Have you tried the link on the first page of the thread mate?

[Kara Kolyo]

Yup. Tried that first and so far it sais page cannot be oppened. i had no problems with downloading the mod itself and play it right now while waiting for EB, no problems whatsoever

Hi

Do you have to own the VI expansion for this mod?

thanks.

[r johnson]

Ok i've installed both patches and I can't get it to work, I should point out i'm not a computer genius so your reply will need to be in simply English for the simple members.

[Kara Kolyo]

Ok another question - searched the first pages but couldn't find some kind of readme for the required buildings to construct the next city level. i tried with the extra defences, but that's not it, non of the buildings shows "possible upgrade to Citadel" for example, so Help!

[axel]

Not well, i installed bkb 2.0 to file total war - mtw - mtw. Then i installed 2.1 to tw - mtw - mtw. When i came to install 2.1 there was a fourth mtw file, should i try installing to that?

E.G tw-mtw-mtw-mtw.

Why can't mods be simply?

What file do I install 2.0 to? What file do I install 2.1 to? and what do I need to do then?

[ugly demon]

I cant download the frickin mod! damn 3ddownloads keeps resetting me halfway through. is there any other link to d/l? please help.

[axel]

Hi r johnson
i installed the mod first in my total war -MTW directory then it didnt work so i installed again in totalwar -MTW-MTW then it workt fine mate see and read page 89,90,91, of this topic of myne (axel) you will see good explaning and screenshots mate.
that will help you i hope

[r johnson]

I hate news!

I took your advise and install 2.0 to tw-mtw-mtw, then 2.1 to " ". But it hasn't install the mod, I load VI and i've only got viking, early, late and high.

I fount these in startpos file, i'm happy that at least I know i'm doing something even if it's not working.

Hi r johnson
I am sorry it did nt help but
i found this maybe this will help you mate :VERY IMPORTANT - Ensure that you install it directly into your 'Total War' folder. The default installation is set for your 'Medieval - Total War' folder. This is wrong - ensure that it is installed into your 'Total War' folder, the one 'Medieval - Total War' can actually be found in.

It is highly recommended that you do it on a fresh install as it will now unfortunately harm your current game.
but look at page 90,91 i also did have a problem installing this

[r johnson]

NP axel I appreciate any advice anyone can give me. I actually want your advice, if I move the `campmap` files (pic files) to another file will it install the mod de facto style?

[axel]

Hi
no mate dont think that will help look here on this thread of me and BKB:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=30858&page=90

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I think Joms vikings are only availiable in crusades for Norway

[Mooks]

Just making sure. Do I need to download a official patch for VI before downloading thsi mod?

[Mooks]

The 2.1 patch website is broken also.

[antoniodemilich]

hi i've got new problem i which bulding can i recrtui varodatai (or sth which like this) when a play by byzantium

[seireikhaan]

Hi, trying to decide on what mod to download and I was very curious about something in the description. Where on earth do chinese fire archers appear? China's a pretty long walk away. Can anyone actually train them? Also, I noticed that there was a synogogue building. Are some of the new factions Jewish?

[Kavhan Isbul]

The Khazars are (or at least should be) Jewish, but since Judaism cannot be a major religion, they are Muslim for all practical purposes in the mod. However, perhaps they can build sinagogues. As for the Chinese units, I thing the Mongols might be able to train them - modders like the idea of giving Chinese and Korean units to the Horde to give its roster a little more depth.

As for your main question, I am going to say that this is a good mod. Here are the few things I like most about it - great variety of troops and factions, and a different map for each starting period - no other mod has the Khazars, or the Latin Empire. Incredible variety of buildings, including iron mines, fisheries and foresters. And finally, a lot of research went into names and for example the Bulgarian units have Bulgarian names instead of Greek or Hungarian ones - you might say that this is a minor detail, but I personally enjoy this game because of the atmosphere it recreates, and I prefer my heroes to have appropriate names. Overall, this mod is easier than XL, and a lot easier than MedMod.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Overall, this mod is easier than XL, and a lot easier than MedMod.

That probably depends on what faction you play as.

[Deus ret.]

I think Kavhan Isbul spoke more on general terms. Of course you're right, I once tried the Welsh in Early and found the challenge to be next to impossible, a single poor province to start out with and those mediocre troops....the English attacked me on turn 3 with a large force, game over.

What's to be noted, however, is that in the Super mod there is ample opportunity to earn money (due to some of the added buildings) while at the same time saving money (due to units not being particularly expensive to maintain). I remember playing as the English in High myself; in the developing stand-off with the French I had no less than two full stacks of quality troops in each province bordering them and yet I was still comfortably in the greens. In addition, it's somewhat easier in BKB to get a balanced and versatile army because I had the overall impression that unit rosters -among the larger powers, that is- are more balanced in terms of non-generic units than, say, they are in XL. Let alone the MedMod which has a sometimes entirely different array of units for each faction/faction group; the latter mod also has homelands to which recruitment is restricted which adds A LOT to difficulty.

Don't get me wrong, your mod is great to play and has lots of cool and unique features (those synagogues, for once, or the utilization of the forest resource), I just had the impression that it was easier to have a respected standing on the campmap than in some other mods. No quality assessment intended, period.

....which makes me want to try that Welsh campaign once again....
