Hi all, it’s nice to see my mod is still being played. I made it back in the day, but I have not played it my self for years.
I remember waiting for Medieval 1 to come out. It was released on 25 August 2002 if I remember correctly. I had a PC gaming magazine with a preview of Medieval Total War. I must have read it a thousand times. I imagined leading the Byzantines to victory. Those days of Medieval 1 Total War were golden. Back in the days of true historical total war, before CA became corrupted.

Same here! Back in the day I had a PC that didn't even run Med1 well. The campaign map was just a big white blob with visible chess pieces and the UI. Interestingly I could run Rome 1 on the same PC. The med1 wasn't pirated so I was totally bummed out. Pocket money was hard to come by in those early days.

Medieval XL is my favourite mod of them all! Playing as the pagan Lithuanians as a one province minor on very hard was the challenge I was craving for for soo long in a Total War, and only because the AI actually is playing good (on the campaign map). I'd love to see more Medieval 1 on your channel and spread the word, Med 1 is completely underrated these days.

@@GudeaTW I'm interested more in the historically accurate or at least authentic mods and basic bug fixes for games I like, that stopped being patched 10+ years ago. The only mods I've tried were EB 1 and 2, and some fan patch for shogun because the tokugawas had broken units. I might try tsardoms since I'm romanian and wallachian and moldavian history appeals to me somewhat more than other regions in vanilla M 2 TW.
I have been playing the original total war since the day it's released. Still have 3 or 4 saved games waiting for me to continue. I love this game and want to keep playing forever but it has became kind of repetitive most of the times because i played with every single faction with many different scenarios that i imagined in my mind. I was so desperate to find a new idea that i have been missing to make me start a new campaign and be thrilled about it. And today i found this video, i found you. Great video, great introduction to the mod. Keep the content going my man. Btw you may thing like, where have you been all those years where there are many mods are around? x) I was kinda stubborn to change the vanilla to something else, like you said it is so beautiful and adequate, but this XL is exactly what i have been looking for. Anyway, looking forward to see upcoming total war gold edition videos.
I was just wondering yesterday if there was any mod for Medieval 1! Very cool

This is a great game, I keep returning to it. I could never get down with the other TW games, but this one feels right to me. I just wish things such as assassination outcome rolls were done better, the game gets really stubborn. And I'd like there to be a more fleshed out goal list for added factions in the XL mod for the glorious achievements playthroughs, as it gets stale to have to rush province capture when all I wanna do is hold the Balkans and make it a trading empire. :)

Control system on campaign map is probably what has aged the worst... But, adjusting that (drag and drop is quite unusual in modern pc games), and possibly increasing the province number, a remastered or an HD version of Med1 could be a worth title even for today young players. Keeping sprites (instead of 3D models) for units isn't a problem: they are quite frequently used in strategy games still nowadays :)

Looks like a good mod, but 2 mistakes I have noticed: They got the wrong Bulgarian Emperor in 1321, should be Theodor Svetoslav who ruled from 1300 to 1322 and is for me the most underrated Bulgarian ruler. They have Boril instead who was one of the worst and he ruled from 1207-1218. Bulgaria in high era should be bigger as well

Start positions are not 100% accurate in this mod, like I mentioned. It's also because they haven't changed the vanilla provinces, makes it harder
I was playing Medieval just recently. Got near the end and got kinda frustrated with the constant rebellions public order issues and flatlining economy they give you at the end. But overall still the great game I remember. You ever tried the Samurai Warlords mod? I'd be interested to see how it compares to shogun 1.
