have not created an automatic installer yet
but if you would like to try it and of have an understanding of how to manually install a mod
(unzip to desk top rename, just remove entry 0.5 should be just "druvatar" and copy to medievalII/data/mods)
added
new buidings
better economic balancing
more events
(historic as well as common events like Bride offerd or Alliance, relations improve)


new map
new music + loading, menu screens
first this is the initial beta,
hopefully soon I will release 1.0
but now it is still very playable
what I want is feedback and more feedback! I want to make this the best it can be! so the more feedbackthe sooner I will update!

details:
start date 1375
this mod is about Southern Europe just before the dawn of the renassaince
focus is on more localized and provincial domination but the map is extensive

contributors:
use of the "latin Empire" (Genova) from bulgaria total war 2.0
both the campaign and battle Ai done by Condottiere SOG

Most importantly the Stewardship, tutelage and guidance provided by GiGantus
and all of the other support I have recieved in the mod workshop
Caesar Clivus, Augustus Lucifer, Swagger, IrishRon and others

but this project is far from done so check this thread frequently

[For Whom the Bell Tolls]

I've attempted to install CHC and because you haven't stated the correct path, I assumed it was 'Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods' I read and reread the readme and it informed me:

Installation:
- The installer will install the files into mods\RegionMod_Kings
- Simply follow the instructions

However the BAT and CFG refer to 'Claimants,Heirs and Conquerors' and unfortunately I only have the following items in my mod folder:
data
preferences
saves
ChC_Uninstal.exe
Claimants,Heirs and Conquerors.ico
Configuration.cfg
Executable.bat
geomod.log.txt
ReadMe.txt



So thus far, it don't work.

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

the read me is irrelevant (it is just asociated with origanal mod folder) I guess I will have to re-create the installer and we will try again?
thanks

[For Whom the Bell Tolls]

Cool

I tried placing all the files in a folder called 'Claimants,Heirs and Conquerors' and when I clicked on the BAT file it seemed as it was going to work, however I got 'fatal error'.

I ended up renaming folder, BAT and CFG files to CHaC editing the necessary files and got it working.
I like the turbo charged turns and the events & pictures are cool however my strat text isn't showing

ok very soon I will have a "formal" re-release which will take care of the strat text and also update both the campaign and battlefield Ai and also skins will be new as well. that is in the near future. hopefully in a couple of months I will release a patch which adds the HRE, Flanders and France proper(kingdom France from vanila) and extends the map to incorporate northwestern Europe.

thank you for effort
I am glad you like so far!

initial beta

[BubbleBoy]

where do i put the files to play it? I tried putting it in the mod folder and when i tried to play it i had blank screen and had to restart the computer to get a picture back.

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

@Bublle boy
it is in Sega/medievalII/mods rght? ok then try copying and pasting both the bat. and cfg. into your main medieval folder and clicking the bat there or wait a little bit an I will have a automatic installer for the mod but thank you for trying and I hope you have success

Is this one a campaign to take all of Spain with just spain as the Map or will it go further. I found your link in the general discussion so I do not know if the information is elsewhere.

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

the map spans from western Italy, southern France, all of Spain and north Africa from Marakesh to Tunisia

[Horsa]

Hey man, congratulations. I'll definitely try this out once I've got a day to spare. + rep.

[G-Megas-Doux]

Sounds good I may give it a go at a later point, just a bit bussy now but will give it a look next month.

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

good idea by then I will have an automatic installer and a whole bunch of new stuff!

[Atatürk]

Oh it's out, congratulations! +rep

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

will someone please tell me they`ve got this up and running?

[For Whom the Bell Tolls]

I got it to work

After unzipping the druvatarr folder to the mods folder you just need to remove the extra 'r'

IE: rename folder druvatarr to druvatar

Where if anywhere do you want bugs posted?

right here for now, trying to get a forum but keep watching fwtbt I hope to have a new version soon with automatic installer, new battlefield skins and many, many yes/no events
yes I want info on bugs
but more importantly gameplay mechanics, I want to re-balance the economy so the "great wealth" you see in game can still be gained but it will take more thinking and I want to make battlefield stats what the player wants
so far give me your honest opinion on everything
this project is far from done and input from those actually playing it is paramount!

good catch by the way! the original folder is Druvatar, and is your strat map working?

[For Whom the Bell Tolls]

Strat map works for me.
Castilla is inaccessible, can't get in or out.

[For Whom the Bell Tolls]
