Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod is a huge expanded campaign for Medieval II Total War Kingdoms expansion. The mod focuses on increasing the size of the Grand Campaign. Which includes a huge new map, 7 new factions, and all the units from Kingdoms. The challenge is also a lot greater and the mod includes improved battle AI and campaign AI. And is quite possibly the hardest mod for Medieval II Total War.
First of all, we are way past 4.1 on TWC. ModDB sadly does not have the files. But the developers have uploaded it to mediafire, why they don't simply upload it here is beyond me.
Step 1 - Download the installer .exe with the base mod files: (Steam cant find kingdoms, below for info)
KGCM 3.0 download link: Mediafire.com
Step 2 - Install patch 4.2 to the folder containing your Kingdoms.exe file:
KGCM 4.2 download link: Mediafire.com
Step 3 - Install patch 4.3 to your ...mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod folder:
KGCM 4.3 download link: Mediafire.com
KGCM 4.3 alternate link: Filedropper.com

Some fixes for after completing the above
(I have not installed these myself but will probably do so in the future)
Steam users will most likely have to do the Steam Instructions before installing.
3.0 - Is straight forward, just click next on all of them.
4.2 - Point to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War
(Your's might be slightly different)
4.3 - Point to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod
(Your's might be slightly different)
Launching the mod - After installing everything, i was left with no way of launching the mod. So a little trick i did to make it easily available is the following
Steam update removed the kingdoms.exe to fix this do the following.
If that does not work, you're one of the unlucky ones and you will have to do the Regedit instructions.

Hope all of this was helpful, i love this mod and i know the feeling of wanting to play a mod and it not working. Thereby also saying "Fuuud it", quit, slam, delete files, uninstall MW2 and never look at it again. So lets hope you wont have to do that.

Full download for Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod 4.3 (standalone).
This update adds Norway and Wales to the Grand Campaign. It also makes the Aztecs playable and adds their new religion. The new world is now also discoverable...
Historically is not right. Venetians never controlled that part of Balkan. And what is with modern name for historically regions? Where is Serbia?
Dude, he didn't make the mod, he's just ported a way to find it over to MODDB, so instead of being a jerk, be aware he didn't make it, calm down.
Dude, you are being a jerk. I just stated facts.
Can you post a working link?
Any recent links that work?

I have an issue. When i go to fight a battle on the map the screen where i should see all my troops is just a blank white page with no options to select anything. It makes fighting a battle on the map impossible. Anyone got any ideas?
I had the same thing after I installed version 5.0 but there's a patch, version 5.00.02, and after I installed that it worked for me.
Thanks for sharing that solution
