I want to resuscitate my interest in Med2. It seems CA won't make it happen by a. patching it and b. releasing anything that might resemble an SDK. I sure would like to make some truely new content. Nevertheless there are still a few mods here and there. I need an opinion on what the currently most used mod is. I'm not looking for anything in particular, just something to get me to play Med2 again.
I don't know, there are no so much major mods.
Maybe some mini mods like Lithuania Mod or Bohemia mod
Major mods are not going to happen without a tool to allow changes to both battlefield unit models and the animations. This we don't have.
We also still have the annoying siege bug where the battle grinds to a halt as everyone tries to get up one ladder/siege tower....
So far...the only mod I have bothered with is the usual 'unlock all the factions' mod. Nothing else really seems to do more than alter some stats.
This is the same for me. In my opinion at the moment the only useful and best mod would be the one which unlocks all factions… Fun fun fun!Quote:

You might be interested in my Vlad III Dracula Mod for something different.
By no means is it the "best Mod" ever, but I've done a lot of research to present a historically consistent and hopefully accurate portrayal of an often controversial and misunderstood figure in history.
Vlad Dracula was to some a murdered and to others a hero. I let the player decide for themselves, as they take on the role of Dracula the Prince of the Wallachia faction.
My interest in the Mod was to focus on fear and dread--two topics that are very relevant to current world issues. The dread game mechanic works very well to illustrate the points I make in the game.
I hope you'll give it a shot.

Go check out the mods on TW Center, I would suggest starting with the Winning Combo mod if you want vastly improved bugfixed gameplay.
Lands to Conquer is not major mod, it only changes ai and way you play. There are no new units, or changed skins, so I think that we can't call it Major mod.Quote:

I guess there was some misunderstanding. I am not looking for a TC or anything like that because there are none around so far as I know which are in a playable/released state.Quote:

Now Lusted one of the gripes I have against M2 is how the AI defends its territories, cities and castles specifically. Has your mod addressed this problem in any way?
Well it certainly seems to garrison its cities better and act better form what i've seen, but i don't really play many campaigns so your best off checking my mod froum over at TWC: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=302Quote:

I agree with you, just want to add that major mods might not happen at all for M2 if CA releases tool you described too late. Frustration level is growing.Quote:

Hey Lusted,
I was looking over your LtC notes and was curious if your mod has the Papacy, Mongols, and Timurids as playable factions? I didnt see it mentioned so wasnt sure if its not or just not mentioned. I figured I'd ask here real quick. I was thinking of trying out your mod. I'm getting a little bored with the vanilla game.
No the Papacy, Timurids and Mongols are not playable.
The best mod is the one you make yourself. All of the mods I've tried so far have had a roughly equal number of good things and bad things, and therefore IMO the best way to get the game into an enjoyable state is to either do things yourself or to combine the good ideas from several mods.
Best mod for me so far........
The Big Map mod is great !!!!
I also added Pavise Crossbow to England.
That mod has many mistakes with cities on mapQuote:
