Hae dudes,

Ok i'm still pretty new to this damn funky game, but being a scot i'm pretty desprate to play as a scot faction during medieval http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif my question is - is there a stable mod out there that would allow me to play as the scots, it was cool playing as the scots in the 2 historical battles, this gave me a taster & i now want more http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

Well if you have Viking Invasion, you can play as the Scots in the Viking campaign. I'm not sure about mods to play the Scots in the main campaign, but perhaps it is possible.


The scots for the VI campaign are cool though; If you haven't tried them I suggest you do. It's a shame theres not more unique units in the game, although MedMod I have heard adds a number of them. I know for sure that the Scots do get a unit called Highlanders that are pretty good. Cheap, excellent attack, strong(maybe even irresistible?) charge and they might be fast, I'm just remembering their stats offhand.

Nice to see a fellow Scot, even though I'm only about 5-10% Scottish myself, so you'd probably hardly consider me a Scot ;P.

thanx for the reply, yeah i do play VI - hehe mostly as the picts rather than scots, gotta love the mounted crossbow http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif I have heard that blind king of bohemia's mod has the scots as playable, though seems a bit unstable for now http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

well i'm 75% scotish 15% german, cool that you do have some scottish blood running through you though http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

Well I'm predominantly irish/polish/lithuanian(25% each, respectively) though I won't bore you with the family details http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif.

In BKB mod Scots have some special anti cavalry units - Scottish Pikemen and Lowland Clansmen.

Wesmod (v3.12) has a lot of new units, many of which are unique to individual factions and specific territories. This adds great flavour to the game (as opposed to vanilla http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif).

As the English, you have some fun units: Claymores, Highland Clansmen, Scotish Pikemen, Flemish Pikemen, 3 types of Longbowmen (Standard, Welsh and English), Irish Bonnachts - I could go on This is a great mod that I highly recommend.

Yeah, MedMod is great, if you are an experienced player and don't mind being regularly beaten. Quite humbling.

But in Medmod Scots aren't playable faction, in Blind King of Bohemia mod they are.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Yes the Scots are playable in my mod as are many other new factions including the Irish, Welsh, Norse and Croatians. Its only a beta, and includes only the Early campaign. It also features many new units, a playable Africa and small tweaks. Its far from finished but is stable and I hope you enjoy it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif
