Following this run the executable (`.exe`) file and select not the game but a

newly createt folder.

If you are on linux use [wine](../linux/wine.md) for this.

Following this run the executable (`.exe`) file with [wine](../linux/wine.md)

and select not the game but a newly createt folder.

|
|

immediately close without further actions.

The important files are located in a subdirectory called `mods`.

Rename all the files and directories under the `mods` folder to lowercase.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be done by running
|
|
|
|
|
`find . -depth -exec perl-rename 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;` after
|
|
|
|
|
changing the working directory to the `mods` folder.
|
|
|
|
|
`perl-rename` can be called just `rename` depending on the distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
This concludes the extra steps for linux systems.
|
|
|
|
|
Rename the directory below the `mods` folder to `third_age`.
|
|
|
|
|
`third_age` now has to be moved to the modding folder of Medieval 2: Total War.
|
|
|
|
|
This folder named `mods` too can be found on the top level of the game
