Thanks for that Big G!

Ran your file and everything worked perfectly. Whatever I had running before only had 4 counties in Scotland, about 8 or 10 in England and about 8 in Ireland. Now there are numerous counties and far more options, like clans to choose from. I was looking for my clan, Murray (Murry) but not there...guess I can't have everything. But at least those hated Campbell's are not there! :-)

Thanks once again!!

Hi Bruce Clansman,

Basically this mod has been around for so long that it is almost certain that the answer you seek is somewhere in this thread. If you are absolutely sure that this is not the case then please post back with the required information stated above.

Hi guys,

I thought I would try this game, in anticipation for Kingdom of the Isles.

Installation went fine, It didnt unpack, despite the fact that I told it to, and it appeared to but reading these forums helped me play the game anyway.

I got into the campaign and everything seemed fine until, as the MacDonalds, i tired to attack Kinloch. When the battle was loading the game crashed and it gave me the "sorry pal" message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am already a big fan of this game!

Tapadh leat!

I feel like there might be something different when working it on steam, although I'm going to try through it again.

Hey,
After following all the instructions to the letter, and finally finding the unpackers for britannia, I managed to get the mod to launch. However, it won't actually let me start a campaign (no error message, it just doesnt work) and when I try a custom battle, I get the error message.

Hey, so after going through the error log and eliminating a lot of stuff, it still won't work. Running XP, and I've unpacked everything, deleted the geography files, copied the text and ui files over, installed both 3.1 and 3.2, (I can't find 3.0 anywhere to download) From the game menu, the campaign won't actually start, nothing happens when you click start, and though a quick battle will, a custom battle will not.
Help!
Here's the error log:

Well it should be working

I just recently reinstalled my own mod going through the instructions and using XP and it all loaded fine.

If you can wait another week, the full updated mod with a brand new easy installation and new features will be available. Keep an eye out at this thread in the coming days for more information.

**ruadhbran** · March 05, 2012, 10:43 AM

Hey, any news on that updated mod? It's been a couple weeks...
Also, I came up with an interesting idea, though I don't know how practical it is. Making custom battle maps for the major castles like Stirling and Edinburgh, or Dunbar, as they appeared. I really don't know how to do much of that sort of thing though.

**The Border Reiver** · March 06, 2012, 02:19 AM

Good idea ruadhbran about the custom battles, but making custom battle maps takes a lot of patience and time.

The updated mod has been worked on and I kind of got sidetracked by creating the Kingdom of the Scots to be playable on a large map as the main new feature. It will released next Sunday, and a list of additions and changes will be added on Friday night!

You cannot use custom battlemaps for locations with settlements in campaign (you would have to make new settlement models). You can however use them for custom battles but I don't think its worth the effort.

Hey, any news on that update? The current versions still don't work for me.

Delayed, delayed and delayed. The same old story really, as this is now a solo project, I'm working on it alone.

Easter holidays looks good though.

**jomas** · June 08, 2012, 04:32 PM

Do the patches count as the full mod? because I can only find the patches, but I can't start games or the campaign at all.

**Rafl** · August 25, 2012, 08:39 AM

I have a lot of problems!!!
First of all, for unknown reasons, in my M2TW folder, there only were:
a 'data' folder, with only a 'models-missile' folder in it,
an 'unninstal',
an empty 'mods' folder,
and 'readme' and 'EULA' i think.
All the other folders and files and everything where on my C:. For example, the 'mods' folder had in it all the other mods and i had no problem with playing them.

I downloaded the unpacker by gigantus and when ran it, cmd said that some files hadnt been found and tha 0 files had been copied. [or something like that] But in the end, it said : All Done!!!
Of cource, on there was no unpacked copy of the 'british_isles' folder...
So i thought i should move the folders and files to 'M2TW' folder.
I did it and still nothing happened with the unpacker.
But the biggest problem is that, after now, i dont know why, whenever im trying to play any M2TW game it says that: ''Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unsecified error and will now exit.''

Please help!!!
Its awful!!!

[Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand it]

**Rafl** · August 25, 2012, 12:10 PM

I found the solution with M2TW and everything looks ok, but the unpacker still doesnt work...

**The Border Reiver** · September 05, 2012, 03:32 AM

Hi Rafl, do you mean the unpacker doesn't send a shortcut to the desktop, or the clickteam installer doesn't work. Or is it the MTW2 unpacker doesn't work? I remember having this problem at one stage a couple of years ago.
