Myself offers RTR 5.4.1 as the current best for someone used to vanilla and just looking for a game-play fix. RTR offers many 'fixes' to the vanilla version, some new skins and a new campaign map. Best Feature: it's out now!
As well, you might look over some other add-on mods (temple mod comes to mind) to see what sort of thing is available.
The Roma mod is a good choice if you consider yourself @ EXPERT level (suker kicked my butt in a heart-beat, so I guess I'm not expert, lol).
One good tip: make yourself a vanilla 1.2 install and rename it to something like 'Virgin Install Folder', then you can copy to a new 'install name' and load the mod to the new folder/install. Generally faster than doing compleat 'new installs' every time you wish to try out a new mod. Remember to use the .exe icon short-cut (save to desktop) from each install to target the new game.
Presently, the only 'switch' (addendum to the property line for the short-cut)that I know to work is -NM, which turns off the opening movies.
Please forgive me if I seem condescending, don't know how much your into multi-installs vis RTW, eh?
here's a couple:
Chivalry: Total War

SPQR - Total War
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/index.php?showforum=61
Definitely SPQR Total War - it makes the game really interesting as the romans as the marian reforms are drastically delayed, other faction's units are stronger and every infantry unit is build in one turn! (You have to use common sense not to swarm over the enemy too much)
I understand that this is a useful idea, however i don't reccomend it because it doesn't save any more than about 50 meg of disc space and it saves you from errors if you just copy your default rtw install folder from "...Activision/Rome Total War" to "...Activision/SPQR Total War", for example, and install the mod of your choice over the latter.Quote:

are there any screen shots for SPQR Total War?
Have a look around here
So it lookslike most people are plying RTR mod or the SPQR mod I have been thinking about theRTR mod but going to the mod forum is pissing my off most of the time I cant log in...So i will try the SPQR.....I dont like my games to be so real that they are no fun..It is a gam anyway so feel it should be more fun that follow History because History is all a point of view of the winner not what realy happen just look at US history the land of the free.......lol so funny...well thanks guys fo your input.... But i must say L`zard your a good sales man if it was not for the site i would play that......but i have them all just did not know which one i should try will try the add-on also

lol what is it?
I don't see how that's relevant, but -ne (windowed mode, awesome for modding), -show_err (gives error messages), -enable_editor (enables battle editor), -sprite_generator (a way to make sprites, quite complicated), and -strat:[campaignname] (goes straight to a new game in the specified campaign) are some others, FYI.Quote:

I'll try out the -ne switch, but the one I really miss is the -ian switch.
I can't imagine why CA disabled this. 'Twas a very nice thing for vetting mods in MTW, eh?
Whatever, gentlemen. As Simetrical indicates, switchs are another subject. Sorry for the interuption.

coming soon
Is there a list anywhere with all the completed mods? Hunting down mods can be pretty difficult as about the only way to find the completed ones are when the people involved in the mod advertise it.
Topic split, find the RTR discussion here

I've played both RTR and SPQR quite a lot, IMHo both are much better than vamilla and both require quite different strategies to win, so I'd try both.
BTW if you're pining for something completely different try Barocca's Samurai Total wars for MTW:VI, it also very interesting.
I'm really looking forward to Sengoku Jidai mod for RTW, and Europa Barborum.
BTW if you talk about other mods it will be split.... ~;)
