Turns out i've been punching first, asking questions later.
I simply had to change the AD092(As it appeared in the archive) folder's name to AD. This way, when i extracted it to \MTW2\AD, the two folders merged and i was able to play.
I still did not encounter any .BIN files. only simple text files. But hey.
I'm currently playing as the byzatines, and enjoying it. Glad to have those titles back. This reputation system does seem to be working. My general has full command, chivalry, and influence. He's carries the legacy of the roman emperors, and is the king of serbia. Requests for alliances by the catholic factions came pouring in and i accepted hungary and Poland. despite them being of other religions. turned down england and france.
One thing that seems rather weird however, is the egyptian and Seljuk jihads on ikonium. I defeat them, but the leader survives, or is released after being captured. He retreats all the way back to the middle east, only to return the turn after. This really helps to turn my horse achers into elites and all, but there is something wrong here. They dont seem to attack the city if i await their onslaught, and the troops do not desert. this has been going on for at least 10 turns now, and distracts the islamic nations from defending the holy land from crusades. Jerusalem was conquered by the hungarians, but revolted. there was but a tiny garrison.
Apart from that, this mod (though, as complex as what we might expect from the EB team, if they ever finish the RTW mod) made me change my mind on mtw2. I was shure i was tricked into buying a piece of software with an impressive name, but lowsy content. Thank you for the effort, and props on the campaignmap. keep up the good work.
