    Default BrokenCrescent while Vanilla

    Ok, I need to know.... lets say BC is released in august and I download it and install it on 1.2 ... a couple of weeks later expansion Kingdoms is released. Now.... will BC be installed for itself in the M2TW category... with its own .exe
    So that I can play Vanilla M2TW and Kingdoms when I use the normal .exe and run the vanilla game. And that I can play BC when I use its .exe

    I rly need to know this

    cheers

    Well i would guess that BC would work like any other mod and use the mod switch to install to it's own folder, then use it's own .bat file to launch the game .exe with the mod. Then the user uses the M2TW shortcut to play M2TW. Or at least that's how i set up LTC.

    Yes. The only files we are having to load from vanillas file structure are banners. I hope that CA will release some kind of hot fix for this.

    AlphaDelta - are you referring to the strat map banners? I'm pretty sure those can be included in the mod folder if they are saved as .tgas.

    Yes. They just need to be saved as .tgas with .tga in the actual title - ex. #banner_symbol_milan.tga.tga

    Great so that could mean that I can install BC while having M2TW vanilla with Kingdoms installed... and then choose which one I would like to run?!

    Then the only worries could be that the expansion might screw things up with BC.

    The expansion and how it will affect the vanilla game is still an unknown. But if RTW/BI is any basis, its pretty much 99% sure that kingdoms will have its own executable and it will probably install a new set of folder/files into the main data directory for the new campaigns, factions, units and of course the new game mechanics due to the "hero" system. As long as Kingdoms doesn't overwrite and replace any critical vanilla data then we should be fine.

    Okay, thanks for the good answers ...
    Then I guess I'll have to wait and see, but I hope it works out because I want it all. But if i have to choose between BC and Kingdoms.

    Guess which one ^^

    Going back in time here...

    Yes, my mod has both the strat map and battle map banners in the mod folder and things run fine.

    Cheers!
