The Grand Release of Age of Petty Kings. This mod takes place long before the War of Five Kings when Westeros was divided between countless Petty Kingdoms. Enjoy!
The Grand Release is finally here! This has been a long road, but we are proud to present the finalized version of Age of Petty Kings to you all!
You can vote on your favorite factions, and have input on the future directions we take this mod here: Twcenter.net
Just a few things first though:
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: This is a very convenient method for installing all M2TW mods, not just mine.
1) Make a copy the "Launcher.exe" from your M2TW folder and rename it "kingdoms" (if you already have a "kingdoms.exe" you should be fine).
2) Put the Petty_Kings folder into your mods directory and DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLDER'S NAME.
Assuming you have the "kingdoms.exe" and the correctly named "Petty_Kings" then you can simply double-click on AOPK.bat in the Petty_Kings folder and it will launch the mod.
(Alternatively if this doesn't work you can use a custom launcher or just rename the folder "americas" and launch that campaign)
HOTSEATING: If you have not already tried your luck at hotseating in Westeros, you're doing something wrong. You can join Hotseat games (and find out what hotseat games are and why they are AWESOME) here: Twcenter.net
KNOWN BUGS: There are some remaining issues that persist, some having to do with M2TW memory problems, some not. They are:
a) Selecting the "All" era in a custom battle causes CTD - This has to do with M2TW memory structure and it conflicting with our recruitment system. You can access all of a factions units on "Early", and the units plus mercenaries on "High" so you should be fine.
b) Issues with conquering House Tarbeck - This is a recent issue that has come to our attention and we're looking into it, in the meantime we are pressing forward with the release, so keep an eye out for 1.1 as it will likely have some fixes.
If you encounter any major and replicable bugs please head to our Total War Center thread to report them: Twcenter.net(PST)-CINEMATIC-PREVIEW
PERMISSIONS: Anyone who wants to use my work please PM me and odds are I will grant permission. I can say, however, that any use of this work MUST require a previous Age of Petty Kings installation. This means that submods cannot use a separate download of the full mod. I will probably loosen this up eventually, but for now I don't want people downloading my work from somewhere else ![]( "Wink")
.
OTHER: I believe I have all the credits and permissions in this mod properly checked out, but on the off chance I made a mistake please PM me and I can correct it immediately. A lot of people put their hard work into this and we all deserve credit.

FILE IS BROKEN, CANT EXTRACT IT.
It's probably not the file but your extractor. Just use WinRAR, that'll work forever. Even if you have the evaluation copy.
Why not 7zip? Works as good or even better than winrar + it's free software.
I'm assuming it's 7zip he's using now, evidently it doesn't work. (Implying that's the case, and not an error with his software specifically)
Extracting the mod worked for me.
However, more on-topic, I think the UI is too crowdy and not clean. Furthermore, the resolution of the UI also looks very low, that is a shame because everything else for the mod looks so good!
Error 404 when i click on the download button ;/
When you start a random battle up window: "Medieval 2:Total War encountered an unspecifiled error and will now exit" What to do?
What about regular custom battles? Do those work?
so can any one tell me in a dumbed down version how to install this? ive just always used steam mods, seing as how all u have to do is click download and its there
All documented in the install instructions.

I am having a huge problem on finding out how to install this mod help please
I installed the mod and everything correctly, nut every time i try to play a custom battle or the campaign i got a "unspecified error". is there any way to get it to work?
The "unspecified error" is something I get too, but in my case it is in campaign mode and right before my next turn comes around it crashes. I do thoroughly enjoy the game, but I was on turn 300 playing as the Storm Kings, conquered everything up to the neck. Now I cannot progress to the next turn without it crashing...oh well. It has happened to me in Empire Total War once and I survived. The game is amazing though!
Thanks! Try shifting the units around and ending the turn again maybe? I've never gotten that far in a game before...
Also one thing if your changing the file name to americas change the other americas file to like americas .original or something because if you have the kingdoms pack it will conflict if you have 2 americas files.
I've followed the install instructions, but when I click on AOPK.bat, it takes me to the normal kingdoms launcher, which doesn't show Petty Kings as an option (the other kingdoms campaigns are listed, as is the stainless steel mod). I've tried renaming the folder americas and launching, but it failed to launch. I then tried rewriting the AOPK.bat file to say 'cd ..\..
start kingdoms.exe @mods\americas\AOPK.cfg', which takes me to the launcher. When I try to play the americas campaign, it relaunches the launcher. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
NB I'm a steam user.

Batch file is incompatible with windows 8 & 8.1
Try renaming it "americas" and launching that campaign then.
I have attempted the campaign twice with different factions and both times the game will not go pass turn 251. Every time I hit "end turn" the game crashes with an unspecified error.
Wow, that's a long campaign... I've personally never gone past 50 turns. I think that probably has to do with a hard limit set on the number of turns. I can probably extend that for 2.0, but I just didn't know any games went on for that long. Can you post pics of the map? I'd be interested to see ;).
the Steam update just removed the launcher, so AoPK won't load. Any ideas on how to fix?
Follow the install instructions and it should all work.
Doesn't work still with steam update
hey im having trouble extracting the file, ive tried with both winzip and 7zip so i doubt its the extractor, ive also re-downloaded the file twice.
Try WinRAR, that one's the best.
ive downloaded the file 4 times, and used 7zip, winzip and winrar and have not been able to extract the file, what am i doing wrong????
fixed it, just extract to a folder outside of the mods folder, i just used new folder i created for said purpose, then copied it into the mod directory.
i am using medieval 2 total war on steam and i have windows 8. im really confused as to how to install and use the mod.
I don't have 8 so I'm not sure, but I hear the batch file won't work for you. Maybe try and rename the mod folder "americas" and launch the americas campaign?
What about if you use steam?
Is it the same installation procedure?
Yeah, same thing.

Hi, I would love to play this mod. But, when running the APOK.bat file I get the 'unspecified error' after seeing about 1 second of the loading screen. Any idea of what could go wrong?
Have you renamed the Petty_Kings folder by any chance? Also, did you create the "kingdoms" shortcut I described in the instructions?
If not those, I would advise renaming the folder "americas" (back up the other "americas"), and just launch the Americas campaign like you normally would. Good luck!
few quistions just to be clear i have kingdoms do i need to copy it
You need to make sure you have a kingdoms.exe file. If you don't, copy the one I talked about in the instructions.
i htried 2 times and 2 corrupted files when i try to extract with winrar is there a download problem?
Hmmm, sometimes I get that too. Try dragging the WINRAR file onto the desktop as soon as its downloaded, and then drag the file out of it from there? If not that then I'm not sure, sorry :(.
Hey Great Mod!!! thanks to steam for mentioning on news feed for game. i love it! Got it to work by renaming the 'americas' file as when purchased through steam, no kingdom folder is created.
only glitch I noticed so far is there are no loaded 'historical battles'. unless these become available later in campaign (?)
anyway, no biggie.. excited to dig in! thanks again
Yeah, historical battles take a lot of work to create from scratch (obviously I couldn't use the one from the base game). I will hopefully create a few for 2.0 though!
After installing all the files, I attempt to launch AOPK.bat, but it cannot find kingdoms.exe. I searched for launcher.exe to rename it, and I don't have that either.
Do you have Kingdoms installed? Also, are you using Steam? If not then maybe just try renaming it americas and play it like that.

Okay i found the folder, but i cant seem to find the Launcher.exe file
It should be in your main M2TW folder. is there already a kingdoms.exe there?
No there does not appear to be
well steam did merge the two exes to just medieval II,so kingdoms.exe does not exist
