I'd like to try out a Mod..

**Garvanko** · 04-23-2006, 15:44

Ive never really had any experience with one, and I have both RTW and BI - plus latest patches. I've looked in the Mod forums, but Im not really sure which is the best one. Any ideas?

Which is the most compatible or best Mod around?

EB and RTR are fine mods which everyone should try. I haven't tried any others as my last year at uni has seen my time taken.

Do you want a mod for RTW or BI?

What version are you using?

**Garvanko** · 04-23-2006, 15:59

I'd like one for RTW. Im using v1.5.

BI is patched to v1.6

TFT v1.9 is out now:

One benefit of using TFT is that no vanilla files are overwritten, so you can try the mod and still play regular RTW with no messy file switchers or having to reinstall and such.

BI v1.6 should include RTW v1.5... but I've heard there are problems if you are using RTW Gold. To be sure, go to the options screen from the RTW menu and the version is displayed in the upper right.
