Introduction
When the mod got released back in 2011 with it's fixed installation path is was completely sufficient as only the disk version was available. With the coming of the Steam version however also came a 5 level deep path that needed to be set manually. As if that was not enough some time later the two executable files of the Steam version got merged into the medieval2 file while every mod was using the kingdoms file in their launcher (BAT file).
This led to some rather cumbersome approaches to make the mod Steam compatible like renaming of a campaign folder, using the restrictive launcher option in Steam's library.
All of this has been addressed by this installer version. None of the mod's game files have been altered in any way and the 'rights' to the mod are unchanged, see here for more[www.twcenter.net]. For small changes related to the installation see the list further down.
Installing
This is one of my 'click through' installations, it comes in two parts due to the file size restriction of the installer application.
  • Run one installer at a time, start with 'part 1 of 2'
  • As long as your registry is fine the installer will find the correct installation path. If not, simply follow the instruction displayed in the installer.
  • At the end of each installation a file verification will take place, allow it to finish, check for error messages (see picture), close it and finalize the installation.
  • Steam users: no need to do anything extra - simply start the mod with it's desktop shortcut once you have run both installers.

The links are on TWCenter as it says in the description: "Steam removes these links so please check on the TWCenter page."

Those links work as of 5 minutes ago when I checked.
