| − | 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.

| − | '''2.0'''

| |
| − | *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
| |

| |
| − | *Musketeer/Hand Gunner units attack reduced

| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | *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.
