The main game, under Steam, is located atĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Medieval II Total War Under that folder, it creates a mods folder and a data folder. The default install of the Third Age mod goes to:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War I was reluctant to do this in case the main medieval2.exe file updated. Many of them involved making a duplicate copy of the medieval2.exe file and calling it kingdoms.exe. It creates a desktop icon that links to the Third Age batch file that starts the mod.Īs with many Steam-based games, the boards are full of people with the same problem but a wide variety of helpful (and sometimes not-so) instructions. In fact, when you install, it confirms that you MUST install them there. When you download the files and run them in order, they install in a particular folder. The Third Age mod comes in 3 files: Part 1 of 2, Part 2 of 2, and an updater (3.2 at the moment). Like many Lord of the Rings fans, this was very appealing to our already-devoted Medieval Total War fans. One of them came across the Third Age Total War mod, which will work if you also have the Kingdoms expansion pack DLC to the main Medieval II Total War game.
