A complete waste of time

I have to say the instructions on how to get this mod working have to be the worst ever written. I have tried everyway that I can think of to get this mod working to know avail. 1.4.4 was a walk in the park compared to this mod.

Get no COW loading screen just goes to MW2 loading screen briefly then CTD with no error code. Think I will stick to TATW at least its easy to follow and works.

Every mod is installed the same way.

@bobthrebretonnian - have you tried using this? Makes it quite a bit easier and works perfectly for me . http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=525138

Both originals install into the same folder, it is advisable therefore to:

1. rename the first installation
2. Follow this tutorial from step 3 onward
3. then install 1.5 (the original)

I downloaded from the website where u had to do the 3 part installation (dont know how to use torrent). Deleted any files that we not supposed to have. Then found out that it could not find kingdoms.exe worked out what that was. am trying again at this moment but not gonna hold my breath.

Ok so seem to have got a bit further but now comes up with fatal error and mentions CA LIBS?

Nearly 2 days to get a mod to work back to 1.4.4 I think

Sorry gigantus seriously looking forward to this but am not gonna waste my time with a game the needs a PHd in computer management to get working. Every other mod i have tried has had no where near as complex installation instructions as Call of Warhammer has. Being a warhammer gamer was seriously looking forward to this but cannot recommend to any of my friends. Never have I been as disappointed as I am now trying to work out how to install this game

Problems encountered (not using torrent)

1. you have to mention that all 3 parts have to be downloaded and extracted 1 at a time.

2. Then it seems as we do each part certains files have to be deleted before u start the next part.

3. Then we have to employ a fix.

4. Takes nearly an hour to extract and install.

5. The bat file path is not the same as the folder name?

and thats before we encounter any other crashes etc

2. Then it seems as we do each part certains files have to be deleted before u start the next part.


whgat are you talking about? you simply overwrite those files, or merge them.


you shouldnt be deleting any files at ALL. what is the names of those files you are deleting and copy paste the path your deleting it from.

I am a bit confused - which version are you trying to install? Can you give a link from which post you got the download links?

I have same ca-libs in 2 mods, any help what is it?

Could be that the CFG file in your base folder is corrupt. Delete the medieval2.preference.cfg in the C:\...\Medieval II Total War folder an try again.

It would be nice if someone would set up a high speed download file from a HIGHLY reputable site. I know that means someone spending money though in this day and age or else put it up in parts. Filefront is a bit tight on their maximum file size but they state that they can be contacted and asked permission to do a bigger one.

well filefront is gamefront now so I dont know what I am talking about.
