Total War: Attila Mod – Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD Campaign: How to Download & Install

For years, fans of Total War have debated which game in the series offers the best medieval experience. While Medieval II: Total War remains a beloved classic, its engine shows its age. Meanwhile, Total War: Attila—known for its grim survival mechanics and complex systems—has proven to be the unlikely champion of historical modding.

Enter Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD, a total conversion mod that transforms Attila’s apocalypse-driven world into the vibrant, high medieval era of the 13th century. This isn't just a reskin; it’s a entirely new campaign that rivals official DLC. Here’s everything you need to know about downloading and installing this essential mod.

• Total War: Attila (base game) installed on your PC. You do not need any DLC, though owning Age of Charlemagne helps but isn't mandatory.
• Approximately 15-20 GB of free hard drive space (the mod is large).
• A stable internet connection.

Best Factions to Start With

Once you have finished your Total War Attila mod - Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD campaign download, you need a good starting faction. Avoid the Byzantine Empire or Latin Empire for your first run (they are brutally hard). Instead, try:

1. Kingdom of England (Late): Excellent longbows, strong heavy infantry, and a safe island start.
2. Holy Roman Empire: Central position means constant war, but you have the most diverse unit roster in the mod.
3. Ayyubid Sultanate (Saladin’s heirs): Amazing cavalry and a fun holy war mechanic against Crusader states.
4. Crown of Aragon: A naval power with tough almogavars – perfect for Mediterranean expansion.
