Modding?

[Globe]

Hey, I have got Medieval Total War + Viking Invasion and I just saw that you can play with the horde as well, but i cant. So what do you have to do so you can play with the mongols, as well as the serbs and others..?

You will need to install a modification. For your purposes, the Golden Horde and Serbia, the Medieval Total War XL modification would probably be the most suitable. Go here and read this thread, there is a download link near the end somewhere for the latest version: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=31201

Remember that installing a modification permanently overwrites your game files and renders old save game incompatible. The only way to return to "vanilla" game is to uninstall and reinstall.

Or use a mod-switcher (e.g. this one), by far the more convenient solution. install a patched, but un-modded MTW:VI on your computer, make a file snapshot with the mod-switcher and then install mods at ease in a special subdirectory. each time you want to enable/disable a mod, run the mod-swithcer, then make your choices and wait a couple of minutes. eeeaasy!

Ok, just installed it and I came till thank you for using blablabla...) So if i start it up with my original game it will get new playable factions?

[Globe]

Well, started up it.. problems :( :

1: I have german version, and NO im not german! But how do I change the language. The problem is that with an other language you get everywhere (!! ... !! ) Cannot translate problem :(

2: Ok, I can see which faction is which cause of the colours.. I choose the Serbs. So you get that waiting thing. It is at 1/3 and than you get unknown error, I waited 4 minuts and when I putted on the 'enter' button it went full. But then I came to resume game ... end blablaba and clicked Resume.. so whats the problem?! I had only rebels.. :( :( HEEEEELP no good :(

Find the subfolder Medieval/Loc/Eng and copy all its content and insert it into Medieval/Loc/German.
That should take care of the text errors.

Ok, thanks. But now I've founded Medieval/loc/English and the German one. So what has to go what cause in German there are English files.

[R'as al Ghul]

Just copy all files from Eng into German.

Make a backup copy first: Select the German folder and right click, select "copy" (Kopieren) and then "paste" (einfügen). Voila, a new folder named "copy of Eng" (Kopie von Eng).

Now go into the folder Eng and select all files (CTRL+A or STRG+A), then copy them to the clipboard (Zwischenablage) by pressing CTRL+C or STRG+C, now go into the German folder and press CTRL+V or STRG+V to paste (einfügen) the files.

It doesn't matter if the files in German have english file names, the programmers are british after all.

Ok, thanks. But i still dont follow it yet, it gets wrong at "paste at clipboard"
Which clipboard do you mean? As further all thing above it got well except that

[R'as al Ghul]

Any time you copy something on your computer, the copy is stored in the clipboard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipboard_%28software%29
It's like a virtual storing space.
So, when I said "copy to clipboard" I could've just said "copy".

Do you still have those text errors?
