success with playing FKOC from Steam

The Kingdoms Launcher works just as well for M2TW as it does for Kingdoms. For those of you having problems try adding it through the Kingdoms launcher. It worked for me.

Could you elaborate a bit ? What are you doing to get it to run ?

Please elaborate in great depth, this would be a handy thing to steer future people with FKOC users with Steam installation issues to!

Download and drag the Kingdoms launcher to you desktop.
Download and install FKOC into your M2TW mods file (example: c:\steam\...\m2tw\mods.
Click to open the Kingdoms launcher. select "File" and from the File drop down menu select new mod.
Click n the "Browse " button and go to the path (c:\stead....\mods\FKOC and click on OK.

don't forget to update you normal M2TW launcher at the TW site. I think you can find a link in here someplace.

This doesn't make sense. When I launch Kingdoms from my desktop shortcut there is no file menu.

OK so I got it to work. Now I crash when entering battles in the campaign

All I get is the message Med2 has stopped working due to an unspecified error.

Check the log file (main med2 folder) if you crash on battles the issue will be with the battle models.db/edu.text files or missing meshes etc. In which case reinstall it and it "might" work.
As I've said before I've never tried to get this to run on Steam/Kingdoms so my knowledge is quite limited.

Sounds good. I played a campaign for a good 2 hours today without any problems. If anyone else needs help with steam let me know. It is a pain to get figured out but once you do it is well worth it.
