Nevermind. I found what I had to do...
Sorry that it didn't work ferpo.
May I ask which version of XL you wish to download, the large version or the small version? I have attempted to upload both to a file hosting service which requires no waiting times - hopefully resolving the issue with your browser not supporting automatic refresh, henceforth allowing you to play the almighty XL in all it's glory.
If you desire the smaller version, which retains classical M:TW music and map textures, then you can attempt downloading it through this different host which has no problematic waiting times.
M:TW XL - Small Version 2.0
M:TW XL - Small Version 2.1 Patch
If you desire the larger version, which contains all of the features contained within XL, then you can attempt downloading it through the same host which, as previously noted, has no download waiting times.
M:TW XL - Large Version 2.0
M:TW XL - Large Version 2.1 Patch
Hope this helps, good luck, cheers!
That worked just fine and it is up and running.
I can't thank you enough for your efforts on my behalf.
:balloon2: :beam: :balloon2:
Now I gots me some gaming to do.
Many regards.
Ferpo
Glad you got it sorted ferpo! Enjoy XL!
I can't run it somehow. When i have downloaded it from 3D downloads and tried to open it all i got was just a note "this file contains invalid data". what did i exactly do wrong, or is 3D downloads just :daisy: up with me? :furious3:
I kinda need help, so plz help :DD
edit - please use the daisy instead of cursing - we will get the drift
Hi and welcome kaiqqlttuuri,
I'm not too sure, yet perhaps the download contained corrupted data? Just incase this was the occurance, may I suggest that you re-attempt downloading it - that should, hopefully, provide you with an un-corrupted copy, all ready to install. Good luck, cheers!
Thank you for your help but unfortunatly it didn't work :'( i even tried to download it from all the other places it was shared and same thing everywhere. Am i 'loading it wrong way or what?
If anyone has any ideas feel free to propose :)
what operating system are you using?
which decompression program?
all decomressions programs claim to be able to unzip/unrar each others files,
but that is not always true

Hey all, I just downloaded the mod, and I gotta say, I'm having a blast! I'm on my first campaign and I decided to go with the Golden Horde(go figure). Currently, I'm having trouble stopping my fits of laughter, mostly due to the fact that I'm wiping out entire armies with just Horse Archers, something that's impossible usually. Those Mongol bows just go right through armor. And making things even more interesting is the fact that nearly everyone I've had a border with has declared war on me(Coincidentally, 4 of the 6 people who declared war on me have been wiped out). Was the AI made more aggressive in the mod, or is it just coincidence?
barocca:
I'm having windows 2000 and winZip. It didn't work so I got winRAR. But it didn't work neither. it's still giving me same annoying answer :D the game itself doesn't seem to see red about older windows, but what about the mod?
Hi everyone, this is my first post here!
Anyways, I'm in need of some help here. I downloaded the mod, and installed it in my Total War folder along with the original Medieval game. However, when I try to play, the original game plays rather then the mod! I think it might be the fact that I have the Gold Edition from the Eras bundle pack. I heard it doesn't allow mods. Is this true?
Hi and welcome Couch Potatoe,
Don't worry, M:TW Gold edition is perfectly compatible with all modifications that require a Viking Invasion installation. The only issue with it is that it inconveniently installs into a different directory to what most installers expect. This makes the installation process a little more work than normal.
To install a modification on the Gold Edition, simply utilize the installer as normal and follow the on-screen instructions. When the program asks for the location which you wish to install the mod, change the path to "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Medieval - Total War - Gold Edition". Press next and let the installer work it's magic upon your gaming files! Once it's completed its work, open up your M:TW shortcut and, hopefully, you should have a fully operational version of XL installed and ready for use.
Hope this helps you, good luck, cheers!
Question for the Modder: When playing as the Papacy; is it possible to excommunicate and call for support against other factions?
Does anyone want to make one last "improvement" of this or at least add a Welsh faction? I'm obessing there is no Welsh, when there could have been. ARGHH... OD, CD, OCD.
I'm sure Viking Horde would have no objection.
I am not the modder, but the answer to your question is deffinitely not, as this is hardcoded and cannot be modded. However, anyone attacking the Papacy will get immediately excommunicated, and the Pope can attack whoever he wants unpunished, whioch is a huge advantage IMO.Quote:

It seems to work (i.e. got the XL eras and others), but when I try to play the XL eras, there are some errors about missing Hospital.bif and Pagan Monument.bif, then it just goes back to the main menu.
Also, when I play the normal era, I can't save the game !!!
I just realised that maybe because I haven't install the full version (2.0), so just want to confirm. With the MTW-Gold 2.01, should I install XL full 2.0 then the full patch 2.1 ?
Any other link to get the 2.1 patch?
Is XL no longer available? I tried the link from Omanes Alexandrapolites's post a few posts up and the the site said it was no longer available?
Why don't you try the link on the first page ? It's still available, but you'll have to wait 6 minutes .
Haven't really tried it yet, but it finally worked on my machine. However, as I copied my old MTW folder (with saved games in it), the saving problem I reported on previous post may be because of these saved game. So my 2cents advice is to delete all saved games after doing a copied, then install XL
Sorry if this is somewhere already in this thread, but there is a small question. I downloaded the small 2.0 version, and there is a small insignificant problem. At High and Late Start there are no factional descriptions for the new ones. I checked and found that they exist in the loc folder together with the early ones, any idea why I in-game only have the ones in early?

very petty question, but when you attain victory as one of the added factions (e.g. cumans) is there some sort of doodah about how you've achieved this and that, like there is when you win as one of the original factions?
I might be wrong because ive just downloaded XL but i think there is because when you look through the files there are files the same as the original ones in the folder GameEnd eg an orih=ginal file is ALMOHADWIN.something and a new one is SCOTSWIN.something.Quote:

I can't advise you in detail about putting the Welsh in, but I have some thoughts:
XL might (or might not) have the maximum number of factions in already, if so you'll have to remove another faction as well as putting the Welsh in.
You could borrow details about the Welsh from another mod, e.g. BKB's Super mod, if BKB agrees, the Welsh are in there, units, kings, names etc.
If you examine all the text files it should be possible to work out all the stuff you need to put where.
There's probably a modding guide somewhere around that could save a lot of time ;)
In the Alchemist's Lab, there's a sticky with a guide to adding a new faction, which gives a good idea what to do. Use that with the data/units etc. from the Super Mod and it should be reasonably straightforward.
Well Mr. Smarty Pants, I would have to get permission from Viking Horde first, wouldn't I?
And I'm positive he's DimeBagHo, and with him/her/it so busy with XGM, I'm sure it will be allright.
Hi
I have no problems with people modding the XL mod as long as they use it for own use or makes a "minimod" that is installed ontop of the XL mod. The problems starts if someone copy all my work, added a few changes and then releasing it as a new mod. Minimods for the XL mod should not have XL name (no MTW XL 3.0 ect., want that name(s) for my self ~;) )
It's Viking Horde! Woooot!!! And back from the dead...
Sure, I'm sure I could get unit sizes nice and good, a bit ahistorical but fun. Not sure what else can be done though... (Perfecting perfection is pretty tough ~;) )
So uhm.. I've heard there's this RTW mod. Called XGM. Have you heard of it? ~;) Wow, I'm just glad equites are 100 strong again on huge unit size. Oh well, no point talking to myself... (can't seem to find the whistling icon)
MTW XL 3.0 mod is now finished, get it here:
http://www.mizus.com/files/files/MTW...W_XL3_Full.exe
The 3.0 version features some new unit pics, some changes to unit stats, early period start at 1080, minor bugfixes, new names for some of the factions (general names) and more.
is this the new one mate?? cane i install this over the 2.1 or must i install MTW and VI again??
