What is Darthmod?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Ftmch
Darthmod strives to make Empire: Total War a more challenging, realistic and epic game than before, as well as making it a more visually appealing experience, while still finding a good balance between realism and entertainment. This includes:
A more challenging and interesting AI, both in battles and in the grand campaign.
Muskets, artillery, ships and units behaving in a more realistic fashion, with longer range for muskets and artillery, intense melee fights and more realistic ship-behaviour.
New sounds, smoke effects as well as new textures for certain factions, made by some of the great members of this community.
And last but not least, increased unit-sizes to create an epic feeling where thousands of soldiers battle each other for victory.

Darthmod is the definitive total war game-play experience. Period.
Battles that actually work.
Campaign AI that actually helps.
Large armies that are satisfying to command.

I can do it in 2 words:
FRAKKIN' AWESOME! or how about in pictures:ETW without DarthMod

Darthmod Empire is...
No,the question is another...
What is Empire without Darthmod Empire?

Darthmod saved my ETW game from gathering dust on a forgotten shelve.
Darth Evil
Darthmod a realistic improvement it is, without it your hate towards ETW leads to the dark side which = not a good game. The apprentice of Darthmod you must become.

-Fantastic AI
-Historical accuracy
-Star Wars. Nuff said.

I am using DarthMod Empire 0,2 working well , Thanks to the Sith Lord
I don't get it about Upgrading to DarthMod Empire 0,3 ; I have DarthMod.pack inside -> Empire Total War\data and the script well in place -> Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
How should I place the new 0,3 (600 ko ) , without overwriting the 0,2 (40 mo ) : Same name

hey, great mod, thanks for doing this iv'e got a suggestion, maybe rework some of the dutch unit names? or maybe even make a unique one? because the dutch dont have any unique units and it makes playing them really boring!
elmo March 29, 2009 at 05:41 PM
Ottoman's units now are too strong
USMC RABBI March 29, 2009 at 07:37 PM
Hello, I need help. I’m use to just downloading the mods and installing them. I have never gone into folders and copy and pasted and what not. Can anyone out there that knows what they are doing possibly message me instructions that are simple to follow so I can get this mod up and running? Also will this mod work with the new blood and smoke mods. I don’t have them either but I was just wondering .

To Darth, Greatest modder in total war history. Honestly.

Faris_Elghoul April 01, 2009 at 06:22 AM

LawL_LawL April 03, 2009 at 01:16 AM
Ah, I just posted some slightly negative on one of the 3 mods of empire, and feel bad for the mod maker as well as feel bored because no new empire TW based material. But now that I see this, you just made my day/night .
