General Summary

[century x]

Hello. Hello. A while back I asked about this mod and if it had 0 turn recuriment. It was answered and I was convinvnce to downlaod it. But I have not yet played it due to extreme problems on my computer which are now fixed and will start a campaign as soon as possible.

In this part of the forum there is alot of mods that have the name IBFD. I'm downloading version 7 and its upgrade 7.03. Now is there anything higher than that or is 7.03 the latest version.

What are all these other mods? Bottom line is my friends is that I want to play as the Romans and get my butt kicked all the way back to Iran from where my father is from. I want a real challenge here and I want to know is the 7.03 is the proper one to give me a challenge?

Thank you.

Hmm:hmmm:, now let me see. 7.03 is the latest version of IB. There is also IJ and Rio's IBFD. Each has its own style and represents different points of time in late roman history.

The original mod, IB, starts in 410AD with the empire divided into east and west parts. The Goths are in Italy under Alaric and are about to sack Rome. The Vandals are in control of Spain and the Sassanids in the east are being quite aggressive, and the Usurper Constantine is in control of Gaul.

IJ is a mod that focuses on the Emperor Julian. The main mod is set in 361AD when he inherits the throne after the timely death of Constantius II from a short illness. Julian is preparing to invade Persia and hopefully emulate Alexander the Great! He is in control of the whole empire from Hadrians Wall to the Syria.

There is also a provincial campaign which some people have said is very difficult. This is set in 355AD when Julian becomes Caesar in Gaul and in charge of protecting Gaul from the Germans . It is pretty intense.

Then there is Rio's IBFD. This is set in about 432AD and is focused mainly around the remnants of the Western Empire. It's a pretty difficult situation, the economy is shot, most of the west is under barbarian rule. Some people say that it is the most difficult of all the mods to play.

So there you are, a snap of each of the mods. All good, so take your pick, or even better try then all.

Go to the ifbd folder inside the data one, and go to options. You'll find all sorts of goodies.
