re: confirmation of installationl
i can put ALL the files in a folder called VanillaMod, right?
including the cfgs, bat and read-me files.

rather than in the main MW2:TW folder as the read-me suggests:
"...copy all contents of the zip archive into your Medieval II: Total War directory..."

with the ALL the files in this folder, i'll need to edit the batch file to this:

Code:
cd..
medieval2.exe @VanillaMod\VanillaMod.cfg
is this correct?
i don't really want to merge VanillaMod with the main game as what the read-me kind-of suggests.

so, uninstalling is just a matter of deleting the VanillaMod folder.
