Kod:
INSTALLATION: 

Copy the folder and txts you find inside .rar and paste them to:

Medieval II Total War\data



UNINSTALLATION:

Whenever you dont like this mod, you can uninstall it simply opening data/BETTER_WATER/BACKUP_VANILLA_TXTS, copy the text files you find and paste them in data folder. 



REQUIREMENTS: 


BETTER WATER 1.0 to work needs that you run the game via io_file first and game unpacked
In game you have to set maximum video detail settings, to full enjoy the miniature mod


                                  
HOW TO CREATE io.file_first, NECESSARY TO LAUNCH THE GAME WITH UNPACKED GAME:


To create the .bat alternative exe of the game, io.file_first:

 To do this, copy your medieval2.preference.cfg file and name the copy "mymod.cfg"
 Then open "mymod.cfg" with a text editor and add the following to the top:

  	Quote:
 	 	 		 			 				 [io]
 file_first = 1

 [log]
 to = logs/system.log.txt
 level = * error 			 		 	 	 
 This will tell the game to use the files it finds in the data directory instead of those in the packs.
 It will also enable error logging to a custom error log, which is highly recommended, but not strictly necessary.

 In order to be able to start your game using this config, create a new text file inside your MTW2 directory called mymod.bat
 Open it (right-click, edit) and write this into it:

 	Quote:
 	 	 		 			 				
             medieval2.exe @mymod.cfg 
			 		 	 	 
 Congratulations. If everything worked, you should now be able to run the game with your unpacked files by starting mymod.bat


  now open your data directory (inside your MTW2 directory) and delete or rename descr_geography_new.db and descr_geography_new.txt (this is important - if you don't do it, your game won't run)
