Playing with mods?

[professorspatula]

I'm one of those people who endlessly spends their time modding the game, for their own purposes, but doesn't get around to playing much of a campaign themselves. I think the last campaign I got anywhere in was back in January/Feb. Aside from a couple of half-complete campaigns in BI since, I like to mod and mess around needlessly until I get bored and play something else, before returning to mod again and messing around further. If I hadn't done that, I'd have given up with RTW back in February/March and probably stuck with MTW or something newer and sparklier.

I played (tried mostly) all mods , but since I play Romans mostly I found that I prefer the RTR version (plus few my own tweaks and add ons mostly) to be the most enjoyable. Now I'm 100 game years in my Roman campaign and waiting for the reform before expanding.

When I'm bored with the repeated battles and sieges , I mod my vanilla 1.5. Only the text files now , no others yet.

I play my mod of course, and FATw, which i am a team member of. But i get less time to play campaigns than i would like due to the time i devot to modding, and to the changes i make which make some saved games of mine unplayable.

Since a lot mods don´t (yet) have a campaign I play them rather seldom. Custom battles are fun only so often, the most interesting battles tend to occur during a campaign, when the outcome is important to the further game.

I love playing with mods
have no idea how to mod myself, though im trying to teach myself - unsuccessfully. I've played them all. I love RTR, and the Darth mod, but my personal favorite is the Vlad mod, once you add Darth formations to it. Though his armies are massive and if you don't have a good computer (like me ) it tends to make the actions in the battles a little jumpy. I think my campaign as Thrace in his mod was my favorite campaign I ever played.
Personally I tend to play a campaign in one mod, then jump to another mod. So it's like a new game everytime
Right now im playing as Macedonia in RTR. I just kicked the Greeks out of the mainland - minus one city, which I'll deal with later, and now im trying to build a fleet to become a naval powerhouse and launch a navel invasion on the coast of Turkey.

I too am not a true modder. My orginal post on using a mod was posted elsewhere. I find that after modding the game it IS like a new game. SPQR has kept me from becoming bored with RTW. So much so I haven't thought of moving onto B.I. With the new mod I like to try all the factions just to see new units and tactics that can be employed.
