Is Third Age : Total War compatible with Direct 2 Drive Kingdoms expansion 1.5 patched?

[mavyalex]

Hello,

Well the title says it all...I read on some forums that Direct2Drive PC games are not totally compatible with some mods that us "OBSE" functionality.

I need to install Third Age: Total War and Call of Warhammer: Total War...

Will my game work?

-----UPDATE------UPDATE

Well I got Third Age Total War to work with my Direct2drive game...

But look what I get with version 1.0 (not patched) of this mod!

This is a bug of the 1.0 version....
So patch it to 1.4 and all will be fine.

TATW is totally independant of med2. Modfoldered, so no interaction with the other files. It's just installed into the med2/mods/third_age folder.

Ok. Got it. What about other mods such as Call of Warhammer? , Stainless Steel? What is a Total Conversion then? I thought Third Age Total War was a Total Conversion because it is written in the installation files?

TA:TW is a total conversion, because whole world is changed, including the world map, factions, units, buildings, models and textures. But we're lucky enough to be able to put it in a separate folder, so we can still play other mods, or vanilla. When you play TA:TW, the game is told to read the /mod/Third_Age folder instead of the default folder.

All other mods that are installed in a separate folder (I know SS is, I don't know about the others) should work the same way.
