Planetwar Total War is a fantasy based mod for Medieval II Total War. It places the human race on an alien planet with many other alien and mythological civilizations. This download includes the new patch.
I found an issue that causes a possible crash between turns 23-30. Here is the patched version of Planetwar Total War.
Storyline:
In the year 2500 the human race was
conquered by a more advanced alien race. Every human being was either
killed or rounded up onto a massive space ship to be used as slaves.
Along the way to the aliens' homeworld, one man by the name of Mike
Slate succeded in hijacking the slave ship using a box cutter he managed
to sneak aboard.
The slave ship was forced to land on an earthlike planet and all
humans were released. As they exited the ship, they soon realized that
they were not alone. Several other humanoid alien races were also
enslaved aboard the ship. Apparently, the aliens went from solar system
to solar system conquering and enslaving. Over the course of 500 years,
each alien race migrated to a different part of the planet, seeking
conditions similar to their own homeworld. Some developed metal
technology rather quickly while others couldn't figure it out. The year
is now 3000 and the human race is in a struggle for the right to exist.
This is the most current download for Planetwar Total War. The bug that caused a crash between turns 23-30 has been fixed.
So, do I need the PTW 3.0 before downloading this patch, or is it enough to have 2.0? This is, by the way, the most ridiculous mod I have yet seen. I'm loving it.
how do you install this one
Download and extract the WinRar file. Open the folder named PlanetwarTotalWar. Move the folder named Planetwar into your mods folder for Medieval II Total War. Open the Planetwar folder and double-click on the batch file named "Executable". That should start your game.

Hi Smolka,
It seems like an interesting game. I downloaded and extracted the file but . . . it won't let me open it up. I proceeded to extract it into mods but it still won't let me open it. Also, it's the second time I've downloaded it. Any thoughts? I'm not an experienced computer guy so thanks for any help you can provide! =)

Open the folder you get when you extracted the files. There should be a folder named "Planetwar" inside it. Move that folder into your mods folder. Open the "Planetwar" folder and click on the batch file to start.
Hi Smolka,
The problem is that the folder won't open and in fact there is no folder sign. Intead, in the most weird sense, it is trying to open as a word document but can't because it claims it is too big for one.
I re-downloaded it and the same problem is still going on . . . I proceeded to print screen my steps into another word doc if it might be helpful to figure out.
On another note, I figured it out. I was unaware of the need for a special type of program that extracts RAR files. So when I was doing the normal extract, I guess it wasn't actually extracting. Very impressive game. Thanks.
i use to be able to run the game by clicking on the executable file but now it just takes me to the launcher. can't figure out how to play the game.
sorry to bother but I am able to start the game and play it in campaign for a few turn but the game keeps crashing saying uh-oh don't know why but the game is exiting sorry any ideas.
I get the same problem, but I really want to play this mod....
torrent?
i cant download this it stays on 0 mb when downloading
im clicking the "Executable" but is just the launcher that coming up and when i click play it isent ther
Musickman101 explained how to install if you are having problems with a steam installation.
"After installation, and playing. This mod is very creative and new to the Total War player, with new factions and new map. I started a campaign On YouTube: Youtube.com
If installation is still unclear (from reading some posts), what I did was use a free version of WinRar to open. A folder will with the name "Planet War" will appear and you select that folder and extract it to your medieval 2 mods folder in your steam files. After extracting, name one of your kingdoms campaigns to something random, then rename the Planet War folder to the campaign folder you renamed. (For ex: if you renamed your folder "americas", then rename Planet War to "americas", then launch through steam.
This mod is very different and creative. Maybe a new patch could add custom music, as well as quotes. But a very good job all in all. Plan on continuing my Human Empire Campaign going on YouTube.
Thank you developer." (quoted from Musickman101)
i am not sure if this question has been answered but if it has i am sorry ive used 2 types of programs to try and get the mod to work but for some reason when i look for the "Executable" file it seems to have disappeared but i have seen it before i did all the winrar stuff after i copy and paste the file to the mods file then try to extract it i have used 7-zip and now ive switched back to winRAR. do you have any suggestions or help or videos that can help? much appreciated.
scratch that last comment i finally got it to work it is really an amazing piece of work
when i click executable it says cannot find kingdoms.exe? How to fix this ?

Do you have a torrent download mirror? Because when i download from moddb my download gets corrupted every single time i downloaded 4 times the mod and always corrupted.
Launcher?
it says "with patch 4.30" does that mean i dont have to download version 3 anymore? or did it mean the 4th patch for the first version?

Do i still get the other 2 downloads or just this??
This is the original version. The V2 download will upgrade it to version 2. The V3 download will upgrade it to version 3. V2 and V3 are patches to overwrite the original files.

I am not really a good computer guy, and I don't understand one thing: when I download the file, what is the program I've gotta use to install the game? Sorry if my english isn't really good
Just extract with WinRar and put the folder named "Planetwar" in your "Mods" folder.
I rate 10/10
ive found the mathmatical equation for this mod:
star wars + total war games before they became **** x cocaine divided by glitches + humor=planet war

how do you install this mod because I didn't get a folder when I installed it I got a rar so what do I do.
It keeps saying that it cannot find kingdoms.exe I clearly have Kingdoms. Why is it doing this?
Holy **** i figured it out. The "cannot find kingdoms.exe" problem. Apparently the game folder Planetwar is inside the other folder PlanetwarTotalWar which wont let the game find the kingdoms.exe. You just got to move the folder out of the other one and bam done. No idea why this game was put into a folder that wont let the game play. Just thought i should share with all the other people who couldnt get it to work.
Well this one looks promising.I hope it works!
hi smolka,
just wondering why you have downgraded the scorp faction compared to patch 3. Were they too good or something. they looked better in ver 3.
No offence.
When I click executable it says cannot find kingdoms.exe. What I can do?
