Re: help please about mods.
Sorry, that one I can't help you with. I played Rome once through and lost interest, and didn't get M2TW, ETW, or NTW. Fortunately, those modding forums are more active, and you should be able to get a quick answer on those. I think the later ones might have tools for it, but I'm not sure.

I believe RTW and M2TW allow so called "mod folder" installs, where you can still play the original game with a mod installed without having to install a second copy.

Indeed. I currently have MTW2 Retrofit and Third Age both running from the same installation.Originally Posted by Asai Nagamasa

That's exactly what I did - once burned by Rome's godawful gameplay, I chose to not try any of the others. Don't think I missed out on much.

I think I played M2TW once or twice for about a total of 20 minutes, I spent most of the time installing the two gargantuan patches.That's exactly what I did - once burned by Rome's godawful gameplay, I chose to not try any of the others. Don't think I missed out on much.

Re: help please about mods.
I liked the battles of RTW and M2TW. When the TW series switched to a 3d map, the Strategic AI became terrible and it gets worse with each new game. Mods for RTW and M2TW compensate for the lack of strategic AI by giving it unlimited funds. It can be fun to battle massive enemy troop stacks, but you get worn out after a while. For ETW, there is no strategic AI at all, and the battles are more tedious than fun.
I am here today after giving up on ETW. I am convinced that the AI in TW Games simply does not know what to do or how to behave on a 3d map. In order to find a challenge or a good AI, I have to look back to games that are 5 to 10 years old and hope that they run on my computer.
