After having spend the better part of two days to get the full version of this great mod working I could feel for lesser mortals without my extensive knowledge of modding. So I decided to make life a bit easier and created this installation package. Hopefully it will attract more people to this mod. Please note that changes to files are minimal (corrected formatting and size changes) and do not change the game play in any way at all.
The following CoW downloads have beeen included:
Base install 1.4
Patch 1.4.4
Music Patch
English Language patch
Other downloads from TWCenter:
German Language
French Language
Italian Language
Spanish Language
Work done:
Removed all unnecessary files (duplicates, wrongly placed, not needed)
Reduced texture sizes of strat models and buildings (reduces lag)
Enlarged radar map
Adapted checker for modelDB file and made corrections
Added my CoW language installer pack 2.0 (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=468486)
Size on disk:

Comments:
Reduction in size on disk - 3.05GB
Reduction in installer size - 1.54GB
The installer has to be in two parts because more then 2GB size is not supported by this program.
Recommendations:
If you are having an old graphic card or experience lag in siege battles try out this 'add-on' of mine: Creating a World - Reduced City Textures (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=270926), it reduces the size of the original building textures - custom building textures are already reduced in my game installation. See 'work done'.
Installation:
Download all parts (5*part1 and 6*part2) into one directory
Run the EXE of part1 (DO files will be installed automatically)
Run the EXE of part2 (DO files will be installed automatically)
Update the language installer (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=468486)
Choose your language from the shortcuts on your desktop
Important:
Both installers will appear to be frozen at the beginning for a few minutes due to some huge files being installed (animations pack and sound pack respectively).
DO NOT cancel the installation unless you get an error message!
