How do i start the mod?

[akilshaw904]

This is the stupidest question ever, but i cant figure out how to start the mod. When i start the regular game, its the just same old countries that are available to play. (This is a a clean install, so i haven't played the grand campaign yet, maybe the countries aren't available? I cant start the game via kingdoms.exe, so im a little confused. xDD



Thanks

In my install I got a separate icon - try using that instead of the usual one.

Where is your alternate icon? i looked for an alternate start everywhere.

The installer should create a shortcut on your desktop. If not then find the C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod\medieval2_kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod.bat file, right-click on it and select 'Create shortcut'. This should place a shortcut on your desktop. Note: your path to the file may be different from mine.
The contents of the bat file should be:

cd ..\..
kingdoms.exe @mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod\medieval2.kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod.cfg

Of course you could just right-click on your desktop and create a new shortcut as well, but the first option is easier.

That sounds like a good idea, drop a post after you reinstall if you can, and give the results.
