Greetings,
The Medieval Nostalgia Mod is a sub-mod of Chivalry Total War. The primary purpose of the mod is to allow people to immerse themselves in the nostalgia of the original Medieval Total War on the Rome Total War engine (since for many people, myself included, MTW will not run on more modern PCs). The sole aim in this mod is to replicate the original MTW as closely as can possibly be done on the RTW engine.
*************** Features ***************
* units are entirely based on the original MTW, and only a handful are not included
* new custom made unit models and textures are used in addition to those of Chivalry Total War to achieve this
* unit cards, unit information pictures and unit text descriptions are copied faithfully from MTW
* unit states re-done to reflect the slower battle pace and unit balance of MTW
* buildings and building trees are entirely based on the original MTW, and correspond almost exactly to its own
* building icons, building information pictures and building text descriptions are copied over from MTW
* factions are based entirely on the factions of MTW, the only difference being that the Golden Horde is not included
* faction art such as faction symbols, and campaign and battlemap banners are copied over from MTW
* the original MTW soundtracks are now used for all in-game music, and no non-MTW music is included
* the MTW campaign map has been copied and the regions correspond exactly to the MTW original

*************** Download & Installation ***************
This mod is for the RTW engine, with the latest patch (v1.5). Firstly, install Chivalry Total War from this link. Then, download the MNM data folder from this link. Simply replace the vanilla Chivalry data folder (by renaming it to something else is best) with the MNM data folder and run from the Chivalry launcher.
Post in this thread or PM me without hesitation if you come across any problems.
*************** Known bugs ***************
* Only the first two custom battles maps are certain to work (since others are taken from co-ordinates from the old Chivalry Total War campaign map)
* There will be a CTD if you scroll around the Tunisia area with toggle_fow on, and occasionally if you can see the cities/armies in the area
