Installing mods for Medieval 2 takes some effort (it's 13 years old after all). While there are dozens of mods with historically accurate factions, today we're going to get our Hobbit on and take a look at what's good for your Elf. Thanks to its robust mod support Medieval 2: Total War still has a large and active modding scene.
