I'll update the OP if anyone want to have a list of mod recommendations or solutions of troubleshooting in the OP.
Game solutions
Thanks to http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1442496-total-war-discussion-7/page__view__findpost__p__22367594 I can add a http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?103656-NEW-Fix-for-CTD-when-starting-campaign-(Nvidia-High-End-Cards)-10 (don't use the Gamefront link since it's broken) in the OP of how to fix CTD in Medieval TW - Gold Edition 2.01 with Nvidia 8xxx series cards.
Mod recommendations

How to install mods on Steam versions
Since http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1305493-total-war-discussion-3/page__view__findpost__p__19788436 I realize that were no such list of Steam version games in the OP, but below they are listed and let me know if there is something to add or correct that game list.
Retail Version
- Medieval TW
- Medieval 2 TW
- Rome TW
- Shogun TW
Steam Version
- Empire TW
- Napoleon TW
- Shogun 2 TW
- Rome 2 TW (2013-09-03)
Please note that most retail games is also available on Steam except for Shogun TW and probably Medieval TW, because the older titles was development with either DX7 or DX8 for Windows 95/98 when they were released in the 90's.
