OTHER NOTES
One thing to keep in mind is the MODPATH parameter is restricted to the game the Mods for so basicly the YodenMod 2017 MODPATH wont work if u start up the Base Game from shortcut or whatever cuz its meant for Forces of Corruption,u understand what im getting at?
Furthermore I recommend you make a TXT File filled with these Shortcuts,heres some blank Empire at War parameters shortcuts for u to Copy and Paste…..
Modpath=……workshopcontent32470
Modpath=……workshopcontent32470
Modpath=……workshopcontent32470
Modpath=……workshopcontent32470
And here is some blank ones to go with whatever other workshop games that can make
use of them cuz im a nice guy =)
Modpath=……workshopcontent
Modpath=……workshopcontent
Modpath=……workshopcontent
Modpath=……workshopcontent
This is the very first guide i have ever made,maybe even the last idk all feedback it VERY welcome even if i wont like it. XD
And one last thing…if you know what Aspergers is, that would make things a…..little bit easyier.
