Third Age - Total War 1.3 Patch download

hi how do you get the ring on your desktop ive downloaded patch 1.0 1.1 1.2 and now im downloading 1.3 i have kingdoms and i have updated to the latest which is 1.4 or 1.5 do you have to download all the patches because i realy want this game =]

u have to extract files from the file part 1 part 2 and hotfix (has 1,4 GB) and then ull get 3 new files, 1 is tatw part1 2 is tatw part2 and the 3 hotfix. then u click on part 1 and install and then on part 2 and then on the hotfix. u extract files by clicking the right click on the file and then click extract here. then u can download the patches wich u dont have to extract just click on them to install. (to play the game u dont need to install the patches but its a lot better if u do) . when u do all of this ull have the icon on ur desktop and ull be able to play it by clicking the icon. (u need the disk 1 of m2tw to play the game)

Craving more megabytes, are we?

Yes you do need the first 2 patches

thanks that explains why it crashed when i did anything with the silvian elves

@ lol3 and @ (FA)FAnatic - If you got any sub-mods than that might have something to do with it crashing do a total unistall and make sure you get rid of anything that has M2TW or Kingdoms or TATW in it and follow these instuctions when reinstalling...

1 : Install Medieval 2 Total War update to latest patch. {which is the 1.3}
2 : Install Kingdoms " just one campaign is needed" make sure it is the 1.5 if not update to the 1.5
3 : Install The Third Age part 1 & part 2 to in Medieval 2 Total War main directory will look something like this 'Programs/SEGA/Medieval II Total War'
4 : Install The Third Age Patch 1.1 in same directory as the mod.
5 : Install The Third Age Patch 1.2 in same directory as the mod.
6 : Install The Third Age Patch 1.3 in same directory as the mod.
7 : Play game by hitting desktop icon "looks like the Ring"

Hope this helps

@ carlick - Try waiting alittle bit and then see if it will let you download it if not go here and ask for another link Twcenter.net Hope this helps..

I did all that and my emulation detection came up. I have used all the patches including the hotfix

./ignore this, It's working as intended now. My comp musta' had gas or something.

LOL ...

Thats not really a glitch its something that happened with M2TW and any total war game but it doesn't effect the game what so ever...

Don't forget you need to also get the M2TW expantion "Kingdoms" to play this mod...

Hi, just got my copy, its the gold edition which includes kingdoms. I have installed it all but its asking for the dvd. (inserted obviously) I suspect it is a patch issue but I am finding info on the internet on what i need to do to patch the gold edition vague as there seem to be some patches specifically for the gold edition. Does anyone know if i just use the regular kingdoms 1.5 patch or is there something special for the gold edition.
Cheers.

Go here this is the Kingdoms patch 1.5 for the Gold Edition Gameborder.com Hope this Helps let me know if it works..

hmm says im already at 1.5 i installed uk version of the patch should that matter?
Exact message i get is: Wrong disc inserted.
Please insert the original "MED2GOLD" CD/DVD.
Please have a look at Securom.com for further, more detailed information.

medieval 2 itself runs fine...

Thanks for the help i really appreciate it

If you go to options when you click to play one of the "Kingdoms" campaigns and look in the upper right corner of your screen it should say what it is "1.05" or something like "1.5" should be seen for "Kingdoms", it should say for M2TW 1.3, Now about the disc problem I would go and ask for help, it is a fairly common problem and should be easily fixed just go here and ask for help Twcenter.net
