Sorry if this is a noobie question but if two people had the same mod could they still play a lan with a friend who also has the same mod?

I think so, im not realy sure though

Yeah as long as you have the same version you can play them. I have played NTW2, XGM and Bare bones mods online with friends and lan works the same way

oh right thanks guys, i was thinking of downloading the XGM mod, anyone tryed it? I havent really every tryed mods before for the reason that i like to play online, but i mite try it out soon

yeah i dled it but it isn't that well balenced for m2 as me and a friend found out. We both had 1 elephant each and he sent his out on a solo mission and killed half my units before routing. but then i may have lost 50% of my men but i still had my ele

so i engaged his infantry and ran my ele unit right through the whole of his lines and killing hundreds of men with a few elephants. Also there are some really powerful crossbow like units that seleucids get which can kill a unit of spartans in a matter of a few shots

.

Maybe you should DL NTW2 mod as it is really only for online play and is really quite good

I have XGM and love it. It really fleshes out the Hellenic factions, adding a lot more units, and thusly a lot more diversity. For example, the Greeks have hypaspists, true heavy cavalry, even elephants if they have the right cities. If you have Barbarian Invasion you can use the BI executable to play it and get things like night battles and swimming.

If you like playing the Hellenic factions, you will like XGM. I have played a Greek XGM game, and I am currently doing a Macedonian one.
