How many people think that sub mods are worth using? I have never bothered.

How about: I run my own modifications on top of the original?

Definetely yes , if you can't see a reason for this I have three words for you which should be convincing enough to start experimenting with submods .
Force Diplomacy Minimod .
Satyros

It depends solely upon you. If you want my oppinion, you can use many submods that will enhance your gaming experience. I will number certain submods that I personally enjoy:
1) Force Diplomacy Minimod. If you are a roleplay-er, this one is a must.
2) AI Battle Formations Minimod. Just gives the AI a better tactical ability, but don't expect any miracles.
3) Command Stars and Corsus Honorum Minimod. I use this one solely because it gives Command Stars easier. I hate it if a Strategos of mine that has won so many victories has less than 5 stars.
4) Extended Offices Minimod. I like this mainly for RPing reasons.
5) City Mod. Excellent mod, gives some bonuses to several buildings, enables paved roads for some barbaroi and keeps population growth in check by allowing only specific cities to grow into Huge size. The latter can be modified at will and can be done even in mid-campaign being savegame compatible.
6) Roma Surrectum textures. Not really a minimod, rather than the collection of files you have to put in a specific folder in order to get RS' campaign map textures. They look absolutely gorgeous.
There are probably others I miss, but I suggest you take a look yourself and try/judge later.

Most definately. Though being somewhat lazy, I use Lz3's mod pack that does it all in one go!
City mod is a must especially if you like playing the "civilised" factions.
AI formation mods help.
Forced diplomacy is a real help.
For Romans the allied legion mod is a must.
And do they make the game less stable? I don't think so I've played right through to AD14 and had very few CTD's and none were critical.

Completed; Rome AD14!
I don't think I could even dream of playing without the City Mod. And the minimod pack is a very nice addition and spices up gameplay.
Overall I think EB is better two-fold with at least Force Diplomacy and the City Mod, but that's just IMO.

They envy us because we are mortal, because any moment might be our last.

Why is there no "Bean is a Noob" option?I still LOL when I remember that poll

phalanx mod - more realistic hoplites/phalanx
rs textures
spoils of victory minimod
i dont know how to get force diplomacy working
Because that poll was fixed and unfair...stupid Maion...*mumbles unintelligably*
Although it would be funny to have that option as default to all polls...I would vote for it

Yes
Wish there was a Crimson Tide mod for EB like there is for SS.

just reset the advisor in game options every time you use it.

As someone who's written an (aborted) AAR, I found Force Diplomacy and the RS Textures essential. I also personally edited out the battlemap red borders and unit indicator arrows. I hated taking screens and having those ruin a perfectly good screenshot.

Read The House of Seleukos: The History of the Arche Seleukeia
for an in-depth and fascinating history of the heirs of Seleukos Nikator.
The mods that are a must for EB should be;
-RS textures,
-Force Diplomacy
the others depend on your playing style. like if you like fighting battles yourself AI formations Mod
and of course any Alex mod (I prefer LZ3's)
I have made a lot of mods as well, as you can see in my sig.![]()
But, you had to add "I have my own sub mods"
P.S. At the moment I am modding Fifa Manager 09, but it is quite illogical to get 20,000 Euro monthly from a 5 Star Hotel whose value is 100 million Euro.
