UNINSTALLATION
---------------
Just delete these files from M2TW folder:
- "Machiavello.bat"
- "machiavello.cfg"
- the folder "machiavello"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIMITATIONS
-----------
IMPORTANT: the M2TW menu could be instable (CTD), expecially when you select more then 6 factions consecutively in Imperial Campaign, or when you go to Custom Battle and then return in Imperial Campaign, or vice-versa.
I suggest not to waste time in menu, and to play soon.

I can't run this mod at all. For whatever reason, it keeps telling me to put the correct CD-ROM in the tray. That doesn't happen with any other mod I have.
vassago compleatly reinstall MTW 2 and then follow instructions and then it should work also The Housekeeper please note that some of you factionsdo not work please advise and your mod rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Completely reinstall M2TW? No thanks.
This problem doesn't happen with any other mod I play, so it's something wrong with this one. I shouldn't have to reinstall an entire game, just to get it working.
also when playing the Margrave of Brandenburg and attacking Saxony. There is always a CTD when you conquer the cities. Guess its the Emperor's revenge for attacking
This mod is really very good. Well done! The Ottomans and the Hafsids dont work but Im sure that will be fixed eventually. Ive just finished playing Portucale which is also excellent and I thought I'd give this one a try. Most impressive.
This mod looks cool but I can't get it to work, I put the file into my m2tw folder and the files from the patch it starts up but the game crashes and closes when I pick any faction, any help.
I installed your mod correctly but when I try to pick a faction to play in the grand campaign mode, and I click start, the game close down. The reason is "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit". I reinstall M2TW and install your mod again, but the same problem still appear. Please Help
also The Housekeeper please note that some of you factionsdo not work please advise
and your mod rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other option?
