When Viking Invasion was first released, it updated Medieval - TW to version 2.00 and introduced the "56 year old King = dead" bug. So CA quickly released the v2.01 patch to correct this.

More recent VI CD's are already patched to v2.01, so before you patch your installation, check the intro screen when you first launch the game. If it indicates v2.01, you don't need to patch.

I have two VI CD's at home (bought the combo pack so I could have my son play multiplayer online with me) - one is v2.00, the other is v2.01, and doesn't need patching.
