Multiple Installations of MTW:VI?

[Dub]

Hey All, This is my first post ever. Been lurking in the shadows for over a year, and mighty happy finally to be an official part of things. I've learned a lot from these discussions; this site has made my experience with the TW series an even better one. In fact, sad to say, I almost enjoy looking through these different threads as much as playing the game (clearly, I'm out of control with this game!). I'm ruggedly committed to MTW:VI, though I did purchase RTW and played it for a while. Been experimenting with mods for a while now... Love XL. I'd like to try Hellenic Total War but I can't figure out how to install a fresh new version of MTW:VI... Am I overlooking the obvious (as I've so often done with this game!)? Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers, Dub

Hehe I had the same touble myself. I now have three versions installed on my PC, on for Basic MTW for online, one for Basic MTW:VI Online and one for the XL Mod.

What you do is:-

1.) Re/install MTW but when it specifies the folder rename it something like MTW:for Hellenic, it should still install in the Medieval folder in your program files;

2.) then install MTW:VI and when it tries to find a copy of MTW browse your self and find the one you installed in step 1.), install it over that (you can rename this one aswell, maybe, dunno =/ )

3.) now install the hellenic mod on the one installed in step 2.)

A bit long but that's how I got XL Mod installed onto a seperate version to the others. Even though I didn't really need to. But at least I have vanilla (albeit patched) versions of them now, just in case.

If you want to have several mods installed (and you have a large harddisk), you can first install a clean MTW:VI + patch, then rename the folder to e.g. "C:\Program Files\Total War\Clean game". Then each time you want to fool around with a new mod, simply make a copy of the clean game folder, and install the mod to that. It's a bit faster than installing a new game everytime.

is it possible to save a mod to a disk or flash drive or cd and then use it on another computer that has MTW (that isnt hooked up to the net)?
