campaign TOO easy?

[cambovenzi]

well, most of the mods are for VI, which i dont have

im basically just messin around with different factions, and havin some fun with battles.
while im not the greatest commander, im alright, and always seem to keep expanding my "empire" on the campaign map. no matter the difficulty.

i would just like a mode i can occasionally play where i wont usually dominate at will.
or atleast change it up a little.

but like i said, almost all mods ive seen are for VI.

The hardest part of MTW for me is finishing, lol. I can do everything else wonderfully, but once my attention is diverted - campaign is over.

You could probably pick up Viking Invasion pretty cheap. At the moment I am writing, there is a copy for $5 plus $4 shipping in the USA (used) at Amazon.com. I see it on eBay for $1.83, but it doesn't say what the shipping cost is (seller is in the UK)


If you don't want to go the Viking Invasion way, you could try getting the gnome editor and doing a little modding yourself. I suppose you could weaken your favorite faction and find it harder to get yourself established.

That said, I think there is a problem with the game. You can make the start of the game tougher if you like, but once your empire gets really established, it gets pretty easy.

Still, its worth getting VI, in my opinion. It really livened up the game for me a lot, and I have only tried one downloaded mod so far.

Or try MTW-Redux. There's a version of that that doesn't need VI, and it seriously upgrades the difficulty for most factions. Check out the thread - it's one of the most lively at the moment.

Hello everyone, ( Hi Wes, doing the some stuff "for the greater good of redux” ehh? I just love how that sounds. )

Well cambovenzi, you not having a copy of VI kind of narrows things down for you. At the top of my head you basically have two alternatives left without VI. The WesMod (did I get that right?) and my own, MTW-redux.

At any rate, the redux thread is open man, and we have sorted out every problem we had so far. If you got any problems we solve ‘em, as simple as that (or die trying). There are more people than just me there that are willing to help you out if need be.

What I am trying to say is that, you are just a mousclick away from the redux version of MTW-bliss. Click on my signature and your'e there…



EDIT: about the “WesMod”, what I meant was actually the; Medieval mod IV v1.85 for Total War v1.1

- Cheers

Ooh, and in answer of your thread question: "essentially yes". (One of the many reasons why I did redux)

You can also get MedMod, google it, there's an old copy (clearly stated on the guys site) for MTW vanilla. I don't really recommend it, I thought it felt kind of arcade-y, but eh.
