    Default Best mods for rtw out there

    Well I've been playing RTW for a year or two now and ive gone through some pretty bad mods. So i was wondering are there any good ones out there, i have the BI expansion and i only need to install it, so if you could please reccomend some to me, possibly with a downlaod site, because the mod forums are really unorganized and i cant really find a place to download any.

    Europa Barbarourm and Rome Total Realism

    I personally like EB better than RTR, but many have different tastes. Look in the mod forums, you can easily find a download link for both.

    I've tried EB for a bit, it was great. Unfortunately, my computer couldn't handle it very well.

    If you have a good computer EB. If you have an average computer RTR I can't say which ones better though since I played both and they're great. If you want more action centered around the italian greek and asia minor/ middle eastern regions choose RTR. If you want action all around the world (settlements more spread out) choose EB.

    At least look at SPQR if you haven't, since its one of the oldest and most massive mods available. Also it is finished now so you won't have to restart your campaign ever to play a new version.

    There's a link in my sig to my screenshot gallery which is almost all SPQR.

    If you are looking to play outside the Roman Era, try:

    End of Days

    Fourth Age: TW

    Chivarly: Total War

    Those are great ones that you can use BI to play... and their DL links are easy to find, just look for the stickied topic that has the word "download" in it...

    And if you like long, interesting, and tactical MP battles, then definitely try Napoleonic 2: TW
    Chivalry - Total War I Settlement Plans and Buildings Dev...
    and Public Relations person, pm me with any specific questions concerning the mod...

    I love the Greek expansion mod. It gives a lot bigger variety and it's easy on your computer. Not to mention they're in the works of really beefing it up.

    Nobody's said Roma Surrectum yet?

    As far as Roman Era mods go:

    Personally, EB is the best for realism, its a huge mod which really has a lot of work put into it.

    XGM is a great mod especially for Hellenic factions, & expands the game without changing it too much from vanilla.

    SPQR provides plenty of huge epic battles and is heaps of fun, it's not focused as much on realism, but more on gameplay.

    Personally though, my fave is Roma Surrectum, its a nice balanced mod which isnt as big or overbloating as EB and is more complex & detailed than XGM.

    Hi skoalchawnker

    Like you ive been playing a year or two.

    I didnt want to compromise my vanilla installation so didnt download any mod until recently. I chose 'End of Days' after researching for good BI mod.

    The only regret..is that I didnt do this months ago. Its great. Im writing up the campaign as I go along. This will give you a feel for the mod:
