    Err and where exactly do I find that?

    Sorry for all the questions

    What I tried was that I found the name Total War whose icon was a yallow folder, I went into it, and clicked Medieval - Total War

    And then went to "next" to start the installation.

    I tried the game and nothing changed. Same old game.

    Do you think the Golden Rule should apply to masochists as well?

    92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. yes that's right i dont listen rap..

    The standard path for MTW is
    c:\program files\activision\
    and from there on I don't know anymore. If nothing has changed in your game you've probably installed XL in your start menu folder....

    to find out your mtw directory, right-click its desktop shortcut and choose 'properties'. the following window will tell you where the .exe file to which the short-cut refers is located, and THIS is your mtw folder.

    delete the files where you first 'installed' XL in order to free up some disk space, then run the installer again and point it to your real mtw:vi dir. afterwards, run the XL patch and repeat....

    good luck & enjoy!

    Just to make sure, do I want to put it into


    Target: "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Medieval - Total War - Gold Edition\Medieval_TW.exe"

    or Start In: "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Medieval - Total War - Gold Edition"

    I am happy to say that I got this working. All seems to be well so far.

    Now I'll try the patch. What exactly does the patch do and is it reccomended for use?

    The patch fixes a few bugs, as well as adding numerous tweaks (unit rebalancing, trade income slightly readjusted upwards, etc.). You should definitely install that as well on top of the mod.

    Ok, thanks I'll download it when I have some time.

    And I thought I read somewhere that this mod had Burgundy too. But as far as I can tell, it doesen't.

    I believe Burgundy is available in the Late period only. (Never played them myself, though, so I'm not the best guy to ask.)
