Category:MTW2 Modding Tools

Some modding tools from Rome - Total War may also be useful for Medieval II - Total War, see here for list of RTW tools.

Many aspects of the file structure for Medieval II are different from previous games and have required separate tools to be developed. A list of tools and related downloads which are specifically for M2TW follows.

When adding tools please also link to any tutorials or primary discussion threads.
