Kingdoms Patch doesn't work

I might be doing something wrong here...

I already had my game files unpacked (for modding) before I applied the update. I updated my game to 1.05 and it says this in the game options area.

But I reloaded a saved game and my Teutonic Order Faction Leader still shows the same model as the other generals on the campaign map. I don't get that cool model when you first start up a game.

Does this update not apply to old saved games?

AFAIK you have to start a new campaign to get any of the changes. Not save game friendly I am afraid.

So does that mean I have to unpack the game files all over again?

The patch says it fixes some attack and defense values for some units.

If you are using the io first-first switch, meaning you have changed some text files like the EDU; yes

I've heard it is savegame compatible but I don't know for sure because I did a fresh install of both M2TW and Kingdoms and let the game patch itself before installing 1.5

Ohhh man, that's going to suck.

I know they changed some fort in the brittania campaign. Can somebody tell me what it is exactly?

I want to fire up a game now and after I re-do the unpack to make sure the update applied successfully.

(My Teutonic campaign is probably ruined, but I want to start a new Brittania campaign.)

From what I heard, it was the Crusades forts they fixed.

One of the quickest ways to see if the patch works is to start a Crusade game, play as KoJ, check your building browser, and see if you can build a King's Stables. Because they can't in the normal Kingdoms game.
