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)
Installation Instructions for the Installers
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
- Go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods
- Rename teutonic (or a one of the dlc's you wont be playing) to -teutonic
- Rename kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod to teutonic
- Launch MW2 using Steam and select Teutonic.
If you use Steam and have trouble with the KGCM 3.0 installer
Steam update removed the kingdoms.exe to fix this do the following.
- Go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War
- Make a copy of medieval2 and rename the new one to kingdoms (Files are the .exe ones)
- Launch KGCM 3.0 Installer and install.
If that does not work, you're one of the unlucky ones and you will have to do the Regedit instructions.
WARNING:

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.
If something is wrong or you want to add something please feel free to tell me.
