Installation is to complicated

[DiamondOverlord]

Ok thnx for all your replies, I thought this part of medieval TW was still very active because it got the most forum activity of all medieval mods (all-time)
Sad to hear the original creators are not working on it anymore, it is prob finished since 3.2 was released and I played it in the past few years ago with 3.1 but didn't came far because the game was to difficult for me lol.

Btw I am using windows 8.1 and non steam version, so I actually got a retail case; Gold Edition.

I will try to continue my installation later this day and see how if I encounter new problems, but one thing I need to know before I can start with it is about the "permissions" and "take back control" part.

Do I need to change the permission settings globally? (as show at the "windows club" link)

Or do I need to change the permission settings locally specific at the medieval TW folder? (as shown in the pictures inside the guide)

Very nice, now up to installing MOS, DAC, or any of the submods and then you're done learning.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second thread warning regarding Censor Bypassing on this site. There will be no third warning. Thank you.

- First, take ownership of your main Medieval II Total War folder ( the one in your Sega folder), use the instructions shown here as an example of how to do it - Steps 1, 2, 3, and step 4 ( be sure to check the boxes labelled "Full Control" and "Modify" in the Basic Permissions in Step 4).

- Then, open your main Medieval II TW folder, right mouse click in the Address Bar and press: Copy address as text.

- And, replace the Default Installation path in ALL Third Age TW Installers with this one you have just copied ( "Copy address as text" ):

just select the Default installation path, right mouse click and press PASTE to replace it with the location of YOUR main M2TW Folder.

- After that, turn off/disable Automatic daylight saving setting, so that your battles do not crash.

- If you wish to play just vanilla Third Age 3.2 ( this means without any submods installed ) then, I would advise you to also install these bugfixes, which is a simple task if you have WinRar or WinZip program ( there is a free trial version available).


Good luck!
