I havent been here for a while now, and it seams that there are just too many mods.
I got lost completley.
Can any one sugest (sp) what mod to download. I have just finnished my second BI campaign and have never tryed any of the mods.
What are the best mods to try out and enjoy.

You can read about different mods in the Mod Database (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?catid=94). Try the ones that interest you. There is no best mod, just mods that are best for you. Oh, and keep backups.
OK maybe I asked the wrong question.
Not interested in the best mod but the mod you enjoyed the most. I am not opssesed with the history accuarcy or the facts that one unit is not behaving like it really did.
I am just looking for a mod that I can enjoy and stick with for the long run.
I suggest Rome Total Realism, increasing history does not reduce game play, IMO RTR's gameplay is much better than RTW's.
Give it a go :)
PS. May I suggest the unofficial "platinum edition", it is RTR Gold but just ported to 1.5 patch.

Anything based on IceTorque's big map
From his signature:
WarMap v1.5 for RTW v1.5: For the least micro-management, and the most consistently challenging Campaigns and Battles.http://www.twcenter.net/downloads/db/?mod=767
BI-WarMap II for BI v1.6: Large scale strat map, all factions playable, 199 regions, custom combat stats.

I think Webbird's mods use amended version and BareBones I think also uses it.
Having tried big map I can't go back to vanilla.

Rome Total Realism is a very good choice
Blue Lotus, although still in the open beta stage, is an absolutely incredible mod. Worth looking at for anybody, I'm a RTR nut but Blue Lotus pulled me into its gaping maw in a heartbeat...it won't let go..well..except when it ctd's O.o but they're working on that. lol
