Hi all,
I'd like to introduce myself to everyone here at twcenter forums. I'm from Ireland and have been a big fan of RTS since the original Command and Conquer game. The last game I really was into was AOE III, which I played online and thoroughly enjoyed. I took a break from computer games in 2009 and didn't buy again until the summer of 2014, when I finally got around to buying Medieval TW2. I would have loved to buy the game back in the day, when it originally came out but my PC at the timer couldn't handle it. I bought a new laptop this summer and thankfully it runs MTW2 like a dream.
I absolutely love MTW2 and Kingdoms, the depth is great. I've played the campaign a number of times, I found the Byzantines to be the biggest challenge so far. I'm wondering are the Turks or the HRE equally tough? Where do people rank the most difficult campaigns?
With Kingdoms I'm currently playing as the Byz...finding it a bit of a walk over, they have such a strong starting position and huge room to expand with. They also seem to be a financial giant as well. I tried a campaign with the KoJ and found it to be serious fun and a serious challenge. The Crusades would be the period of history I'm most interested in and trying to alter the way things went historically...great craic as we say here in Ireland!
I've been lurking about here for a few weeks and came across Broken Crescent, I think this will be the first mod I try out. I've never installed a mod before, so I'm unsure which version I need to install 2.3, 2.3.2??? Could someone direct me to a fool proof guide of how to install the correct version? I'd be much obliged =)
