Installation (Windows)
For Windows guides follow the official installation guide at MOD DB.
Installation (Linux)
The installation guide for this mod is based on
Laetus'
post in the Total War Center Forum and assumes Medieval 2: Total War was
purchased via Steam and being on a linux system.
For installation the latest version needs to be downloaded from
MOD DB.
Following this run the executable (.exe) file with wine
and select not the game but a newly createt folder.
The executable will create many files in the directory.
At last it will open a dialog for large adress awareness, which you can
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.
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
directory.
Lastly you need to change the launch options in steam.
Open Properties of Medieval 2: Total War and set the launch options under the
general tab to --features.mod=mods/third_age
