Igni Ferroque is a multiplayer balance mod that sticks closely to the vanilla style while completely reworking key mechanics and adding new units and maps. The aim is to create a whole new balance which should allow much more satisfying gameplay by rewarding good strategy. The name is a latin phrase referring to the scorched earth tactic, meaning "With fire and iron".
The biggest update yet, featuring 22 new units, 13 new maps and tonnes of balance changes! (Also a few secrets)

How to install:
Welcome to Igni Ferroque! The install is actually very easy; simply replace your teutonic folder with Igni Ferroque's folder (it's also called teutonic), then copy the sounds from vanilla. /////////////////////////// ///Detailed Instructions/// /////////////////////////// 1. Rename teutonic folder to teutonic1 in [C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods]. 2. Move the folder that is inside the downloaded .zip (it's called teutonic) into [C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods]. 3. Go to (C:\Program Files [x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\data]. 4. Copy the sounds folder from there into the mod [C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\teutonic\data]. 5. Run the mod by launching teutonic. **[If you already have a version of this mod installed, just delete the old version and start from #2]** /////////////////////////// /// Notes /// /////////////////////////// > This is basically replacing the teutonic mod so you can play online using steam. > If you want to play the regular teutonic expansion, just rename the modded teutonic folder to something else and then rename teutonic1 back to teutonic. > The reason I don't upload it with the sounds folder is to decrease file size (from 3.2GB to about 500MB). > If you're having trouble playing online, try changing your steam region to the same as the person you're trying to battle. You could also use hamachi and play LAN.
