The Total War Center Modding Vault is a means of centralizing storage of mods so that people who wish to download them are not dependent upon the download location - which may be jeopardised by expired links or the hosting site going down - and the modding teams themselves, which may become inactive. It is funded by the site and run by the Vault Staff.

The Modding Vault was a forum and service on Total War Center that was created to offer backups for mods and resources over 100mb in size and tools of all sizes. Mods and resources under 100mb were encouraged to use TWC Downloads instead. Backups could be retrieved if a project lost all download links and recovery from the creators was not possible. File operations were manual and retrievals would be done manually, only when these conditions were met. Only the latest public release builds were accepted - ie, no personal/developer/multiple versions of mods.

When operational, the Vault could be accessed through the subdomain atlas.twcenter.net.
