    from what i understand the problem is that you have extraction problem. here is what you do:

    you put all the 11 .rar files in the same folder you right click the first one(lowest number) and select Extract All, the exctract location can be anywhere but i suggest you make a new folder in the same folder where all the rar files are so you dont get lost. after the extraction you will have ONE .exe file, run this file and it should install CoW 1.4.4

    thanks a lot really... can't imagine for how long I was waiting to play it

    I have installed in steam /steamappl /common /med 2/ mods I create a folder with call of warhammer

    then to play it I have named it americas and I moved the original folder americas to the desktop, as I always did it for previous mods

    is it fine also for call of warhammer???? because it does seems to work but I already had 3 crashes when I was choosing the factions ...is it normal??? I already reinstall it once

    ps: do I have to delete the folder of water or it is already modified in this version???


    thanks a lot for all your help

    well for steam it is a bit more difficult, personally if i were you and since you have already payed for this game go to torrents and pirate it. i tried using steam but it just seemed to complicate my life for no particular reason.
    so if you have any steam related problems then i am not the one to help you but i will tell you how i installed mine which is NOT a steam game but a regular CD game.
    1) i backed up all my installation files for Call of Warhammer just to be safe.
    2) i then made a folder in Medieval/mods/Call_of_Warhammer
    3) i used the .exe file to install everything into that folder
    4) i then deleted all the of folders/files that i was asked too
    5) done! right now i am playing a campaign as Khorne and its turn 54 and only one random crashed

    random crashes happen for random reasons but they are not repetitive, meaning if you crash at turn 37 then if you reload the save then there is a 99.99 chance that the crash you just experienced wont happen again.
    some people have less crashes with the torrent installation by Red Dwarf and others have less crashes with the patch to patch installation. i have never tried Red Dwarf's torrent but the patch to patch installation(from 1.4.0 to 1.4.4) was a crash festival for, i got crashes every 3 to 5 turns. right now i have what you have, and as i said earlier it is a very stable installation as far as i have personally experienced it.

    sorry i could not be more of help....may steam burn in a fiery pit of hell

    P.S. the folder must be named "Call_of_Warhamer" and not "call of warhamer" the underscores are important...apparently...
