File Instructions:: Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod Final

What is Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod Final?
This is the second and final version of my Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod. There will be patches to follow if needed but no more full versions! You may have already downloaded my previous mod version and patches. Uninstall them now as there are many improvements in this final version. The previous mod and patches are now obsolete. I decided to release my Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod to the community as there are so few major mods out for the expansion. This mod uses the Retrofit mod as a base and adds the 2 new factions from the Kingdoms crusades campaign (Kingdom of Jerusalem and Antioch). I have also added every new unit from the crusades campaign and made many new improvements as well as adding some of the best ideas from the best mods around. I aim to try and not lose the flavour of the original game to much. And have therefore not added any new graphics into this mod at all! The only new features are taken from Kingdoms including new interfaces, movies, sounds and events. This mod plays and feels just like the original campaign, except for being better. The mod also uses the Bigmap, which has been modded and improved by myself.

Installation Notes (Please read all of this)
This mod will not work without Medieval II Total War Kingdoms installed! You do not need the game unpacked. The installer has been made as simple as possible to use. Just make sure you install to this directory path if thats where the main game is installed C:Program FilesSEGAMedieval II Total Warmodskingdoms_grand_campaign_mod. Important when you have installed the mod and play it for the first time it will build the new map. Dont worry about when you choose a faction and hit the start button! It is not a crash wait a few minutes and it will load eventually. Next time you start a campaign it will load straight away.

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD TO THE WRONG PLACE, INSTALLING TO PATH C:Program FilesSEGAMedieval II Total War WILL OVERWRITE THE MAIN GAME AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS UNINSTALL PROBLEMS.

To uninstall the mod run the uninstaller in the start menu and then delete the folder kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod. A mod shortcut can be found in the kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod folder. You can place this on your desktop if you wish.
