Download
Modifications for Men of War can be downloaded from many official and unofficial sites. Before downloading a mod, make sure that the internet host seems reliable in case of "clean" content. Too much advertisment or bad feedbacks should make you be more careful. Note that some modifications are not hold in archive files but in executables which might allert your firewall or anti-virus programm. In most cases, this would be a false alarm and you can continue downloading the file.

Please have understanding for the fact that Men of War - Wiki does not hold any files, including modifications, because of data privacy reasons. That means you have to look for an external source for getting your mods for Men of War. Men of War - Wiki does not guarantee for any external data or content, so please do not call this site's support in case of a "dirty" download.

Installation
Some mods are packed in one single executable file wich installs the downloaded modification by itself. These batch programs sometimes activate the mod in game automatically, too. Most mods do not feature that easy way of installation and require a standard installation process by the user. If the folder is packed in a .zip or a .rar archive, you first have to unpack that virtual archive so that a folder results by that. It is possible that an extraction is required several times before you get the core mod folder. If you got that folder, you have to move (or copy) it into the mods folder in Men of War directory (by default: ). If this folder does not exist already, create it.

Activation
After the modification data was placed in the designated path on your PC, you must activate the mod now in-game. To do that, launch Men of War and go to the main menu. There, open the settings dialog and switch to the newly-created tab Mods. There you can see a list of all modifications in your mods folder. Double-click on the modification you want to (de-)activate and click on Save afterwords. Your mod should now be activated.
