have you even seen if you have those files present in that location?


The Cave/data/world/maps/base/

[Augustus Lucifer]

You need to have map files even if you don't have a campaign. The reason for this is a number of the custom battles are based on a coordinate on the map(Scottish Glen, Spanish Plain, Tuscany, etc.). You could also try removing all of the entries in custom_locations.txt after putting the file in your mod folder, though I'd still recommend having map files.

The refered to files need to be present in your main medieval folder, if your using the kingdoms.exe. This will give you your HUD back...
