'''creating an exe file with io.file_first for kigdoms'''

well since all the kingdoms levels are loaded from the launcer in order

to load the file_first option you need to create a shortcut exe file or

load them as mods

in this page i will only explain how to create an exe file

to create a shortcut file for any of the kingdoms Mods all you need to do

is :

'''1.'''create a shortcut for the kingdoms exe file

'''2.'''right click the shortcut and click on properties

'''3.'''in the destination line where its says path\Kingdoms.exe add the following :

\kingdoms.exe --io.file_first --features.mod=mods/NameOfMode

for instance if MTW2 is installed on c:\Games\MTW2 and i want to load crusades

C:\games\MTW2\kingdoms.exe --io.file_first --features.mod=mods/crusades

this will allow you to mod kingdoms using the files unpacked fro the pack files without creating any CFG's or mod folders

hope you find this helpfull

87.68.67.199: /* Campaigns */

==Overview==
===Campaigns===

:''See main article: [[:Category:M2TW Kingdoms Factions|M2TW Kingdoms Factions]]''

use the following to create exe shortcuts for kingdoms with i.o first

[http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Kindoms_batch]

Kingdoms has four completely new campaigns each with its own unique campaign map. They are:
**[[The Britannia Campaign]]: With [[England (M2TW Kingdoms)|England]], [[Wales (M2TW Kingdoms)|Wales]], [[Scotland (M2TW Kingdoms)|Scotland]], [[Norway (M2TW Kingdoms)|Norway]], [[Ireland (M2TW Kingdoms)|Ireland]]. All of them are trying to gain dominance over the British Isles.
**[[The Crusades Campaign]]: Two alliances fight against each other: The [[Kingdom of Jerusalem (M2TW Kingdoms)| Jerusalem]] and the [[Principality of Antioch (M2TW Kingdoms)| Antioch]] face Egypt and the Turks while the Byzantine Empire plays a neutral role. The emergent Mongol faction is hostile towards all other nations.
**[[The Americas Campaign]]: Aztecs, [[The Mayans (M2TW Kingdoms)| Maya]], Apache, Tarasken, Chichimeken, Tlaxkalteken and Spanish Settlers under Cortés struggle for supremacy in the Americas. New France and New Britain are emergent factions which will appear later in the game.
**[[The Teutonic Campaign]]: The Teutonic Order, the Holy Roman Empire, Poland, Lithuania, Denmark, Novgorod and Norway fight for control over the Baltic Sea and northeastern Europe.

===New Features===
*'''Moats''' added around castles
*'''Special Abilities''' for the historical persons in the 4 campaigns
**Richard I of England can collect fleeing troops
**Emperor Manuel of Byzantium can "confuse" enemy units so that they start to fight amongst themselves.
*The campaigns have different targets and a different way of playing it. In the Eastern, the religion plays a big role (because of unrest and unit development -> you can only build Teutonic knights in a Catholic area) in the New World if you play the Spanish have only few Units and you have to look for alliances and trading routes.
*More units on a battlefield.
*Forts with water around it and permanent forts. The latter can also be conquered and used by other factions.
*More and different mission targets: A noble man appears and asks for your help in a combat. If you are successful, your reward will depend on how many enemy soldiers you killed.
*In the Britain campaign, England's enemies can form an alliance with renegade English aristocrats. They will ask for help with conquering a town. If the player complies and gives the town to them after the victory, they will found a new anti-English faction: the "Baron's Alliance."
