[Viksteri]

I know that I've posted an comment about this already but I have done it like in the Get Milkys advice but this kingdom exe what is it and can I do anything to it when I just putted my med2 on steam and it just gave me the dlc for free so what can I do?

[CakeWalk]

You're tried to start Third Age and it says kingdoms.exe not found or something like that?

[Viksteri]

yes just like that

[CakeWalk]

Just go in the third age file in mods and edit the file called Third Age. it is a bat file which you can open with notepad or notepad ++. There just one line : start kingdoms.exe @mods\Third_Age_3\TATW.cfg
Change kingdoms.exe to medieval2.exe and you're good to go.

Mate all you got to do is this:

1. Go to Medieval 2: Total War Folder in Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Mdeieval II Total War

2. Find your medieval2.exe application.

3. Copy this to your desktop.

4. Rename this .exe file to kingdoms (if that doesn't work rename it to kingdoms.exe)

5. Drag it back into your main Medieval II Total War Folder.

6. Sorted. Play any bloody mod you want. None of that editing a file stuff.
