OT- What are the best M2TW mods?

**oudysseos** · 08-19-2007, 20:47

Yah thanks I thought that there would be some overlap of interest, also this is one of the most active forums, and is full of people likely to have valuable opinions. And of course I really want an EB level of quality, so where best to ask?

Edward- thanks. I'll have a look.

I've played:
Lands to Conquer - Kind of like vanilla plus.
Road to Jerusalem - Pretty good, but their stat/cost system needs balancing. I like their map.
Stainless Steel - Didn't play it too long. Seemed like another vanilla plus.
Rise of Kings - Pretty good, but the AI turns took too long for my computer to handle.

I really can't wait til some of the total converstion type mods start coming out with their first releases.

^The broken crescent is doing that . There is also a Persian wars -Pelopponesian era mod in the works too .

**MarcusAureliusAntoninus** · 08-20-2007, 01:32

Yeah, Broken Crescent looks good. That is one of the few that looking forward to.

I tried Lands to Conquer and it was ok, but didn't hold my attention long.

Then I found The Long Road and found it to be very good.

Since then I have switched to Deus Lo Vult and love the role play aspect of it (similar to why I like EB so much). I find myself playing it more than The Long Road (plus the TLR modder is gone for awhile celebrating the birth of a child).

I wish they could blend/merge DLV and TLR to make a dream mod, in my opinion. You can't go wrong with either. But also remember, M2TW mods are not as stable or complex as RTW mods (especially EB) since they haven't worked on them as long.

yeah, torn is enjoying his break atm. Once he gets back up to speed and churns out the next patch (major overhaul), its going to

every other mod

The Long Road was the first major mod I tried and I instantly fell in love. Perfect pacing mostly and economic challenge. It's just great. Then more recently I tried DLV and it's a lot of fun for all it's traits and RPG type elements. As Piper said, a sort of combination of the two would be an absolute dream mod. Eh. Anyhoo, I have an AAR going with the DLV mod (link in sig) if you want to maybe get an idea of what that's like. Oh and put Broken Crescent on your "must download" radar. That's gonna be one hell of a mod when it's out.
