Hi there,
I just removed the old version I had, then moved this versions folder in the mods folder but in the options menu, it still says "Ver. 1.52" Did I do something wrong? Also this The King and the Crusader "Logo" is nowhere to be seen.
that's MTW2 version
From what i gather up until version 2.0 there were less steps to the installation, did you follow all the steps for this update?

Finally. My favorite soundtracks from ESO:Elsweyr. Thanks ;)
i keep getting Medieval 2 Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit how do i fix it
I dont know if this will work for you or not, but I got the same thing. Basically I realized I downloaded the 4g patch after I was supposed to and not before. So I deleted and tried again the right way and for some reason Medieval 2 decided to reinstall. After that it was fine. So go ahead and give it a try. If it doesnt auto reinstall Medieval 2 for you then try to unistall and reinstall. Launch from Tes total war launcher tho. hope this makes sense lol
he is using a cracked/pirated copy sir :P
4GB wont work
4gb do work on steam version, worked very well on mine and fixed my crashes.
hey thanks for the new version, looks great! trying out all the factions all of which are great, especially the great houses imo. just something i noticed, the Hlaalu Royal Guard models look just a bit smaller than everyone else, like they're downscaled to 90-95% or something, so they just look a bit off in the battlefield. sorry i wasnt sure if anyone else mentioned that already
Should i be able to see the king and crusader logo on my loading screens?
Playing as Daggerfall. I have built stables but cant recruit cavalry. Is this normal?
Delete map.rwm in data\world\maps\base
I deleted map.rwm but am still unable to get Cav units in the fourth era
I'm having a similar issue; playing as cyrodiil in the 4th era, I can't recruit cavalry. I tried deleting map.rwm, but nothing has changed.
Before The King and Crusader update, playing as cyrodiil in the 3rd era, I couldn't recruit archers, but after the update that issue no longer exists.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Its ok sussed it. Need bigger stables
hola a todos una pregunta seguí los pasos de instalacion pero cuando inicio TESTW Launcher para iniciar el mod me da el error 0xc0000142 (kingdoms.exe) cuando lo ejecuto desde el The_Elder_Scrolls.bat dice que esta mal escrito o no lo encuentra alguien me puedo ayudar a solucuionar elproblema por favor ?
Hello everyone, a question I followed the installation steps but when I start TESTW Launcher to start the mod it gives me the error 0xc0000142 (kingdoms.exe) when I run it from The_Elder_Scrolls.bat it says that it is misspelled or cannot be found by someone I can help to solve the problem please?
It's in installation instructions. You either didn't create kingdoms.exe or didn't apply 4gb patch to it. Read instructions carefully
Efectúe una copia del archivo ejecutable "medieval2.exe" y renombre la copia "kingdoms.exe." Parche ambos ejecutables con el parche 4gb. Tiene que parchear ambos ejecutables o el programa se bloqueará.
Make a copy of medieval2.exe and rename the copy kingdoms.exe. Afterwards, apply the 4GB patch to both executables. Make sure to patch both executables or the game will crash at launch.
Hello did you find any solution? I followed step by step the instructions and ran into the same problem
SAME
Hi Deadra. Is it save game compatible?
its not
I'm surprised it hasn't been asked yet but how do you get access to the new mercenary armies? I didn't see it in the changelog.
It depends on the faction you play as and the buildings you construct, or if you capture a specific settlement on the map.
If you are a faction that can recruit them, you will receive a scroll about it in the first turns

I have a problem.
I have installed this 2 times but whenever i try to open the file to extract the folder to mods. It says ''error, a file is corrupted or non existant in this file,
I dont know what i can do.
Try downloading the mod again. Delete any old versions of the mod you may have and then install it to the mods folder.
Hello there, Im playing as stormcloaks. But on the campaign map the unit cards have empire responses when you click on them. How do I fix this?
Hello! The patch is patching kingdoms without a problem, but when I try to patch medieval2 it says it can't open executable. Any help?

In the Fourth Era campaign, House Sadras has the Imperial banner on the battle map, and the House Hlaalu sigil on the campaign map. How can I go about fixing this?
Historical battles seem to be broken. The Battle of the Red Ring crashes the game during loading, and when trying the first one on the list (I think it's Dragonstar? Not sure) it crashed after quitting. Other battles don't seem to do this, and the campaign works fine, though I haven't fought a campaign battle yet.

Hi, I am also having the problem that I can't recruit cavalry despite building a stable. I deleted the file which you named int he description, but it still doesn't work. Any idea? I tested it with the Nords and Cyrodiil.
You gotta start a new campaign after deleting it (nake sure you deleted it for both campaigns)
The game crashes in every 2-3 end turns, or even after a non-autoresolved battle. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Hi there, I've rebalanced every single unit in the descr_unit file to my own liking in V 2.0 and would very much like to avoid doing all that again. what would be the easiest way to install this version while keeping my own changes to the descr _unit file? simply copy paste my text over the corresponding unit in this version?
Best regards
Yes.
Or easier would probably be instead taking new units entries from 2.0.1/2.0.2 and inserting it in your txt file. I think the additions are maybe "just" Crusader and Kings units?
Thanks for the reply. Looks like its the hard way. Adding text in the unit_descr file is not enough. I still need the meshes and directory files. Dont know how.
Is there a way to re-add free upkeep units in forts?
see descr_strat
Why does the Empire not have a family tree?
