Bad Product - Error Made by Activision [Posted on 2006-07-03]
Activision and SEGA, who created the Gold Edition made a major error with this product. When downloading the 2.01 patch to play Multiplayer, the game does not recognize the Gold Edition as a Medieval Total War or Viking Invasion game (since this is a 3-CD set) and will not install. An unofficial patch has been created, but you will never be able to play Multiplayer with this "Gold Edition". I mailed SEGA/Activision with a complaint about this failed product and their failure to fix the error, and I was supplied with another copy, which was the Medieval Total War: Battle Collection" copy. I do not advise purchasing this error-ridden product.

I played this game years ago and loved it. I figured I'd have another go and bought a copy. Unfortunately it will not run on my system. The problem persisted after installing the 2.01 version. Searching the various message boards suggests that the problem is common, as well as apparently a number of other bugs. I found this game extremely disappointing.
