Playing with mods?

**Pomerium** · 12-06-2005, 15:01

Out of curiosity, How many players are playing with mods?
So far I have found using SPQR makes it a different game. It may not be as realistic in terms of raising armies, but its enjoyable.

I have seen and tried others, so who is using what and is there a favorite?

RTR, though I've been playing BI vanilla, no mods for that yet.

Except for the minor self made changes.

I found vanilla RTW to be unplayable.
So for the first time since I started playing TW games, I found myself looking to mods.
As good as the mods were that I tried they just did'nt improve enough what I disliked about vanilla.
So thanks to the excellent tutorials that are available here at the org, I was able to make my own humble mod. Which is of course my favourite.
Because for me it's all about the gameplay.

Perhaps a better term would be un-enjoyable.

In fact so true that I let the game on a shelve for more then a year after trying it for a week and keep going with the Tc's doen for Mtw.

Ive played the BKB and reconquista Mods on MTW and am currently playing the Mapus Mundi XGM mod for RTW.I much prefer the mods to the vanilla games because of the increased historical accuracy in starting positions and army composition.To be fair however it did take me a long time to get bored by the original games.im not a modder myself apart from the stuff you can do easily like changing the name of the east romans to byzantines which is hardly modding.
