry units added into the campaign
*Ai recruits better armies. They are more balanced and have more higher tier units in them.
*Recruitable Generals.
*More variance in the date at which the Mongols and Timurids appear
*Merchants make more money.
*Inquisitors made less powerful.
*Unit costs tweaked so ai builds more balanced armies.
*Money script for ai factions so it gets a cash boost when it gets low on cash so the campaign is tougher.
*Increased movement distance for armies and agents.
*More recruitment slots in castles.
*More free upkeep slots in cities.
*Assassins made more powerful.
*Pirate and Rebel spawn rates reduced.
*New population levels required for each level of settlement, but lowered slightly from 1.21.
*Distance to captial penalty increased, but not as severe as in 1.21.
*Religious Unrest increased.
*Corruption increased.
*Income from trade increased, and population growth from trade decreased.
*Population growth from farms increased.
*Cannon/Ballista tower bug fix included.
*Assassin and spy movies back in the game, thanks to a .bat file i've made that copies them over during the install.

Graphical
*New loading screens and splash screens.

=== Future of Mod ===

Lusted is working on v3.0 of the mod that will include more factions, a changed map and new units and some new textures, though he has been vague on exact details so far.
