Thread: Other mods?

  1. #1

    Default Other mods?

    So I was just wondering what other mods people play or are involved with. What are your favorites and how complete are they?

    I've seen some pretty interesting ideas like Inca total war and Warhammer total war. I'm just interested to see what's out there and I feel the easiest way is to simply ask.

    I'm not sure if they will do this but if this thread is closed down for publicity reasons I understand being as I'm posting on the EB forum.

    By the way my favorite is EB, I haven't tried any others yet, but seriously you guys rock my face off.

    I play RTR:PE and EB... RTRPE with some mods on it can really get you going. I personally prefer some factions of theirs and some of EB.
    THe greeks and inclusion of Epirus and the Lusitans gave this mod a big standout realism wise against RTR and it's script is definatly one of the best things one could do to overcome sistem limitations.
    I gota hand it to you, after trying this mod I was amazed... I like it more as time passes...

    Cheers...

    I played a lot of RTR 6 Gold before modding EB ate up all my free time. I had a lot of fun with that one.

    -Aurthurian : Total War - complex and difficult
    -Rise of Persia - beta with little scripting, interesting time frame
    -Fourth Age : Total War : Corsair Invasion - more of a demo than beta, nice for all the Tolkien fans

    I have played Troy : Total War and Rome : Total Realism and they were both ok though simple compared to their imidate peers.

    I am really anxiously awaiting Hegemonia : City States, very promising Classical Greece mod. And of course awaiting the completion of EB.

    If I can recommend you a couple, I would recomend:

    1º The Crusades
    2º Invasio Barbarorum - Flagellum Dei


    The idea is to play other mods that don`t cover the same timeframe... so you don`t get tired of seeing hastatis and hoplites...

    But both alternatives I posted are excellent choices.

    Cheers!!!

    Chivalry is a real nice mod, too. Too bad i dont like the medieval timeframe (dunno why).

    Hegemonia is certainly the one i´m awaiting the most (besides EB 1.0).

    If youre interested in Japan/China then have a look at Ran No Jidai and Three Kingdoms: Total War.

    Yes I advise Crusades also. I played it until I got bored it's very tricky in the begining and Caius really works some magic when making new unit skins...

    EB came out, I, pretty close to literally, haven't touched another game since. In short, nothing compares. HoI, no, even the main genre I used to play, RPG's, no longer appeal to me enough to devote the time needed to get a real play out of them. That quote about how finding is EB is like finding the woman of your dreams in a room full of women is quite true.

    I've played RTRPE, Arthurian, Crusades, Invasio Babborum-Flagelum Dei, Extended Greek Mod. But nothing compares to EB in depth. This is by far the best mod out. All the others I played for less than 3 weeks and got bored.

    I play SPQR, Extended Greek Mod (XGM). Both add different flavours to gameplay. Paid some attention to RTR:PE but it seems somewhat stagnant at the moment.

    I played Iberia Tw and really liked it. It's a really deep and fun to play mod.
    Also Invasioum Barbarum was good.

    But my favourite campaing was with Hannibal's War 2.0. (bouis did an excellent job back in RTW 1.2)

    New to the MODs (only been playing a couple of months, but was playing RTW and a little bit of BI since they were released - haven't gone back since playing mods, and probably won't)

    RTR Gold (played for a couple of months before EB 0.8 was released - might start playing again till EB 0.81 is released)

    RTR 7.0 (will have to split what little free time i have between EB and this once it comes out)

    RTR: Ancient Empires (might try it once 3.0 is released)

    MTW2 (if I get it for Christmas will switch to that for a while, but I have to much of an interest in all things Roman to stay with this to long)

    EDIT: P.S. Anyone know of a really good mod(s) for people who play only as SPQR?

    Have a look at Imperator II (a mod for RTR Platinum 1.7 with 4tpy and career system) and RTRPE Extended Realism with the Promethean Legion pack (also 4tpy). And yes, these are mods for a mod for a mod...
