A Medieval Mod 4 for Windows

A more immersive Total War: Kingdoms mod

A Medieval Mod 4 is a free-to-use mod developed by user fahk for the strategy game Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms. This user-created add-on remakes a lot of existing game mechanics, and features new units, factions, buildings, and interactive events. By loading up this mod, you can expect an entirely new gameplay experience — making it feel like an official game expansion.

Its scale makes A Medieval Mod 4 on par with some of the best mods for the game. Its wealth of features put it on par with Bulat Steel Total War, although this lacks the same level of historical accuracy.

Conquer the world with redesigned factions

As a mod, players are looking forward to the unique features they can expect from A Medieval Mod 4. To start, the game reskins all in-game factions and gives them an all-new look. Although it appears visually distinguishable, it leans toward fiction rather than historical fact. Another cool add-on in this mod is the collection of new artifacts as you win wars.

More importantly, the mod changes some of the gameplay mechanics you’ve known and gotten used to. Religion now plays a larger role in the game, as well as returning merchants to the game. This added focus on commerce and religion makes the game more versatile by branching out from the usual military route, although it makes it more difficult to maintain order and upkeep in your cities.

Unfortunately, it also suffers from the usual problem with user-created mods: accessibility. It requires a certain level of knowledge to use this custom content. Depending on the issue, you might have to run other third-party apps or check the version of the mod and the base game to make sure they’re compatible. The saving grace, though, is that it has an active online community ready to provide support.

Challenge yourself

If you’re an existing Total War: Kingdoms player, you can’t miss out on the opportunity to try out A Medieval Mod 4. It makes significant changes to how the game approaches the strategy aspect, with added focus on trade and faith as factors affecting how citizens and soldiers behave. You also get to enjoy the new costumes for all in-game factions. Highly recommended.
