ETW Mods Recommendations & Queries Here

[trueshadow21]

Is it possible to change some file that you can play with every nation like in other TW games, and if you cant is there are a mod that allows you to play with them?

There are mods (multiple ones actually), I haven't tried any myself but I know the ones that let you control emergent factions tend to have a lot of bugs. However, all the starting ones should work fine. Typically you should see them in the first couple pages of the Mods forum.

I've been playing the regular version of the game without any modifications for a while, and it has become repetitive. I'm looking for a good modification for the game that improves and balances gameplay and stays historically accurate (nothing too far out...). Any suggestions? (I'm thinking of something along the lines of what Stainless Steel or BC were for MTW).

Imperial Splendour is worth a try.Its my mod of choice at the moment.And when 2.0 is released it will be even better.

The closest thing you'll get to Stainless Steel is either Imperial Splendor, Darthmod, A Proper Empire, etc. (one of these, not all) + Additional Units Mod

I personally reccomend Imperial Splendor. Unfortunately there's nothing on a BC level yet, as right now it's not possible to edit certain key aspects

AFAIK, mods like this do not yet exist for ETW, because of lack of modding tools that hopefully will be released.

The only mods that exist now is minor mods that reskin uniforms, add more smoke and blood, allows all factions to be playable, changes unit stats etc.

I myself is saving myself for the real mods, although I may go for playable minors before then. (Playing my second game now, which is a long game).

More smoke and blood is always good, but not having modifications on the level of SS + BC upset me (but I'm not surprised...). By allowing all factions to be playable, do you literally mean all? For instance I can play as Georgia?

Yes you can.

I checked out the Imperial splendor. Alot of nice changes, especially naval combat and some AI fixes, but then again there are others I don't like such as removing grenades from the game. Although this would be historically accurate for 18th century, I still feel it detracts somewhat from the unit. Besides many changes seem to be pre 1.3, so I don't think they are necessary any more.

I'll download Imperal Splendour tonight... They removed grenades?

[ColdFire]

Trust me, it's a good change, IS 2.0 should be out in not to long, that will be closest yet to an SS type mod

Alright, thank you.

The present version of IS is compatible with 1.3.Add AUM + blood and smoke mod + the FX addon (on IS page).Most of the retexture mods work well + the flag and naval mods.It makes the game much more enjoyable.

in my opinioen IS is crap. ite makes ships and sholders way expensive!!!!! i canot play like that and it made battlels realy crap. if youe ar looking for a great mod in my opinion the best mod is definitly battle music changer http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=274801 i hav never had a more enjoyed empire totel war experience yet

[ARCHIEIKE]

The Rights of Man is very good in my opinion, the naval combat is a bit slow for my taste but i'm sure other people will like it!

...another version of kneel mod - I added prussian life guards...they look very impresive when you position them in kneel formation...Enjoy...

[Kanaric]

Is there any mod out there that lets you play as the nations you can't normally select?

Is there a money mod, so to speak.

Well, in my experience there isn't one that just gives YOU more money, the cheat mods tend to effect every faction. If you wanted unlimited amounts of money you could download the promo trainer at cheathappens.com.
