To install the update, run the installer and point toward your main Medieval II Total War directory.
Note: Is NOT save-game compatible.
in the installment order, do i need to install 4.1 before 4.2?
Don’t install either; only install the main 4.0 and the 4.3 Patch. Both 4.1 and 4.2 are archived and the patch notes for this file says that 4.2 content is included.
When I download the file it doesn't come with an installer
The file is an .exe (executable), which is the installer. You have to double-click it to run it, which starts the installer/installation process.
one of the best mod I play .. thank you so much for your creative
Thank you very much!
