I need help beta testing my mod. Below are the files that have changed and what they accomplish. The goal of this mod is too create a SPQR-like mod. Unzip to the root directory of the game and run using the Beta.lnk in the root directory. It will point to "C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\kingdoms.exe" --features.mod=mods/crusades --io.file_first. All you need is an unmodified Crusades folder.
