Any good mods around

[18zulukiller]

Does anyone know of any good mods around say with a larger world map + more units + more factions ???.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Try Lands to Conquer or Stainless Steel, they seem to be quite popular.

You may also try The Long Road which has 21 factions more (and new) merc units recruitable through a new building (like in MTW IIRC) and a large map going as far east as Iran.

It also add transferable titles and new color schemes for the factions...

All in all a good mod...

You got any links to that mate and instructions for setting it up with medmanager ?.

p.s. thanks btw your a star tht sound exacterly what im after ;-)

You might find it on twcenter

The Long Road is not referenced anywhere on the Org (a shame in my opinion...)

As to setting it up with medmanager, I don't think it necessary as is comes with an installer (and even a hot seat mode with a shortcut for both on the desktop...)

Hope you enjoy it...

P.S. : I will try and find a link to the mod...

I've not reached that period yet but I think Mongols and Timurid have been crashed... And i'm not too disappointed...

I have Lands to Conquer, Stainless Steel and The Long Road...

All are good, Lands to Conquer is basically a rebalanced and improved verision of vanilla.

Stainless Steel and the Long Road both add factions and units.

Clouds across Europe was a really nice one but it's development team have stopped work on it, so it is what it is and is unlikely to change...

The Long Road sounds really attractive because of all the new units and factions but it does remove the americas from the map (bigger map however). Stainless Steel does not remove the americas.

Both The Long Road and Stainless Steel use a realisim traits system that introduces features of supply line into the game. Personally I have not yet decided whether this adds to the depth of the game or is simply just annoying...

I use Lusted's LtC the most at the moment...

What faction/units do SS and LR add? Could someone please post a link to them as well please.

[Incongruous]

I prefer atm DEUS LO VULT. Probably the most accurate MOD out. It has some very nice scripted features.
I really loved AD for 1.1 as well, amazing atmosphere.

The current DLV gives u the Teutonic knights, Lithuanians, Kievans, Crusaders, Armenia, Flanders and Ireland.

Not bad really.

[PapaNasty]

Yeah all those are great. I myself use the latest Stainless Steel version, but I have disabled the reality traits effects as I find them outright annoying, although I love the rest of the mod.

With disabling the reality traits the trait still shows up on your characters, but the actual effect that they say they have doesn't happen. I simply found the reality traits bugged me and detracted from my enjoyment, although A LOT of people love the traits and the extra micro-managment they require.

I have a problem with SS 3.0, when I install it I get this message:

Stainless Steel has not been totally installed because of the following reason:
Stainless_Steel.cfg: This file contains invalid data.(error 11fd)
You will have to run this utility again to completely install Stainless Steel.
And no matter how many times I try, it won't work.

[Incongruous]

Hmm, maube DL it again?

[Xehh II]

I can't DL it again I only have dial-up, It's too slow to DL something twice.
