Reduction in size on disk - 2.92GB (present = 9062MB) Reduction in installer size - 0.24GB (present = 5140MB) The installer has to be in three parts because more then 2GB size is not supported by the installer program.

Recommendation:

To avoid problems with future patches and other modding related problems apply this tutorial from step 3 onward. Steam Users - please read this tutorial before installing: Creating a World - Mod Install for Steam

Installation: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Download and extract the torrent file Run the torrent file with your preferred torrent client Run the EXE of part1 (DO files will be installed automatically) Run the EXE of part2 (DO files will be installed automatically) Run the EXE of part3 (DO files will be installed automatically) Download and install the patches (once we have some ) Start the game

Remarks for installation: It should not be necessary to change the install directory unless it shows 'MyProduct' in the path. This means that the registry entry could not be found - either the registry is faulty or you are running a 64 bit system. If MyProduct shows in the path, point the installer to the main directory of M2TW, not the mods directory! Do not cancel the installation unless you get an error message or your hard drive light has stopped flickering some files are very big and it might appear that the installer is frozen.

Error reporting 1. General = Due to a drain on resources the error log has been set to 'error' - the lowest setting. To find errors that are not obvious in the 'error' log, kindly set your log to 'trace' and then compress and attach the error log after a crash. 2. Finding the log = it will be in the ...\Medieval II Total War\logs folder 3. Setting the log to trace = open Configuration.cfg (in the Rage_of_dark_Gods main folder) with Notepad. In the [log] section, remove the hash ( # ) in front of the trace line and add a hash in front of the error line, save. The log will become rather big, but compressing will reduce it to approximately 5-10% of it's original size. 4. Provide details what happens, when it happens and which version (see option screens, 'Gig version number') you are running
