6. please help! when i click on the grand campaign in game it comes up with "please select an item from the list" please help anyone!?!
7. I followed your instructionions added permisions but still wont let me
8. Actually, you can safely move the Papal States to the playable section, but the others you can't because they have special conditions to enter the game.
9. did you at any time ever make a copy of the game to another folder? - If so, you might be editing one of the games but loading the other version? Also if you have mods installed you need to edit the specific mod file If it is none of that and it saves correctly, when you open it back up you see your changes and it just doesnt work? Doesnt work on saved games, must be new games? hmmm - cant really think of what else? What, if any of the above is true?
10. tried everything and i did allow myself to edit it but it wont do it :[
11. Cheers m8 worked a treat 
12. you can download it 
13. I follow the instructions but i mess up my medieval campaign mess up what should I do? 
14. I am :)
15. YES!!!
16. only if you mod the game - go to twcenter. net and then the M2TW section - then look for the mod section, any problems the guys there are really helpful. Some amazing mods out there! - Search youtube for M2TW Mod ;) 
17. use this and give your guys more experience to start with If you give your factions starting men all experience of 2-3 then they will be a lot sturdier than enemy troops to start giving you a boost.
18. I honestly dont know if u need the disk, I have it though? I wouldn't think so as long as the crack you use doesn't interfere with the files in any way.
19. yes, I think so - google M2TW Cheats
20. If it says read only then the security settings were not changed properly. Are you the only 1 that uses the computer, are you logged on the Administrator profile (are there other profiles on your computer) make sure it is the "Imperial Campaign" folder you change security - if still doesn't work, change every main folder security settings - right from the Data folder then the World then maps then campaign and last the imperial campaign folder- if still not work, change security on descr_strat
