Re: Need Mod Recommendations? Ask Away Here
Well, i guess i will start by asking what is the main differences between what seem to answer my wishes: Deus Lo vult, Land to Conquer, Rise of Kings and Anno Domini. Would you recommend one in particular? What I am looking for is:
- longer campaign
- strategy for late campaign (large empire costs more)
- improved AI, both campaign and battle
- ancillaries improvements, better hereditary vices and virtues and such
- better formations
- raised overall game difficulty
- raised siege difficulty (those massive walls crumble waaaay too fast!!!):no:
Thanks to all
Cheers :smile:
etz

I tried other mods only briefly, but to me, Lands to Conquer was flawless. Or, let's say, almost flawless... And it fulfills all your conditions there as far as I'm concerned. And after all, it's made by the legendary Lusted. :P (kidding... I hope it doesn't offend anyone, and you don't consider it a big reason to play LtC)

I've tried Road to Jerusalem,and Vanilla + Darth Mod. RtJ was a bit to easy in my opinion, giving money too easily... I was a big fan of RTR, not for the realism (I don't really care), but for the longer battle and improved gameplay.
Right now, I deeply hesitates between Land To Conquer and Stainless Steel, both ready for 1.2. I can see Stainless Steel has more shiny goodies ("Blood, Broads, & Bastards" features, new faction, graphics, mercenaries), while LTC is more pure and may be more balanced.
So, anyone can help me ?
Thanks to all

I'd say Stainless Steel is a bit buggy and untested. I'm personally using LTC for the 1.2 patch.

Well, SS is a very complex and big mod and I can assure you that I've used most of my time to test all the new features.
Also I make very regular updates and I'm constantly searching for bugs and a better balance for the campaign and battles.
The new SS 3.1 patch eliminates all known bugs of the 3.0 full version.
And finally I think LTC and SS are quite different mods, if you want to play a better vanilla game go for LTC, if you want a harder game and an overhaul of most game aspects you should try SS.
Just my little self-promotion... ;)
Re: Need Mod Recommendations? Ask Away Here
Are there any mods that have a significantly smaller map, similar to the original Viking Invasion expansion?
Re: Need Mod Recommendations? Ask Away Here
Have there been any mythology mods? Not sure if this is possible but I love mythology and would like to know if anyone has tackled this or plans to.
Re: Need Mod Recommendations? Ask Away Here
Depends what you mean by mythology. There are some fantasy mods out there, if this is what you're asking...
Re: Need Mod Recommendations? Ask Away Here
I guess mythology could be considered fantasy. I was thinking more like the Illiad and Odyssey type of mythology. Greek and Roman Gods and battles involving humans that have certain gods behind them. Maybe the cultures that worship the same god band together to attakc opposing cultures that worship other gods. Or something like the Trojan War with heroes like Achilles and Hector.
If not, then are there any fantasy mods that are complete yet? I see alot in the works but did not notice any complete or in the beta stage yet.
Re: Need Mod Recommendations? Ask Away Here
There is a Troy: Total War (for RTW). Other than that, nothing done...
Re: Need Mod Recommendations? Ask Away Here
Thanks
I will check it out.
