Yet another noob emerges

[venex]

Well hello, I thought I'd make my first post here (that box on top of the screen works pretty hypnotizing, now doesn't it? ~D ).

I've found these forums through google, in search of some mods vor M2TW, and this seems like an ok place to check out every once in a while...
Normally I'm more into FPS (I really don't like those "clickfest" strategy games:inquisitive: ), but this changed when I bought MTW1 about a year ago: "hey, I like the image on the box, and it's only 3 euros, it's no big waste if I don't like it" ~D
I fell in love with the game, and thus I simply HAD to buy M2TW!

I've been able to amuse myself with the vanilla version for some time now (though I haven't come round to gaming all that much, it's been a busy couple of months lately...), but I'd like to try out some mods now, and as I stated before: It's this that has lead me to these forums.



Maybe a few things on myself:
I'm from Belgium (certain errors in my English probably already exposed me as a foreigner:clown: ), I live in a town called Genk (somewhere south-east of Antwerp) though I only just recently moved here with my g/f...
I'm Flemmish, which basicly means I'm a Belgian whose native language isn't French, but Dutch (though it's very different from the Dutch spoken in the Netherlands :yes: ).
The "weirdest" thing about me would probably be that I'm a passionate baseballplayer, which can be frustrating when you live in a part of the world where 90% of people have no idea this game even exists ~;)

Welcome to the org venex:2thumbsup:

~:wave: Hello welcome to the Org.

As of right now I don't think M2 has many mods out the only one I can think of is Lands to Conquer, which is really fun for me. If you search around you'll probably find some others hidden away that I haven't found.

Welcome to the Org, Venex!

Always great to see new members on the boards!

Welcome Venex!

Van harte welkom venex ~:wave:

Na een tijdje zal je merken dat er hier nogal wat Nederlandstaligen rondlopen. De meeste zijn Hollanders die ervan houden om eens flink te worden uitgelachen door hun superieure zuiderburen :grin:

Have fun!

~:cheers:

[venex]

hehe, ja ik heb bij het verder lezen van dit forum wel al gemerkt dat er toch meer Nederlandstaligen zijn dan ik verwacht had ^ ^
In tavern-frontroom-nationalitiy topic is BE+NL na de Engelsen het best vertegenwoordigd denk ik:beam:

Maar ik heb de Noorderburen best wel graag, 'tis alleen spijtig dat ze bier en afwaswater niet zo goed van mekaar weten te onderscheiden :clown:




@ Ichigo:
As a matter of fact I think I've already found some mods I like. Lands To Conquer is definately on my list, along with Stainless Steel. I would also like to find Medieval Classic somewhere (though I'm not sure if it is in fact finished or updated or whatever :/ ), if it really succeeds in bringing the atmosphere of MTW1 to M2TW it could be fun, since I did like the "darker" feel of the first game better...

I also heard there's a mod that replaces the Flemmish rebel faction by a playable faction, an well...I sort of feel ethnically obliged to give that one a try ~D

Welcome, venex. Good to see another Belgian here; Andres can always use the extra company. ~D

Dan ben ik één van de "weinige Nederlanders" die het bier slecht vindt. Niet dat Belgisch bier altijd zo goed is. Nee: geef mij liever in het algemeen stout bier. Extra stout, maakt niet uit welk merk, als het maar goed bier is.

Welkom, venex, en dat je verblijf lang mag zijn.

(I'll start writing in English again)


Well I have to agree with you Bijo, we do have some pretty crappy beers (Stella, Cristal, Primus :skull: ), but hey: we make AL LOT of beer, not all of them can be as magnifficent as Hoegaarden, West-Vleteren, etc.
can they? ~D
And I'm still saying that Brand, Grolsh or Heineken aren't any competition for the average Belgian beer :yes:
Though I do kinda like Grolsh' Herfstbok...
BTW: Heineken truly most be one of the most overrated things in the world ^ ^


But yeah, I like stout better too.
So at the end of the day: Guinness FTW!

[Bijo]

True regarding Heineken. It is rubbish. That's what I call piss water.

Don't you dare to convert the Belgian padawan to Cameldom :brood:
Who, me? I'm shocked -- shocked, I say -- that you would ever conceive I might do such a thing! [looks innocent]

Welcome!

[master of the puppets]

yes welcome, please drop into the tavern every so often, it's great to have fresh meat to rip on in the backroom
:evilgrin:

Well, it looks like it might be a while before I'm actually allowed to post in the tavern :juggle2:

Normally it takes 3 or 4 weeks and posting on a more or less regular basis to be promoted to member.

In the meanwhile, you can post everywhere with the exception of the miscealleanous part of the forums.

Karolol, waar in West-Vlaanderen? Ik moet 1 van de enigste Limbrugers zijn die het West-Vlaams vlot kan meevolgen ~D ('k heb van zijn leven nog een klein jaar in Zedelgem gezeten)


Well, if you say sicilian vespers is good, I guess I'll give it a try. I know TWCenter, but I haven't paid any attention to that mod yet...I've only tried Stainless Steel so far, but I should be having some more time this week (or at least more time AND more "goesting" :beam: ) so I guess I'll come round to it pretty soon. I'm actually glad that it's weekend now, one week of babysitting a bunch of overenthousiastic children would actually be the one thing that's even more exhausting than a regular work-week :clown:

Welcome, Venex....


(certain errors in my English probably already exposed me as a foreigner )

Uh, no, you write quite fine English :bow:

... it was the "3 euros" that gave you away :laugh4:

Mmmmm, Hoegaarden - you're making me thirsty ~:cheers:

Enjoy your stay @ the Org, and don't forget to try some of the excellent mods available for MTW1, as well...

k woon in kortrijk en als je tijd hebt moet je echt sicilian vespers echt uitproberen ze werken met verschillende eras, en het is goed om iemand te zien da west-vlaams kan verstaan kinderen kunnen uitputtend zijn vooral als er 1 maar dan is en ze ook nog jong zijn
