As you may already know, we have a public Github repository from which you can download early versions of our mod. Here's how to go about it.

1. Install GitHub Desktop with the installer.
2. Just skip the registration.

3. Click on Clone Repository (Ctrl+Shift+O, if you're already in the main menu and don't see this window like on the screenshot below).

4. Click URL and copy/paste in the following:

Warcraft-GoA-Development-Team/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2

5. When choosing a location for the repository, choose…

C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod

6. Check your Local path, it must show…

C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod\Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2

❗ ATTENTION! There must be your username instead of <User>. Plus, don't forget that "Users" and "Documents" folders may be translated into the language of your OS.

7. Click Clone and wait till the cloning is finished.

8. Copy and paste (do not cut and paste!) Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2.mod, located in the just downloaded Crusader Kings III\mod\Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2 folder, into the Crusader Kings III\mod folder.

❗ ATTENTION! At this point you have to have a Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2 folder and a Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2.mod file in C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod. Check them to confirm you can do the next step.

10. Done!

Q1 - I don't see the mod in the launcher.

A1 - The launcher can't locate the .mod file.

1.1 - Check that you COPIED&PASTED .mod and have two Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2.mod files. One in C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod\Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2. And the second one is in C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod.

1.2 - If you have your documents on another hard drive. For example, if you have your documents in D:/Documents, then the launcher will search for mods on that drive - your path to the mod should be not C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod\Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2, but D:\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod\Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2. Change path in the .mod file as described in A2, except the path should be D:/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2 instead of C:/Users/<User>/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2

Q2 - The vanilla game launches when I select the mod/I can't select the mod in the launcher.

A2 - There are problems with the path inside the .mod file or you have other version of the mod installed.

2.1 - Manually change the path line in Crusader Kings III\mod\Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2.mod by opening the file with a notepad to path="C:/Users/<User>/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2"

2.1.5 - If it didn't helped

Create a new mod in the launcher (all installed mods -> upload mod -> create a mod)

Images

Open newly created .mod file with any text file editor, like notepad

Also, open Crusader Kings III/mod/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2.mod with any text file editor

Copy path line from the newly created mod and use it as a replacement to the path line in the /mod/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2.mod file

Change the mod folder name in the pasted path (the word at the end of the path, before this " bracket) from whatever you named the new mod to Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2

Images

2.2 - If you have any not standard English characters in the username, such as Cyrillic script, Chinese characters or even letters like á, č, è, and so on, then create a GitHub folder in your C: drive and move the mod folder to it, so the end path for the mod folder would be C:/GitHub/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2. Manually change the path line in Crusader Kings III\mod\Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2.mod by opening the file with a notepad to C:/GitHub/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth-2"

2.3 - If you have another version of the mod i.e., you have the mod from Steam Workshop installed, remove it as it will conflict with the github version.

Q3 - The game crashes when I try to select a ruler

A3 - Same as A1.1
