This is the third full version of my Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod. This mod uses the Retrofit mod as a base and adds 7 new factions from Kingdoms into the Grand Campaign, including Jerusalem, Antioch, Ireland, Teutonic Order, Lithuania, Norway and Wales. I have also added every new unit from Kingdoms into the Grand Campaign and made many new improvements. I aim to try and not lose the flavour of the original game. And I have therefore not added any new graphics into this mod. All of the new features are taken from the Kingdoms expansion campaigns. This includes new interfaces, movies, music, sounds and events. Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod plays and feels just like the original campaign, except for being much bigger and far more challenging. The new campaign map is stunning and is at the maximum size allowed for the game. Many extra regions have been added to make the GC a truly epic TW experience.

STEAM USERS
===========

Before you download this new full mod version be aware that this installer may not work for steam users. I am sorry about this but there is not much I can do to support Steam versions of Kingdoms. If you are determined enough to play my new mod update (or any other major mods). You may want to consider buying the retail version and saving yourself a lot of hassle. Trying to get a steam version to work with this just isn't worth it imo, but good luck.

INSTALLATION
============

YOU MUST HAVE THE MAIN GAME UNPACKED OR YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A DISPLAY PROBLEM. Next make sure you have any previous versions of Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod uninstalled. Also do not forget to delete the two geography files (descr_geography_new.db and descr_geography_new.txt) in the unpacked data folder.

The Mod installs all game files into a separate mod path and does not modify any existing M2TW or M2TW: Kingdoms files. This protects the existing M2TW and M2TW: Kingdoms installations and allows multiple mods to be run from the same M2TW installation. To uninstall the mod run the uninstaller in the start menu and then delete the folder kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod.

VERSION 4.1 OVERVIEW
===================

-Aztecs can now be made playable, just put them in playable and move another faction to non playable.

-A vastly improved garrison script, now takes 10 turns until the next respawn. This allows for the surrender times of the Fortress and Large City levels. Also some cities now give a script to more than 1 faction. For example Jerusalem will now give a defensive garrison to Egypt. While Antioch and Constantinople will give scripts to the turks.
-The new world can now discovered at any time in the campaign. This allows you to rewrite history instead of having to follow historical accuracy. And it really does add a whole new dimension to many campaigns in KGCM. This also helps make the Aztec campaign work.
