RodG 1.5 - Easy and painfree Installation
This version is outdated and will no longer be supported.

Spoiler for for original post:
Comments:
- Reduction in size on disk - 2.92GB (present = 9062MB)
- Reduction in installer size - 0.24GB (present = 5140MB)
- The installer has to be in three parts because more then 2GB size is not supported by the installer program.
Recommendation:
- To avoid problems with future patches and other modding related problems apply this tutorial from step 3 onward.
Content of download:
Installation:
- Download the torrent file
- Run the torrent file with your preferred torrent client (size of installation set up: 15 files, 5.03GB)
- Run the EXE of part1 (DO files will be installed automatically)
- Run the EXE of part2 (DO files will be installed automatically)
- Run the EXE of part3 (DO files will be installed automatically)
- Download and install the patches and fixes
- Start the game
Remarks for installation:
- It should not be necessary to change the install directory unless it shows 'MyProduct' in the path. This means that the registry entry could not be found - either the registry is faulty or you are running a 64 bit system.
- The installation path has to end in the M2TW main folder (...\Medieval II Total War), nowhere else! Do not cancel the installation unless you get an error message or your hard drive light has stopped flickering – some files are very big and it might appear that the installer is frozen. If ‘MyProduct’ shows in the path, point the installer to the main directory of M2TW, not the mods directory!
Attention Steam users - this mod is steam compatible and can be started with the desktop shortcut provided you have installed the patch and quick fix summary from the second post.
Details of the torrent:
- The original torrent is only hosted on my machine, not on any hosting site.
