Hi all.  Since I'm modding both BoW and Expanded, I decided to move this topic here.

Great addon for BoW, NCrawler.

I have a question, the music  in the setup of BoWEx comes from the game steel panther no? When i heard this music it remember me this game I have played a lot there are several years now.

Yep, Steel Panthers...  I have all of the music from all three of the SP games, from the original releases.  Later releases of the game did not include any music on CD and they finally released the source code to Matrix Games when I worked there.  I asked about the music and as far as SSI was concerned, we could use it as we wanted...

After comparing the sizes of the 2 versions I assume that I need to install BoW first before installing this mod over it. Right?

No you don't need to. It has included BoW in it, so you don't need to waste time downloading these two files

Ok, thanks for the reply, I was pretty sure it was this.

I play or try to play with the Rodhoks (the first time i use their soldiers) and...they sucks! Why the sergent doesnt use a big polearm instead of a 2h or 1h/shield. Versus the swadian cavalery they cant do anithing even in good defensive position. Will it be possible to add a sergent spearman with hallberd or pike? If no, well I'll remount my horse and change side  .

Quick question:  So your heroes actually upgrade with the new sea raider and pirate gear?
Last version I played, I had to disable the auto-upgrade to force my heroes to use their balanced sea raider swords and war axes.

Why does it keep saying the scene file is missing? It says it doesn't exist, and so all town scenes are screwed up.

Here's what I did:

1) Band of Warriors is located at C:/program files/Mount and Blade.903/Mount and Blade/Modules/Band of Warriors
2) I downloaded expanded to the modules folder in .903, but it kept looking for a .900 folder, which doesn't exist. At least, I renamed it .903
3) When I downloaded, it said it couldn't locate scenes in the .900 folder, which I renamed .903

That's because it's still showing the .900 folder in the registry.  You can either fix it manually, or uninstall and then reinstall M&B to fix it...
