Tutorial - Custom Character's for Medieval 2 Total War/ Mods

Welcome everyone to a joyous day of knowledge seeking. What are we seeking to learn? How to make your own generals in Medieval 2 Total War of course! First things first, you will want to copy and paste a copy of the data file you will be editing, and then you should continue watching how to modify your games files. This will be important if you don't know what went wrong when the game won't start, of CTDs begin to occur. Second thing on the agenda is something I didn't stress enough in my tutorial. Spelling! You need to triple check every part of the process when it comes to spelling accurately. The tiniest detail will screw up your game/ general you're trying to bring into the game. Thirdly, if you have any questions, don't be shy, leave them in the comments.
Happy Modding :D
