Besides E.B, What other mods do you play?

Only EB for me.

Although I want to start playing mtw2, now that I have a new computer and everything.
However can't seem to find any mods similar too EB for that period yet.
Sticking to EB till something that suits me pops up for mtw2.

Broken Crescent looks interesting, but not into a euro-asia map at the moment.

It won't ever have a Eurasian map, IIRC it is meant to focus on the Muslim world. I have heard a lot of good things about the Broken Crescent mod as well, including that it is of near-EB quality. :yes: Something I might consider trying, do any EB players here have some opinion/recommendation for BC?

Europa Barbarorum rules, but RTR PE + Extended Realism Mod is very good too (v 3.3. is soon to be released).

In many aspects it is quite different game from EB - it does not have depth: long unit and building descriptions are missing and generals have only handful of traits (Roman Cursus Honorum is done very well though) but because of very short background script it runs very quickly and the focus is on battles - and those are tough indeed. If played on H/H, Extended Realism Mod is (compared to EB) bigger challenge for most factions (even Romans!).:smash:

BC atm mainly lacks balance, especially in the campaign map, and the traits/ancillaries field is too "vanillish". But all the graphical stuff is great and overall the mod is enjoyable even right now.

speaking of RTW mods I recommend FATW, a really exceptional work, superb balance, great map, great graphical design, the best music pack, and very stable. Sadly it's somewaht overlooked, probably because most RTW players don't have an interest in fantasy mods in general.

d@#n clowns

only EB, fascinated since 0.80
i personly like units and :chucks: the diffrent types of warfare, roman manipel, greek phalanx, steppe cavalary and eastern bows :chucks:

EB and IB are my favorite mods for RTW.
regarding M2TW, I really looking forward for Rise of Empires, The King of Kings and maybe Rise of the Caliphate, they should by the best mods ever for M2

Makes me a little apprehensive about EB2, also. :shame:

I don't know if you've checked out DLV 5.4 for Kingdoms but those long turn issues have been addressed and it's playing better. The turn lengths are in the ballpark of EB now.

I've got to give fourth age another look. The battles played way too fast for my taste but it was an earlier version so perhaps it's been addressed.

battles in FATW are faster than EB (well I think that every mod has faster battles than EB :balloon2:) but are balanced really well (only the probably overpowered archers are an issue imo)...it definitely has one of the best EDU I have ever seen

[QUOTE=hoom]Since EB 1.0 I haven't played any RTR except the recently released The Iberian Conflict mini-campaign, which I have played too little of, they've really done a nice job with what I've seen of it.
Really like their Carthage units :beam:

@ Hoom : Sounds cool. Can you tell me more?

Besides EB, I play:
1-IBFD
2-Rio's IBFD
3-Chivalry total war (playing as Egypt right now)
4-rise of persia v2.11 Bab ilu rules!
5-Napoleon total war 2 v .3.6 (or .36)-love those redcats
:beam: :beam: :beam: :beam:

I tried a bunch of other mods (Rome: Medieval, Roma Surrectum, RTR) but they all fail after playing EB. They all just feel so...vanilla.

Hopefully Hegemonia is up to standard.

FATW is great, I love sending massive amounts of panicky orcs to flood the superior humans. I even like the AI controlling my 2-3 auxiliary full stacks as it controls them according to what I presume are orcish tactics :2thumbsup:.
ATW, great mod with a great challenge.
Played and enjoyed The Long Road for a while but got disappointed in the massive effect the merchants have, they are practically the only game winners. Also the AI takes forever to mount a decent response to an attack, leaving you free to take 3-4 towns before coming at you.

Well after trying some mods like 77BC, RTR ans FATW, I have only EB and the IB group of mods. There is one mod I am waiting to be released wright now, Peninsula Italica, it looks to be a promising mod.

Cheers.

What is this XGM that people speak of?

extended greek mod:2thumbsup:

Besides EB I play XGM..
There were more but only those 2 have remained ..
This does not mean that I never play other mods .. if I do then only to remind me why I love EB :2thumbsup:

Is Hegemonia even still active? I haven't heard anything about it in AGES.

It's really nice looking, but really seems like just an all out blitz-fest, cranking out armies and invading left and right. Granted, this is what most of the TW fans seem to enjoy, but I prefer the slower, more strategy heavy "every battle counts!" gameplay of DLV.

out of topic, but will MTW2 let me install without the CD key (recently bought one frm walmart)?:inquisitive:
because its doing so now without it:oops:

I think it will, It just won't let you play online...No big loss.

thanks; now I'm installing the kingdoms version, now it's saying can't install 1.03 version on the 1 version: why?

Try getting the 1.2 patch from the official site then installing Kingdoms.

I'll try.thanks

631 MB?! that's an F@@@@@@ project for the laptop.:dizzy2: :dizzy2: :dizzy2: :dizzy2: :dizzy2: :dizzy2:

Yeah, I think it is still active, but just barely trucking along. It's still something to get excited about, in my opinion.

Recently they've said (as of March 7, 08)

"Well there is no exact release date as such because there are still a few things left to do. But most of the work is done so it should not be too long now!"

So hopefully they're not just pulling our legs...

they said that on my birthday? :laugh4: :laugh4:
-they're pulling your leg...

I play first strike, a star wars mod for battlefield 2142. It realy is fantastic. Of you interested type "first strike mod" on google.
