Thanks Verrucosus .. I'll read the beginners guide. As far as my MTW manual goes, I loaned it with the game to a young man this past summer. He went off to school someplace and never returned them. I called his home and asked his parents if they would ask him about the game, as I would like to have it back. They never got back to me. So, I was at Walmart and picked up the game for $10.00. This wasn't anything but 2 CDs and No Manual.

I have a newer computer now and I had a heck of a time getting MTW to install. It kept asking me to insert the correct CD and once it worked, but quickly crashed back to the desktop. I did an uninstall / some temp-files cleaning / Registry cleaning / Shut everything down I could and did a reinstall. I guess I got it, but haven't applied the patch yet.

I wonder if there is an online Manual for MTW-1? The beginners guide mentioned reading it from cover to cover and then come back to the guide.

Thanks for the info .. Martok

I'm looking around for them. Collectors Edition is rare and not available on most of the "buy" sites I have accounts with. mainly - Ebay & Amazon. Seen the Viking invasion Ex-pack for around $30.00 plus $3.00 or so for shipping.

Total War Eras -- £15.00 out of UK. (On Game UK.)
Medieval Battle Collection -- 20.99 US (Amazon)

Medieval: Total War Gold Edition -- a few of these CD & DVD versions and some as retail box set. Most seem to be UK versions. UK versions ok?
They sell for around $11.00 each. (meaning for both MTW & VI.) CD or DVD or does it even matter?
