Is EB the best mod for any game of all time?

[I_damian]

I was just thinking that if PC game mods had an award ceremony like the Oscars or Baftas, or something which ranks them every year based on whatever, would EB still stand as the biggest, best and most proffessional mod of all time for any game ever? I mean, plenty of PC games have some absolutely amazing mods, such as the "complete" mods for the 3 STALKER games for example, but I'm pretty sure that EB is just right at the top of the pile.

What does everybody else think?

[SoFarSoGood]

Yes definitely.

depends on the type of game i´ve seen a very interesting sims mods and also gta mods where they create complete new cities and enviroments but what may regard strategy games mods about total war most defently eb1 is right there and lets hope eb2 will be soon enough up for voting

EB is really good, but I think it overtaxes the engine of RTW too much, and CTD's are what stops EB from being great.

Counterstrike and DOTA are clearly #1 and #2 in terms of community made game mods in my eyes, and certainly in terms of popularity too. They both spawned money making products and have been played by millions. EB isn't in close in that respect.

No......... EBII is coming.

Is the question a serious one? I only ask because clearly the answer could not be a more obvious 'yes'.

On the more serious side, if we were to create a metric for judging cross-genre video game mods (perhaps even cross-platform?), what would it be composed of? How are we quantifying otherwise difficult to measure aspects of games?
