INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: LOTR-TW OPEN BETA 2.0

1. You must first have Rome Total War: Alexander already installed!
2. Run LOTRTW_v2.0_OB.exe
3. Make sure you point the installer to your Rome - Total Rome folder
4. Once installed, right-click and drag your RomeTW-ALX.exe to the desktop and Create Shorcut
5. Right-click on the new short-cut and choose Properties
6. In the "Target" window in properties, ADD this line at the end (there is a space before the dash -):
-mod:alexander/lotrtw so the line may look like this:

"C:Program FilesActivisionRome - Total WarRomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:alexander/lotrtw

note that it may not look exactly as that. DO NOT CHANGE OR DELETE ANYTHING BETWEEN THE QUOTATION MARKS.

7. Once done, right-click again on the short-cut and rename it to LOTR-TW

You're done and can play "The Lord of the Rings: Total War" 2.0 Open Beta.

8. Optional: if you want to have the opening movies of the mod to be LOTR-TW as well, just go into your Rome -Total War folder and run the file Opening_Movie_Swapper.bat
It will swap the original movies with LOTR-TW movies. If you want the original movies back, just run the file again. None of the files are deleted, they're only swapped around.

9. There's a music pack available as a separate download.
