Best of the Mods

**andrewmuir** · 01-24-2007, 13:36

I am both impressed and yet bewildered by the number of mods not just for RTW/BI but also now for M2TW. Clearly they all promise different attributes but I would like to hear of others experience before I submit to all the temptations. The one I look forward to most is The Justinian War but I confess I haave already had a go at Invasio Barbarorum which is closer to my favourite period and I have also downloaded The Long Road which allows 900 turns which I calculate to be 450 years. That should keep me busy until R2TW

Europa Barbarorum is hands down the best mod for any TW game ever.

At least in my humble opinion.

Jebus, whats with all the Montanans coming on board?

I was the only native Montanan here for like 2 years. Even though I live in So. Cal. now

Anyway Back on Topic:

Europa Barbarorum!

Everyone I know says EB is the bet mod for RTW

Chalk up another vote for EB... it just can not get any better!

To give you a measure of their popularity, if you throw in their EB Headquarters Developers forum, they have more threads than the Frontroom.

Hey, I somehow missed this post before.

I'll forgive you for the whole California thing. But, only because I just moved back to Montana from San Francisco!

Nice to know there are others from Big Sky! I will keep a good watch on her while you are away!

PS. From what I have seen EB is the best MOD for R:TW

You should stop by the EB forums here at the Guild and ask for some help. I'm sure they will be more than accomodating.

Ran No Jidai looks quite a promisng mod.

It looks very good mod inded
it is a shame it is not relsed yet

**lt1956** · 01-25-2007, 18:05

EB isnt finished yet.

BUt to say which mod is the best is Opinion at best, There are SO many great mods I can give you some of my favorites or ones I am looking forward to.

SPQR:TW
The Crusades
Napoleonic:TW
Ran No Jidai

EB and RTR are both wonderful mods also, I'm just so used to SPQR now its hard for me to play a slower game with a ROME theme. I recommend all the above, but I wouldnt say one is better than the other, just different.

Sorry to see that justinian TW bit the dust as it was coming round the final bend of the Constantinople Hippodrome. With so many mods skinners and modellers must have little time to play any of the games.

When you dl it you get an icn. When you double click on this icon it then asks you where to install it. It has to be installed over the RTW exe file. In my case this was different to the default because I had RTW Gold Edition. After the installation iscomplete you should get an icentical looking icon on your desk top. When you double click on this you get a flash of RTW and then it begins to load albeit rather slowly.

Hope this helps
