installation help - desktop shortcut, bat file not present

[I2ain_2_Battle]

i installed 3.0 part 1 and 2. i skipped 3.1 patch and downloaded and installed 3.2 patch in my medieval directory.

i also did a fresh install of medieval 2 total war and kingdoms. i have patch 1.4 currently (default kingdoms installation)

I have the non gold kingdoms expansion
I do not have the steam version

I did not have a bat file when i installed 3.0 and 3.2 patch, and i did not have a shortcut to the desktop for the game.

I need assistance with my next step? i read online somewhere, that i could create my own bat file. would that be a good move for my next step? and where should i put "my created .bat file" on the desktop or in my medieval 2 directory?

*I do not need 1.5 patch to play third age right?

--------------------------------

I think i might have found my problem. I installed 3.0 part 1. ( and assumed that installation would include 3.0 part 2) but now I'm beginning to think i need to install both part 1 and part 2 separately. Which explains why i had no bat file or desktop short cut?

I know I’m necroposting a nearly 5 year old post but I’m having the same issues as the OP. I’m trying to play third age with the divide & conquer submod. I’ve followed all tutorials, instructional videos & read all the guides I can come across. Including

I know there’s something in Gigantus’ post for me (last link) but I’ve been working on this on and off for 4 hours with a terrible internet connection & I’m beyond burnt out by it,, I know it’s got to be something simple.



There’s no BAT file for my third age desktop shortcut. I have the steam version of the game. I’m going to keep looking on here as there’s a bevy info & thousands of other users have asked this question in similar ways. Thanks in advance to anyone who will take the time to throw a little erudition this way & please no smart alec remarks.
