ETW Mods Recommendations & Queries Here

What I thought up of after my first world domination with United Provinces by 1768 on Hard/VeryHard -- muhahahaha

Naval Port Battles -- If enemy occupy port with friendly ships and supporting troops invading (visa-versa) = Port Battle

Why - I want men pouring from ship(s) with cannon(s!) supporting against defending troops to mark my invasion. Or just let me open up with my ships! Because I want to know how 200 Indians booted out my 4x98 gun ships from a port?...anyone..?

But - This would require ships and men to be in the same battle

Officer Sticky (?) -- let me keep a little sticky link at the top of my window that quickly jumps between my "starred" officers and maybe cities (that I do most recruiting from) -- from SOASE

Trade Raid Battle -- For those auto resolvers out there -- make it so every once and awhile we get presented with a battle for raiding trade ship convoys. Since, like animals, we tend to survive in numbers and would group up ships before trying to pass raided routes.

Most of the time it would be a auto resolve situation but sometimes they might have a war ship masked as a merchant waiting for you to pull up along side.

Side bonus - This would give an opportunity to show how much we are getting from raiding supply lines and maybe show us how other trade improved because of the higher demand. Also it would help prevent raids from occurring for long durations.

Propagandist [spawned from Art Institute]-- A unit that inspires revolution. Send this guy into a town before you fight and have a chance that the government is overthrown when you launch your attack. Or that citizens and trained units turn to your side or are available for purchase (if mercs come back)

New Town Types! -- If you didn't guess from the "Art Institute" above, there needs to be more types of towns.

Refugees -- Using the same number that determines the city militia, you could make a proportional number of loyal civilians escape an invaded city to either be relocated or resettled as a new town.

If I auto resolve an invasion or have no troops - no one escapes if the city is lost.

Fear from being ruled by different religion, government, economy...?

Expansion of Power -- End game fun --

Allow me to change my campaign mode once I get the victory screen so I can choose to continue or claim victory. This could be useful for making mini campaigns. Give a queue of goals that preceded each other or arise at certain conditions.

Also give me some kind of way to look back at what I have accomplished. Maybe a map of the world as I conquered it and stats of who got slaughtered in my campaign -- famous battles w/ stats!! -- using saved games?

Famous Battles -- Where'd these markers go? Use monuments!

Population # for High/Low Class -- So I can see their numbers and maybe latter on I could tailor cities to higher/lower class people outside just taxing them differently.

I have more -- most are tweaks I see others working on and hope to see released through mods, patches and expansions.

[dead rabbit]

I don't know if anyone's already said this... and I think this is the right spot so...


I'd like to see an army men mod. The green dudes, camoflauge. I guess the years would have to be changed if that's possible. 1900-2000

Hell, it sounds like aircraft is taking off sometimes with the sound f-ups so that would fit right in. lol

The ships could be turned silver...


Or...


I'm thinking pirates of the carribean mod. You take control as Jack Sparrow or Barbarossa. With skeletons for pirate crew. lol

I've seen a horse become a giant lizard or a chocobo in Mount & Blade... and dragons in Oblivion.


Make it happen!

[Chaos1187]

Hot Seat.

[=IlgarKhan=]

thatd be g8 thx

[SyberSmoke]

I would like to see a mod for a few things. Here is my list really.

- Land Battle: Exploding Armories
This is tied to my next mod thought. But when you destroy an armory the powder magazine should have a chance to explode. This was a major issue in many forts as they had not planned well and did not dig a bunker. A well placed shot into the armory would blow the magazine and well...usually killed allot of people in the fort to boot.
Additionally, may be the ability to sabotage the armory of a fort so that the defenders can only muster half their usual ammo? Just a thought there.

- Land Battle: Burning Buildings
Why is it that I can hit a building with explosive and flaming rounds and nothing happens. Wooden buildings and they do not burn? I would think that a direct hit where the shell impacts and then detonates would cause significant damage and possibly set the building alight. From then it would continue to burn and degrade till collapse. The fire would also cause moral loss due to being in a burning building and a smart army should LEAVE!

- Naval Battles: More ammo types
They are already there, why not use them. Carcass, explosive, and shrapnel ammos were used by the navies for ship to ship as well as bombardment of fortresses. Why not use them in the game to. I honestly like watching enemy ships explode, it is fun. But also I think there is a place for them as each is an advancement of attacking and killing your enemy. And in major engagements it was more about sinking the enemy then it was about taking their ships.

- Land Battle: New Ammo
An addition of the Buckshot and ball ammo type. Combining a standard ball with three buckshot they are fired from smooth bore muskets for close range effect. Since four balls will have a better chance to hit then just one. This ammo is incompatible with rifled weapons.
I would also add a tech advance allowing grenadiers to use grenade launchers. These weapons were hand held and used a powder charge to launch a lit grenade at the target. This was dangerous though as the weapon once fired needs to be reloaded. Also, the chance of the grenade going off in the users weapon was also high.

Just some ideas, enjoy.

I will like to see a ship configuration interface which brings the posibility of change guns configurations and crew loads even change the commander or promote the best to admirals of fleet, something similar to Patrician III has.

Swiwel-guns or perriers, falcons,falconets mod, with those ship hut mounted guns would be nice.

YES! Totally agree...we really should be able to load out our ships as needed...right now it's just carbon copies of ships fighting each other. Ships were very unique in armament, crew quality, officer quality, sailing quality, etc. Would also like to see a regional bonus for ships constructed in places that historically built the best ships....like Rhode Island, Baltimore, Bath, etc.

[infernocanuck]

Perhaps it's hard coded, or tricky to do, but if it were ever possible to add more regions to the world map, I would be very happy. Even just adding a region or two with the really big areas. Somehow, I don't like the idea of taking a single region and then conquering all of Spain in continental Europe....

[PubliusKhannus]

agreed with infernocanuck, but i believe that the region section is hardcoded, not the traits and the like for the existing regions, but the ability to move and create new ones is.

[joreto]

Guys I saw in a video some order sounds ( like "Hold !", "Fire !" and so on...) can someone tell where can I find that

[PubliusKhannus]

Was it a cgi video? because in that case it was a make-believe feature.

[joreto]

Well I asked the man who made the video and he told me that the sounds aren't "ingame" and that they were added after the making of the video. But I think that making some new orders like the classic - "Make ready !" ; "Present !" ; "Fire !" is nod a bad idea

[sir.killalot]

somebody make a mod that removes that text plz

I JUST WANT THE STATS! ^^

[PubliusKhannus]

yea i think that those orders would add a great deal of realism and fun to the battle scene

[Mace1988]

Hi, I've seen a few posts on forums on the internet about a mod being available that either reduces or eliminates Clamor for Reform. I cannot find anything like that on the forum, am I missing something or is it floating around on here?

could someone make a mod that just makes highlanders recruitable for britain please ?

[KnezMilos]

I miss hotseat

[MilaneseDynasty]

At this point in time and until more complete re-works of ETW have been modded I am simply looking for a Mod that gives me more playable factions, any other general improvements i.e (being able to give fully volley fire from behind a wall instead of the ridiculous sproadic fire I'm getting at the moment.)
