INSTALLATION
- Install MTW II
- Install Patch 1.02 or 1.03
· IMPORTANT: Make sure there is no old SicilianVespers folder in your Medieval II Total War folder
before attempting to install (Uninstall or Delete them)
· Not save compatible with SV 2.0 or earlier versions
· Your original M2TW files will not be changed, SV 2.5 creates a seperate installation path which
includes nearly all changed files: except a necessary new small folder SicilianVespers in the
standard data path, and the vanilla .SD files in dataui.
· Execute file SicilianVespers_2.5_Install.exe and enter the correct path for the installation
Example: C:Program FilesSEGAMedieval II Total War
· The automatic setup creates a desktop icon, a program icon and an uninstall option
· To start the game doubleclick
on the The Sicilian Vespers 2.5 desktop icon
or the program icon
or the Launch_SicilianVespers.bat in the path C:Program FilesSEGAMedieval II Total War (default
path...you may have changed this to your custom path during installation)
THE SICILIAN VESPERS LAUNCHER
- The 'Era Selection' menu is used to prepare the game files for whichever era you are playing in.
- You should use these option until a 'Dynamic' event occurs.
- *** SELECT MENU OPTION 1 ON THE IN-GAME EVENT SELECTION MENU WHEN STARTING MIITW. ***
- The 'In-Game Event Selection' menu should be used when an in-game event instructs you to do so.
- These 'Dynamic' events allow us to change faction names based historic events.
