What are some good visually pleasing mods?

[sumaznguy]

I would check the other mod forums but it seems most of them don't have screenshots of the units that I could find.



I am mostly concerned of cool looking units lol. Good gameplay would be a bonus on the side.

I like seeing lots of armored units if it matters(like most barbarian units don't look as impressive to me because they have all that flesh hanging out.) While lightly and heavily armored units(with decorations and whatnot) look amazing.



I only have Rome Total War. No expansion. Although I am considering getting Barbarian Invasion.


Thanks in advance for your time and input.

SPQR looks good from wat screenies i have seen of it. But tbh most of them have v good skins so just try a few and see...

RTR (plus some awesome sub-mods like ExRM & Limes')- SPQR - Roma Surrectum

Both Chivalry and the Crusades got some awesome units.

The units in Europa Barbarorum are complete eye candy. Every factions units are excellent. As a matter of fact if I recall correctly EB won the Best Units in an RTW mod award here in the TWC Mod Awards.

That sounds awesome.

I am already playing RTR btw. Its fun. Awesome looking units too. Of the units I encountered I would say the armored hoplites look the best(lots of armor and awesome looking decorations on the armor).

XGM has some very good looking new skins on many of the Greek units, I especially like how the new hoplites, phalangites, armored phalangites, and Spartan Royal Guard look.

QFT.

The Cohors Imperiata(or whatever theyre called lol) look absolutely stunning. The other units look amazing as well, but those really stick out as pure beauty.

EB and RTR are good mods.

Roma Surrectum is the best mod i have ever had.
