I want to download Broken Crescent but...

[Justinian l]

I am very timid. I have never downloaded another mod before, and I am definatly not technologicly inclined. The only editing in my Vanilla files is that I copied the unlockabe/papal states factions into the playable in the Descr_Strat file. I am greatly confused but would love to download BC. Is there anyone who is willing to explain the installation please? I apologize for any misspellings.

Hi, Justinian!

Do not apologize as there's nothing to apologize for. And don't worry, installation isn't that hard!

Here's what you must do:

II. Preparation for installment

BC 2.0 will install in a separate mod folder, and it will not interfere with your other mods or the original game. Follow the instructions below to ensure most optimum installation and bug free play.

• Install Medieval Total War 2 (vanilla game)
• Patch to version 1.2
• Patch to version 1.3
• Defragment your drive
• Continue to installation steps

III. Installation

• Start the installer by running bc20.exe
• The installer will automatically detect your M2TW installation folder, if this does not work manually select your main M2TW directory, (e.g. C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War)
• Select your original game version (ENGLISH vs. NON-ENGLISH) and start the installation process (NOTE: wrong selection here will cause CTD issues!)
• Apply BC patch 2.02
• Start the game with the Broken Crescent shortcut on your desktop

IV. Installation with the M2TW Gold Edition

Users of the M2TW Gold Edition please follow these steps to install BC correctly.

• Install the M2TW Gold Edition with at least one Kindoms expansion and update Kingdoms to version 1.5
• Install BC 2.0
• Install the bc.cfg file from here (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...80#post5496180)
• Apply BC patch 2.02
• Locate the map.rwm file in Medieval II Total War/broken_crescent/data/world/maps/base and click "compatibility files", then delete the map.rwm
• Note: map.rwm is not locatable using any search features, you may have to do it manually.

I'm sure you will handle it.
