How to play custom Battle with the Medieval 2 Total War demo

This was written in November 2006, since then the mod don't seem to be available anymore.




Some people asked me how to make a custom battle with the Medieval 2 Gold demo. So here are what I found.

Here is how to play custom battle with Medieval 2 Total War Gold Demo.

First thing is to actually have the Gold demo
you can get it there:
Medieval II: Total War Gold Demo

Then, you must make sure you have the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package


Then download the the mods: MTWII_GoldDemo_CustomBatt4.exe

(it's no more available, so you will need to find it by yourself, if it still exist somewhere)

With the installer

Extract MTWII_GoldDemo_CustomBattlesMod_V4.exe into the folder:
english:
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War Demo Gold
german:
C:\Programme\SEGA\Medieval II Total War Demo Gold

There you have the file MedBattleSelector.exe. Start the game with it (not with the standard MTWII exe) and choose in the scenarios
- Agincourt
- Pavia
- otumba
- hastings_tutorial
the wanted battle.

The original pack file will be backuped (bak file) and the choosen battle will be inserted in the pack file.

To restore the original 3 Sega battle setup, push the restore backup file

More details about the selector in the file: MedBattleSelector.txt
