    Default Which mod to use with Barbarian Invasion?

    Hi,

    Im looking to start a new campaign with Barbarian Invasion, after looking at these forums, i was interested in trying out DarthMod and INVASIO BARBARORUM, but was not sure if they were compatible.

    If their not compatible, wich mod should i go with for a fun playing experience?

    Thanks for any responses.

    I thought Darthmod was for the original RTW campaign, whereas IBFD is for the BI campaign. Some mods do use Darth's formations - I'm not sure if IBFD does.

    I'm going to try IBFD as what little I saw of the that version was very promising.

    I've had a lot of fun with Goth's All Factions mod - I can strongly recommend that if you want a thorough reworking of the original BI campaign. (IBFD has a somewhat later starting date, so the WRE are in more trouble.)

    As econ21 says, Darthmod is for RTW not BI.

    IBFD is a great mod...
    I recommend getting it...

    Upgrade your BI version to 1.6, then get the 6.0 version of the mod. You won`t regret it. And watch for the Horse Archers... they are very, very deadly...

    Darth mod does also include a BI mod with new skins and tweaked stuff, as well as the Darth Battle System (tm) :D

    Also make sure you take a look at Arthurian Total War. Just came out for BI 1.6 and is top notch.

    Vlad mod is a good one that gets overlooked.

    No offense but I can't recommend IBFD to anyone. It is buggy beyond belief and they have not fixed the CTD that occurs on a certain date. A clue to the problems with this mod are in the 15 pages of bugs that are discussed over TW Center. I wish I had looked into the mod more before I wasted time with it.

    Hmmm...I've had a few minor bugs (mostly battle graphics stuff), too. Seems like IBFD is still a work in progress.

    Vlad mod has great skins, probably the greatest ones in any mod, it is true. But it lacks seriously historicall acuracy, is is made more for fun, etc.

    As a person passioned by historicall acuracy, i would not download a mode in which the Sassanids make HORDE...

    Just try version 6.5 . I`m playing it for a week, and NOT A SINGLE CTD in campaign game.
