What Patches Do I Need For M2TWG?

**Muzzy** · May 01, 2009, 09:58 AM

Firstly, hello! My first post.

Right, to business. I just purchased Medieval 2, and have played through the vanilla campaign twice - as the English, and most recently as the Egyptians. I just finished my campaign with the latter, but I've been reading lots about patches and mods and the suchlike on here, and wondering if there's any I need? Obviously I'd like every patch that would improve my game, and if there's any texture mods for faction badges, banners above armies and such, I'd love to here about them too.

Regards,

Muzzy.

http://help.sega.com/index.php?_m=do...212&nav=0,1,19 is for 1.2 patch. If you're going to play online the 1.3 patch is on Sega's site, also.

For all the goodies, look through the Mod Threads forum and the Hosted Modification forums. Do a lot of reading. Many are not compatible with each other.

Thanks for the help. Is this the same with the gold edition? I put it in the title but didn't mention it in the above post. I've heard the Gold edition is already patched?

OOps. You didn't say Gold outright in your first. Gold, if installed correctly is patched to Medieval2-1.03, Knigdoms-1.04. There is a Kingdoms Update patch that takes it to 1.05 and many mods require it. http://help.sega.com/index.php?_m=do...id=215&nav=0,1 is the page.

.
Likewise, the NON-gold edition of Kingdoms automatically installs patch 1.3 ( technically, 1.03 ).
.
In other words, installing the Kingdoms expansion discs (whether gold or NON-gold) automatically installs the 1.3 ( 1.03 ) patch to MTW2 [and ultimately brings the game to version 1.4 ( 1.04 )] .
.
Remember that one must have MTW2 patched to 1.2 ( 1.02 ) PRIOR to installing Kingdoms.
