List of MODs for RTW and BI

**Matteo** · 09-13-2014, 11:10

Hi everybody, when I played RTW the first time (a long time ago), there weren't so many MODs as now.

May someone make me a complete list with all MODs for RTW and BI (I don't have Alexander), maybe with a little briefing about which of them is worth to be installed (I mean if it's no longer supported or it crashes often)?

Thanks in advance to whom will help me.

Hello Matteo, welcome to the .Org

.

There are hundred if not thousands of minor R:TW modifications; so trying to list them all would take weeks. If you are just talking about total conversions, there are still a dozens to go. I doubt anyone tried them all. Try browsing our Hosted Mod forums (most of them are inactive, but Europa Barbarorum is still going) and those over at the TWC.

So all those MODs under that sub-forum...

... aren't worth to be played?

A bunch of them are very much worth being played; it's just that their forums are rarely used these days, and I haven't played them all. In fact, I've barely played any mod other than Europa Barbarorum (EB). EB is a mod that covers the same time-frame as Rome: Total War, emphasizing historical accuracy. It's a heavy mod, but with loads of historical detail.

As an alternative, there is Rome: Total Realism. The project has the same aim as EB, but it's lighter (comparatively speaking). Extended Greek mod is also popular, as is Res Gestae (the latter is best known for its improved graphics: I don't know how much gameplay has changed). For something completely different, there are Blue Lotus (a fantasy version of Asia) and Ran no Jidai (Japanese warfare during the Sengoku period). The other projects, you'll really have to check out for yourself.

By googling, I found this -> http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Released_Mods, is that updated and complete?

It was last updated in June 2013, so it won't contain more recent mods (Imperium Illyricum, for example). However, few modders are still working on R:TW, so you won't miss much. Thanks for pointing me to that page: it looks like a useful resource.
