Guidance needed regarding applying patch 1.05

[jim600]

I have vanilla and Kingdoms retail discs bought in UK upon release.KIngdoms is 1.o4 and runs Stainless Steel and Third Age mods fine. I have Win 7 64bit and installed via default pathway into /programs (x86).

I d/loaded vanilla patch Total War_Kingdoms ENFRItGeSp.RAR.
On extracting to desktop I get a setup.exe file and 11 other files.

Should I just run the setup.exe file from desktop, or move all the files to another location? What should I do with the other 11 fi

P/S. Can I apply the patch to the existing installation or will it mess up the 2 mods installed?

Thankyou

Run the setup.exe. It reads and installs the other 11 files. Good idea to back them up for a rainy day so you don't have to download them again.

It should have no effect on the mods. But I might get proven wrong.

Thankyou Irishron. I`ll just do that from the desktop.

One other thing. I have Third Age and Stainless Steel ver 6.1 running well but I`ve been told that I should have 1.05 for Europs Barbarium2 that is coming out in a few months. If the other mods work OK why do I need 1.05? It seems difficult to apply and I don`t want to mess things up if I don`t absolutely need to.

1.05 has bug fixes CA missed in 1.04. Stone forts on the battle map showing up as wooden in 1.04 for instance. There are others listed in the readme that comes with the patch but this one got those that love fighting their own battles up in arms.

There is no reason for the update to upset your mods as they are in their own mod folders.

Thanks Irishron.
So what you are saying is that I shouldn`t need to update to 1.05 for Europs Barbarium2 I s that right?

Thankyou

If EB2 team says, "Update", I'd update. They know their mod better than I.
