Accuracey (Mods)

[Cooter of Hazzard]

I'm probably going to reload RTW, but was wondering if I should put a mod on(in). I want to have something that is historically accurate and that improves the game play(dipl., cav., orders that work, etc.) I've been looking through the mods but theres so many I wouldn't know what to pick. Can I use more then 1 mod or will it screw up the game, are they easy to install(do I need to put them in a certain folder?) Never used mods before but I want to try. Thanks much.:hmmm: P.S. Do I need to patch 1st?, haven't looked to see how many there are.

first patch to 1.3, then 1.5 then make backup of whole rtw then install RTR 1.9 platinum

best historical mod

Yea RTR 1.9 must be the most historical accurate one, even if I don't know how great the gameplay is. I also recommend the SPQR mod, which is made more for fun but has got some accuracy as well.

If you are looking for a historically accurate mod Europa Barbarorum wins hands down.

[Ephialtes The Dog]

XGM is the best historically and in the amount of fun that you can get out of it.

XGM is a very fun mod, but historical accuracy has never been a priority for them. Europa Barbarorum is the most accurate mod available, but R:TR Platinum gets close. Of the two, R:TR is more accessible, while EB is more challenging.

RTR Platinum Edition with the Imperator II add-on... As Romans this will be the best, most rewarding and most hard fought game you'll ever experience.

Thanks again, I got RTRPE up and running. Can I put on more mods then 1? Checking out EB mod. P.S. Thanks Turk

Can I put on more mods then 1?

Generally one could say mods that come in an own folder in the RTW directory and don't overwrite parts of the orginal game can be installed together.

For example I have Chivalry and ibfd(Invasio Baraborum VII) mod installed and still can play RTW default by using the different start icons created.

O.K. thanks Max

I have both EB, RTR, XGM, Forth Eorlingas, and all work ok together over the same RTW/BI install.
