Okay thanks.

Hello, I´ve got a problem with installation. I can´t change the path for mod to be installed. The default path C:blablabla/Medieval II Total War can´t be changed even manually. Any thoughts?

I had the same issue. Just put your MTWII in the default path and relocate/rename it afterwards.

Huh, that's weird. I'll see about fixing that and some other minor details soon - probably this Wednesday on my day off. Sorry about the inconvenience. In the meantime, I would just let it install (the install file will create the folders if necessary), and then just cut the Medieval 2 folder it creates and paste it over yours. If you do that, the files will go where they need to.

**Darth Pooh** · November 09, 2009, 12:18 PM

Yeah, I did that. Thank you both, guys, for your advice. Now bow before me for I am mighty Prince of Antioch

Great mod!

Bah. Will that need a clean reinstall of 6.1? I mean I've already started my KoJ and Antioch campaigns and are far progressed into an AAR for the first, so won't be updating for some time (as I assume it'll break it), but If I just patch it over the top, would that work without reinstalling?

Edit - I've not had that CTD, and I have Jerusalem for about 10 turns as Antioch? Have I done something wrong?

**Darth Pooh** · November 09, 2009, 02:35 PM

Excellent mod, but I´d like to discuss few thoughts:
1. AI isn´t able to demolish those Muslim shrines and build churches instead. I´m playing as Antioch and it hurts me to see KoJ crumbling by religious dissent. Removing the mahjids (or whatever they´re called) from all the crusader cities would help IMHO.

2. In early campaign KoJ hasn´t got any forts, just towns. AI is again unable to rebuild them into forts and builds mostly militia armies

Maybe you should turn Acre or Kerak (or both) into forts.

Please, don´t take it I´m being overcritical, just trying to help

**King Siegfried** · November 09, 2009, 10:26 PM

@Vaz: I'm glad you didn't get the CTD! Perhaps you downloaded a version that already fixed the error. But no, newer installs should not need a clean SS 6.1 install. AFAIK it just overwrites the files.

@Darth Pooh: The religious dissent is a bit of a problem. I left the churches as Islamic churches to reflect that those cities were just taken by the crusaders, but if the factions are having that much trouble due to it, I'll look into it. As for the early era KoJ, I intentionally did not give them a castle. The castle at Kerak was not built until the 1170s, so I made that a city in the early era to reflect this. In turn, this makes taking either Gaza or Damietta very important. If you want to help the KoJ out, maybe try calling a crusade.

But I always welcome constructive comments! Just keep in mind the KoJ will probably never survive the Middle East without player help.

Just as it should be IMHO

I´ve encountered an interesting issue - my family members won´t marry. Even though they are sons of the late prince of Antioch, no wedding offers occur. I think thats because Antioch was made from the Teutons whose family members won´t marry either (according to my experience). Or am I mistaken?
There´s also a typo in the world map - it incorrectly shows "The Captial of Antioch" instead of "The Capital of Antioch".
Btw I love the new units, they´re just great!

I started a game as KoJ and on turn 2 Antioch fell to rebels; I think you need to re-visit this.

Getting offers in my Antioch campaign. You're just unlucky sir.

That typo is indeed there though. Can't believe I didn't notice it until now.

Maybe my generals are especially ugly

Anyway, your submod is brilliant

There´s only one thing which annoy me, but I believe it´s general SS6.1 issue - movement of non-combat characters (diplomats, merchants, princesses) is very limited. A diplomat may spend his whole life travelling throughout Europe a die at the gates on Lisbon. Same applies to princesses, till they get their hands on some handsome heir to the crown, they turn into old bitter maidens

I´m looking forward to your next release and wish you luck.
Btw are you planning to add more Armenian units for the KoJ and Antioch rosters? The Armenians were the biggest Christian minority in the Holy Land and Crusaders rellied on their support.

**Darth Pooh** · November 10, 2009, 12:56 PM

Just a quick one: Around 50th turn AI was able to demolish muslim shrines and build churches. So I admit now that you were certainly right about those mahjids at the beginning of Early Era Campaign, it´s more challenging your way

**RCOG** · November 12, 2009, 01:29 AM

Ive downloaded your installation file, but when I open it, it says its installing 'Kingdom of Heaven 1.0' and not 1.2. Is it supposed to be like that?, or am I supposed to update it to 1.2 manually via patches?.
Edit: I dont know why, but I cant seem to be able to start the campaign, it just sends me back to the late era campaign menu. Ive also installed the hotfixes Ive found in your posts, but it apparently didnt help in this one. Reinstalling stainless steel.
Edit: Reinstalled stainless steel and your submod, it works fine now, but it is still version 1.0, is it possible I am downloading version 1.0 installation, even though the file name clearly says 1.2?.
Edit: I end the first turn, and then CTD.
Edit: CTD has been fixed by overwriting the old export_descr_character_traits file over the new one which was installed in this sub mod.
Edit : The CTD has been fixed, but several strange phenomenons occured :
1. the prince of antioch now jas basic orthodox education and has the "of cuman blood" traits which doesnt make sense
2. the king of the kingdom of jerusalem doesnt have any chivalry command or piety.
3. the battle banners of both factions are mostly blank white
Thanks in advance RCOG.
