Does DLV destroy my Standard MTW\Kingdoms Installation ?
No, DLV is totally isolated and will not overwrite any vanilla settings or any other mod files
DLV installs into:
..\mods\DLV_ext\....... ........#isolated mod folder

Yes, but to start a campaign you have to do the following steps:
Delete the map.rwm file here:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\DLV_ext\data\world\maps\base
Your path after VirtualStore may vary if you used other than the default install path.

How to accelerate the campaign turns ?
it's normal to wait 1 minutes or more each turn after 100 turns into the campaign (bigmap effect + scripts)
only little helps:
- turn out shadows on the campaign map (advanced video options), lower resolution
- turn off: follwow AI movements
- accelerate strat map movements in cfg settings
- If the game is running, push the 3 buttons together: str-alt-del to jump to the task manager and open the process list. Then set the process for the medieval.exe to priority high (right mouse button). Then jump back into the game
- install .net framework from microsoft: 2.8 MB (doesn't hurt you)

Sometimes the campaign freezes fro minutes and nothing happens anymore ?
If a faction lost it's last settlement then it changes into hording, that means troops are spawned somewhere and the faction is looking for a new capital. The hording process freezes the game 1...30 minutes, then it continues.
General Gameplay hints
- Suggested difficulty: VH \VH (Because of UAI 1.6 recommended by GrandViz)
- Develop the first years (in imperial campaign 40 turns approx.) only the economy and fill up your treasure box: a longer siege cost easily more than 10000 florins
- Treat your generals well or they will become unhappy and revolt
- In the beginning you get a rebel army challenging your reign ! Warmup for later !
- Have a look on the happiness in your capital settlement. A little yellow face means a blue eye for yourself the next turns --> Powerfull rebell armies will be spawned !
- A new faction leader needs a crown or he will be unhappy
- Avoid strolling around your generals outside from settlements. Save the money !
- Avoid strolling your assassins and spies strolling in enemy land without purpose. Save the money !
How does the career system works and the other traits\ancillaries stuff ?
How does the garrison script works ?
It spawns only if:

What is the rebellion stuff of Dearmad & Pnutmaster's Blood, Broads & Bastards Mod and how can I manage a rebellion before it gets out of hand?
Rebellion: Nobels can rebel, create unrest and become quite immobile and don't obey orders if
- a King gets his Faction excommunicated and his piety is not high
- a King runs his Kingdom's treasury into the ground
- the larger an Empire the greater the chance: those further afield from the capital are getting more unloyal (Crusaders are immune) which is reversible
- stripping your nobles of their titles
- a new King ascends to the throne, particularly if he has low Authority -- DLV2.0 addition
- a new King is uncrowned (has not returned to the capitol or already has 8 ancillaries [transfer some of them to another character])
The key is to look for the Faction Leader trait: "Offends the Nobility." You'll get an announcement in the Faction Announcements when/if this occurs. At that point you must move quickly. As long as the Faction Leader has the Offends trait, generals will choose sides either becoming loyal or disloyal to their Liege (this includes any Coming of Age, Adopted or Married in Generals that join your royal family later).
- Get the disloyal generals out of army command and governor positions.
- pair them with loyal generals
- send them to the battlefield: will slowly increase their loyalty
- Assassinate them, make them Commodores (passengers) of 1 ship navies and send them out to hunt pirates...just get rid of them, or sit on them (put them under a loyal governor) and hope they come to their senses at the next change of King.
- Don't let them marry, because their children can carry on the Father's disloyalty to the King.
