A worthy successor to our beloved Vanilla Factions Expanded - Medieval and Vanilla Factions Expanded - Vikings, VFE-Medieval 2 builds upon everything that made the originals great. While this isn’t a medieval overhaul that removes late game content in favor of medieval content, we’ve carefully designed it to seamlessly fill the gap between the neolithic and industrial eras, ensuring medieval technologies remain relevant even as you advance.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
- New Medieval Factions & Warfare: Encounter fortified castles, viking towns and merchants’ caravans. Engage in castle sieges and skirmishes, as well as barter!
- Meaningful Medieval Technology: Unlock medieval advancements that don’t become obsolete: matchlock firearms, alchemy, and powerful fortifications that remain useful well into the industrial era.
- New Economy & Industry: Produce fine wines, rich honey, and crafted armors, establishing a thriving medieval economy that supports both trade and warfare.
- Expanded Crafting & Equipment: Wield an expanded arsenal of medieval weaponry, from warbows and arbalests to halberds and pikes with extended attack range, and dress your warriors and base in custom heraldic apparel and structures, displaying your faction's colors.
- Challenging Storyteller: Maynard Medieval: A storyteller who embraces drama, suffering, and slow technological progress, forcing you to earn every breakthrough through blood and toil.
After many months of development, Medieval 2 is our most refined medieval era expansion yet, delivering a unique experience without restricting your playstyle or halting your technological progression.

Gunplay causes the ranged weapons to go haywire and spew hundreds of projectiles (and red errors) constantly.

Q: Can I add this mod to an ongoing save?
A: Yes, as long as you never had Medieval 1 or Vikings on that save. Vanilla Factions Expanded - Medieval 2 is not compatible with any save files that ran the previous versions of the mods due to extensive changes to factions.
Q: Can I use it alongside Medieval Overhaul?
A: Yes, but it’s not recommended due to the extensive content overlap. Both mods add same things. Medieval Overhaul is an overhaul-style mod which focuses heavily on medieval era and changes the game to fit medieval era. Our mod is focusing on creating a smooth transition between neolithic and industrial periods, and is not meant to be used for ‘Medieval-only’ playthroughs. After all, we don’t want to remove the industrial content from the game. We’re Vanilla Expanded, not ‘Vanilla Replaced and Removed’.
Q: Does Maynard Medieval still limit the technology of the game?
A: No it does not. See above. We recommend using the following mod to limit tech: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3414187030]World Tech Level[/url]
Q: There seems to be some overlap with Vanilla Weapons Expanded
A: That’s right. This mod changes some content in Vanilla Weapons Expanded - for example, flintlock and musket will now be direct upgrades to matchlock weapons, offering longer range and actual armor penetration.
Q: Is this mod compatible with Combat Extended?
A: We do not handle CE patches. Best ask Combat Extended team on their discord/steam page. Do not ask here.
Q: What about Crypto weapons?
A: Those will arrive in Vanilla Quests Expanded - Cryptoforge.
Q: And what about the monster hunts?
A: Those will arrive in Vanilla Quests Expanded - Monster Hunt.
