Hey all just a quick one . When it comes to issues with the download I wish I could help more ,but I am not the best at computers myself. When it came to the download I just followed the steps as shown in the video. If you would like a more help with issues my advise is to head over to the creators discord which you can find the proper help this is the link www.moddb.com/mods/empire-total-war-ii, Just go on and scroll down and you will see the join discord .So if I haven't replied to one of your messages it not that I am being rude I just don't have a answer for you ,computers are a stressful things some times lol . I hope this helps .
@@marksheen4873 well my point is self explanatory is it not? Why would someone or something spend time to promote a product they dont stand to make money from? Are you familiar with the concept of a job?
@ damn dude Dead Sea salty for no reason lol but yes I am with your same logic why spend hundreds if not 1000s of hours on a mod if you’re not getting paid lol. My question was just why don’t they more often take 20 min to post a how to install video and and generally focused on praising him for doing it vs putting someone down
Thanks you very much for this video! Always concerned about installing non-steam mods but this really helped me and I'm now enjoying Empire 2 greatly! Have liked and subscribed. Also nice to hear another Welshmen on the UA-cams!👍
thanks for the vid, im fairly confident in modding but i always like to have a vid to watch, i also very much like the selection of games you have downloaded
i did a clean up of the game, reinstalled it and then installed the mod but it crashes just after starting it up is there an update or is something missing?
that i am unsure off . go onto modlib to check if there is a different link to what i have give install should be the same . if not there should be a link to their discord should have answers on there .Hope this helps
@@Moon99777 I am not sure what is going on . Without seeing how the install is going its hard to say it should be a straight forward process as it install the mod for you . Maybe on or 2 of the files are not going through due to firewall etc . when you are downloading a security shield should pop up , it did on mine at the bottom bar where the time and date is . and I had to allow certain files to come through as the fire wall stopped it .It will just say are you sure you want to allow these files to be installed, in this case you say yes.
@@KeepitFrosty1 i got what the problem was basically in the download folder that name of it is Empire at war is the base game and another file with same name with mod, u got to get rid of the stuff in the in the first file and put stuff from the second file into the first
Followed this video and did everything several times. When all done, it goes to the load screen, the backs back out to the steam menu. Gone through it with a fine tooth comb and no joy
Just installed the mod works great but was just wondering in my game it does no longer have the additional settlements in North America and upper Russia like in the old version. Have they been removed or is there a way of getting them back in? Cheers
@@sadofsad1451 I would go through everything and make sure everything is deleted and see if the game runs then after fresh install . The vanilla game. make sure your fire wall isn't stopping anything coming through. It sounds like either a file is missing or your pc is stopping a file or 2 coming through . Hope this helps .
@@KeepitFrosty1 I didn't have any warning from Firewall or similar. Vanilla works perfect (it's steam original version). I'll try reinstalling it with my protection off, just to see
I still can't get this to run, getting very frustrated as I have been playing modded total war games since Medieval 2. I've wiped the steam and appdate folders twice now, and started the game before installing but I can't get past the splash screen still. Is there a manual install download? I never seem to have issues when manually installing mods.
have you deleted everything from the the actual steam folder by going into browse data folders ? because i forgot to do that and i was having the same problem ?
Windows 10 and 11 has its own zip extractor built in that works on Winrar files as well. you shoudnt need winrar at all. (I didnt on Win 11) also.. can we talk abt how unnecessary it is to uninstall the game just to reinstall it at the start?
It's to compress the files not technically extract as it a bit file . But if it works it. Works that's the main thing . Just following the instructions of the mod but as long as it works do what's best for you .
I have only ever used DarthMod for this game... Besides the base Empire II Mod, which I downloaded and it's working, how to I get the 40 unit armies and reworked economics?
To get the 40 units etc you need to change a few setting cant really explain on here but it isn't difficult. Sure there is a video out there somewhere lol or check on the discord for the mod they should have all the info on there . Sorry couldn't be more helpful.
When i try to install the mod with the installer , for about 5 minutes it asks me for some sort of DISC . Does the game REQUIRE to be bought off steam?
Don't extract the ZIP-folder in your current vanilla Empire-folder. Once you start the installer, it will delete the mod, too. Extract it anywhere else, then it might work
@@kiIios thanks sorted it, I had to delete everything including in appdata, then reinstall, play one turn in vanilla, then extract all relevant stuff, I think I just missed a step when I first installed it.
The only thing I can think of is that some of the art packs haven't installed properly. As long as the game works properly though I would not worry its only cosmetic at the start .
Argh does it have to install to C drive (Os drive) and its 60gb? Darthmod installed just to where my Empire is installed i.e a bigger SSD games drive. Thanks for the vid though boyo.
If you have or had the darth mod installed make sure everything is deleted . And uninstall and reinstall game . Then before installing the mod make sure you run the game first . It needs to go what ever drive your empire is installed on . And yeah it is a big download I downloaded the mod yesterday again and it took a hour . I be trying to do the install again including the sub mods when I get a little time it will be soon thou just . Just make sure it mod is insatteled where the game is . Hope this helps
@@KeepitFrosty1 its saying has to install to appdata which is as you say in the vid and on my os drive which has only 45gb left!!! Bummer. P.s yeah freed up 20gb but seems am stuck.... Not sure want to delete the local/empire folder on c drive (where the scripts are etc). Usuallly mods just go into the Empire data folder where you have your steam setup.. Guess a fresh install might help.
@mauriceridesout app data is why you need to start the game after fresh install. When you do a fresh install app data will not be there . You need to start the game to the main screen then close the game then it will be there .
@mauriceridesout sorry didn't see last bit . Yes my advise fresh install of the game . And if you have had darth mod installed make sure its all gone . And follow the steps in the videos to uninstall as if you just uninstall from steam it doesn't get rid of everything
make sure yo have allowed all the files to come through as the antivirus will try and stop it . You should have a pop up saying" are you sure you want to allow" and make sure you have done a clean uninstall and reinstall of the game ,
@@KeepitFrosty1 I also crash just before the SEGA screen. Get that legal stuff screen then it just CTD. Installed it exactly as you did, after completely removing and reinstalling Empire itself, and the CA files in appdata. Dont know what Im doing wrong :/

Can you delete the empire 2 folder once its installed? Trying to conserve space lol
Yeah you can dude
GR8 VID thankyou
It worked for me, but even after installing the patch I don't own the United States, did I mess up?
I think that is something to do with the late and early campaign American would be on late campaign start .
I just get a pop up asking me to insert the next disk. Any idea?
I am not sure about that one sorry try the discord they answer questions on there sorry I couldn't be more helpful
Thanks 👍🏻
First video that actually shows me the “easy way” and works 🙌🏻
what if you have a previous version installed
Fresh uninstall and reinstall I would or you could get conflicts
Do i have to put it on desktop? my disk is full can't i just put it on an SSD or does it HAVE to be on desktop?
That's the way I found it easiest for me dude
@@KeepitFrosty1 no worries figured it out, just put it in an SSD with the empire 2 folder and made a shortcut copy to put on desktop!
What is the extractor for the files called again? It's free?
7 zip mesh it's free
so ive never seen this before but im getting errors when extracting the files? (no error description available)
yeah it says that empire 2 v4.4 bin 9 is corrupted
the installer deletes the empire folder on steam and then comes up with insert disk 1...
