Is it time for Mods?

Do any of them use the engine for anything other than musket warfare?

There may be some conversion mods in development or even released but you will have to have a look and see.

Hi Fish,

Your links aren't working.

As I've mentioned quite a bit, I've played Imperial Splendour and love it. So much so that I just can't do Vanilla anymore.

The changes it makes are far too numerous to list, but basically it revamps muskets as a whole, making range actually affect accuracy, making virtually every unit unique, and vastly improves all aspects of artillery, making them, you know, USEFUL. IT also makes some major changes to naval warfare, giving ships really tough hulls, slowing them down and so on. They're planning to fix CA's naval 'balancing' next patch too.

THey're gradually going through and revamping all the factions as well. Russia, for instance, now has to research the Streltsy Reforms in order to gain access to line infantry (not quite on the historical timeline, but its fun), and many other factions have some unique technology.

The only downside is that they can't change the AI :(

Thanks! They are now.

@ Sheogorath

Thanks for the info!

The problem with the AI is there is no script editor.

Just like we have no map editor, so map changes and new regions are currently a no go as well.

Is there any mods similar to Lusted's Lands to Conquer mod for M2:TW. Basically a bunch of minor tweaks (as well as animation fixes) here and there to MASSIVELY (IMHO) improve gameplay making the WAAAAY more fun than stock. Hell i still fire up LTC every once in a while to get my medieval fighting fix in.

Empire Realism looked promising, and I really liked some of the stuff they were doing with the artillery (changing guns to 4lbs, 8lbs, incorporating the major artillery reforms of the age), but I am not happy with a few of the changes that seemed to make things less realistic (removed square, made the carronade frigate a double decker, etc.), so I am currently still sticking to vanilla.
