You only need 1.3 if you want to play multiplayer games with people that have the Kindoms expansion.
A drawback of patch 1.3 is that it, like Kingdoms, is infected with the Securom rootkit anti-user protection.

You can install 1.2 on the vanilla game, in fact that is recommended.

Patch 1.2 (for EU) can be found here:

I just downloaded the 1.1 patch and installed it. Can I install the 1.2 patch over 1.1?

What's wrong with 1.3? What's the Secorum rootkit anti-user protection?

It is better to install patch 1.2 over 1.0. Patching 1.1 up to 1.2 can cause a lot of problems. Unless you want to play MP games against players who have kingdoms it is better to ignore 1.3

Alright, that's mainly all I needed to know, 1.2 has the unpacker correct?

How do I uninstall 1.1?

That is the bad news. You have to uninstall M2, clean up the mess (folders, registry) ans reinstall M2. Then you van upgrade to 1.2. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it.

See the sticky about patch 1.2 and problems

I have patch 1.2

when I bought the game, as soon as I installed it, the first thing I did was to patch it

However be prepared for a huge waiting time (It took me at least 1.5 hours!), not sure if that's normal or not, main thing is though it works, so that's good.

Alright well, as much as I hate uninstalling programs and reinstalling them, I must and shall.

Downloaded 1.2 this morning, took 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Installed it through Kingdoms disk, 1.2 took 10 minutes to patch, 1.3, 15 minutes.
