Welcome to the .Org, Aminos20!

For the original MTW, I'm pretty sure you need copies for each mod you want to run. Fortunately, it's an easy thing to do, you don't have to muck with registry entries or anything like that. Just a fresh, patched MTW/VI install. I keep a "spare" fresh copy for this purpose, it's only 1.9 Gbytes. My directory structure looks something like this:

Code:

D:\games\Total War\
    Medieval - Total War
    Samurai Warlords
    Medieval - Total War - Copy

are you sure there's no other way. because i play medieval total war in a pc with 80 go only

To my limited knowledge, no. I believe there are a few files that the game is hardcoded to use, changing these for a mod would mean you would have to have a script that copies these files around based on mod requirements. projectile_stats.txt is one file that comes to mind, and it's a fairly common file to mod (describes the capabilities of missile weapons in the game).

Hello Aminos20,

Unfortunately the only way to install MTW vanilla and mods - or multiple mods is to copy the entire game directory every time and then install the mod to that.

If you try to do this any other way you will end up with a nonfunctional install.
