Installation instructions by Elvenkind
VERY IMPORTANT FOR INSTALLING ANY MOD!!!!
1. While downloading files, be sure NOT TO USE THE INTERNET or do some multitasking on your PC, otherwise, you can get corrupted download!
2. Be sure to check the INSTALLATION PATHS PROPERLY, this is the first reason why your installation won`t work.
3. Do not download the files of submods into your M2TW folder!
| Medieval 2 TW + Kingdoms base |
NON STEAM, GOLD RETAIL, DVD\CD VERSIONS:
If you have Medieval 2 TW installed, and Kingdoms expansion installed+ patched to 1.5( 1.05, if you haven`t, go here and find a correct patch, you will know which one is correct if you don`t get any error message during update) http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...78#post8457678 . Updating to 1.5 is optional, but some people report it helps them with their game.
STEAM VERSIONS:
Steam usually updates Medieval 2 TW + Kingdoms on its own. |
| WINDOWS 7, 8, and VISTA Users CHECK THIS FIRST!!! THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TO DO BEFORE INSTALLING THIRD AGE TW, AND ANY SUBMOD |
WINDOWS 7, 8, and VISTA Users (Medieval 2 TW STEAM, NON STEAM, GOLD RETAIL, DVD\CD VERSIONS ):
1. Unhide hidden folders (follow this How to Unhide hidden folders on Windows: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...59#post8287059)
If you can`t see the picture in that post, then this is how to do it:
On your DESKTOP, click on START in the bottom left corner, in Search Programs and Files type in Folder Options, click on Folder Options, go to VIEW section, and in Hidden files and folders check the box next to SHOW hidden files, folders or drives. Apply, and OK.
2. THIS IS IMPORTANT: disable UAC (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...59#post8287059) go to section `How to fix it` and apply step 3.

More info on reinstalling TATW here. |
| NON STEAM, GOLD RETAIL, DVD\CD VERSIONS: for installing Third Age Total War |

If you have M2TW + KINGDOMS installed in default installation folder ( C:\ Program Files (x86)\ SEGA\ Medieval 2 Total War) , then procced with installation, but CHECK THE INSTALLATION PATHS NO MATTER WHAT.
If your M2TW + KINGDOMS are installed in some other place ( for example D:\ Games\ Medieval 2 Total War), then use the ˝........˝ button to browse ALL THIRD AGE INSTALLERS to this D:\ Games\ Medieval 2 Total War folder. AND CHECK THE INSTALLATION PATHS NO MATTER WHAT AGAIN.
