That depends on which game you are playing. S:TW does not have any significant mods. M:TW and R:TW mods come in three flavours: gameplay enhancers; total conversions that use the same subject (the Middle ages or Rome) and total conversions that change the subject of the game entirely. What exactly are you looking for?

i want to know abt all three of them and what is the difference bet europa barbarorum and RTW where to get it,&what is the requriment(version).

EB is for version 1.2 of RTW (ie pre-BI). It has its own sub-forum here in the Org and a website (europabarbarorum.com) which will have download links. It's a brilliant mod, but only a beta so you may encounter issues (crashes to desk top etc). Another excellent mod is Rome Total Realism (RTR, which has its own website rometotalrealism.org).

I hope and expect both mods will eventually convert to the latest version of RTW, but for now your best bet is to install RTW afresh, patch to version 1.2 and - if you have space - copy the whole thing. Install a mod on the copy and retain the original for the vanilla game. I have three copies of the game on my computer - one for EB, one for RTR and one for BI.

I shall assume then that you have R:TW (as Europa Barbarorum is an R:TW mod).

Gameplay enhancents don't alter the campaign, but change some small things to make the game better. Examples are Player1's bugfixer (which is a sort of unofficial patch) and DarthFormations (improves A.I. on the battlefield). I would recommend both, Darthformations where designed for previous versions of the game and do not seem to work well with the latest patches.

Total modifications with the same subject are Rome: Total Realism and Europa Barbarorum. The games still deal with the rise of Rome, but both strive to make the game more realistic, challenging and fun. Both are still for R:TW 1.2, but they will be converted to later versions in the future. R:TR is far more finished, but EB is the most challenging and historically accurate. Like Simon said, EB is still in open beta, so I don't recommend it unless you don't mind some bugs and unfinished or unbalanced features. There is also Darthmod (as oposed to Darthformations), which strongly increases A.I. performance on the battlefield, but far less popular than either R:TR or EB.

As for mods with a different subject: there are far too many too name. Have a look in the hosted mod forum to see a few of the more popular projects.

All I have mentioned here are the most popular modifications, there are many more out there. If you want to know about them, you can try browing the modding forums of the Org and the TW center.

I hope you found this helpful.
