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

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

    I'm a huge fan of EB and it's actually the only Rome TW Mod I have on my hard drive. The other mod that I truly love is DLV for MTWII, I highly recommend it especially if you have Kingdoms.

    What other mods are you into besides EB?

    I play EB and I just recently installed Roma Surrectum, but I might uninstall it just feels a little vanilla after playing eb. Also what is DLV?

    It has a very immersive feel like E.B does. It's not as historically based as E.B but it has similar role-playing features. If you want a challenge with MTW2, I recommend it.

    XGM. Too many other mods feel way too much like vanilla, you know? For XGM's lack of hardcore modding, it is almost like an EB light.

    Well, I do play Battlegrounds 2 from time to time... but that's a mod for HL2. If we're only counting mods for CA products, then no, nothing except EB.

    Stainless Steel for M2TW.

    Deus lo Vult for M2, and the "XL" mod for Medieval 1. No other Rome mod (or other game mod for that matter) even comes close to EB for me.

    Playing DLV actually makes me pine for EBII. Seeing what they did with the diplomacy issues, EBII is going to rock so hard with better diplomacy.

    Fall from Heaven 2 for Civilization IV. It makes for a great add-on, because it's practically another game!

    EB, EB, EB and EB!!! I have tried every single RTW mod there is, but I still go with EB. Sometimes I do a little DLV, but EB is still King.

    For RTW? Pretty much anything that isn't fantasy - based (nothing against people who make those, just not my thing). Apart from EB my favourites are
    Invasio Barbarorum and mods based on it, such as Riothamus' Dark Age mod and others. But I rarely get any free time to play, so my knowledge of them is still quite superficial.

    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

    Haven't really bothered with any other RTW/M2TW mods though.
    Are there any M2TW mods that have significant amounts of new models etc?

    Otherwise, I've recently rediscovered Conquest:Frontier Wars with its awesome supply/ammo & big space ship focussed gameplay.
    Also playing some CS:Source on local servers that are running team DM with random weapons (which lets me appreciate the awesomeness of some of those guns that I never got the money to buy before because I suck at CS)
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    besides EB (my all-time favorite), i have other mods installed, but in this period im not playing too much, mod that i play are TIC (great graphic and music, and artistical banners), IB (I love the period of the decadence, always faschinated me, pity it ctd sometimes on my computer), i played also ArthurianTW (I had a great fun with the arthurian faction, it was hard! and the map has a magic atmosphere, as i sayd i love the dark periods, and the cavalry was a power in that mod, your best killing units), I have to try Casus Belli too as i have time.

    I dont play M2tw, is it strange? I can play it with Graphic settings at max, but on large size armies (80,75 men), but dont know why, it didn't touched me... and i tryed, i did some campaigns, France, HRE, Venice, but i cant remember anymore when i loaded it last time. one thing among others i dont like are the 2D artworks, family portraits, buildings, GUI, in Game Videos etc... dont know why.

    The Fourth Age Total war.
    It's the only other mod that feels different from vanila, but complete.

    Also it's the only mod that gives EB a run for it's money in the awards

    ive tried Roma Surectum, but that just wasn't for me. The rebel provinces being black instead of grey...only ONE celtic faction...it just scared my EB nerdy self away from it

    I had Stainless Steel but, as many have mentioned before, I just lost interest in it. I think I'm more into antiquity than the middle ages.

    tried tonnes of mods: RTR, 77BC, FATW, ATW, Invasiao Barbarorum, mods for Alex...
    my favorites and the ones i still play are only EB and recently released TIC which will have a patch for MP games released soon btw.
    also play BC for MTW2. actually the only mod for MTW2 that caught my attention. seeing good feedbacks on Deus Lo Vult will give it a go too.

    Invasio Barbarorum is an excellent mod with quite a lot of depth to as well, which makes it very playable after EB. Armenia is an excellent faction and the Western Empire is a real challenge too.

    i tried it quite a while ago but thier vanilla style recruitment system with virtually no assimilation requirements put me off. did they change that? i'd get back to it if they did.

    Ahhh, there's two of us then. EB and FATW are far and away my two favorite mods. FATW is to the world of fantasy, specifically the Tolkien world, what EB is to the Roman Era.

    Make it 3 - FATW is a good mod.

    I played RTR before I found EB and it's also a good mod though I prefer EB between the 2. It's still installed, however, and given a test drive occasionally.

    Invasio Barbarorum! Excellent mod, highly recommended. If you're looking for a challenge, try the WRE. For M2TW I tried Deus Lo Vult and enjoyed a campaign as the Lombard League, but the long time it takes to cycle through the AI factions, even with "follow AI" turned off, got frustrating and turned me off the mod a bit. Makes me a little apprehensive about EB2, also.
