Submod Index, Recommendations and Questions - updated for 3.2

[Cheimon]

Are there any mods that allow me to change from fortifications to settlements and then grow my villages much faster? I'm annoyed that (currently) it takes far longer than in Medieval II to grow a city and so I miss out on all the cool stuff for ages. Also, capturing a motte and bailey or village is almost useless since they never grow into anything significant and I can't upgrade the roads either.

Thank you all for your advice. I will start with TATW Realsim but might well try out the other ones. One question about MOS, you write it contains RC/RR, but when I look the mod up it says this only works for version 1.4.

[Ngugi]

RC/RR is a standard content of MOS, its in all versions and have been so for a long time

Dunno where you read that it only work in v1.4? Should be edited if so, but I can only find the changelog note that we updated some of the RC/RR parts in 1.4, not that we removed it in 1.41 hehe

[Araval]

I think he meant TATW 1.4.

[Ngugi]

Doh! ^^
Well yes, RC/RR is only for TATW 1.4, while MOS (that have a modified versions of RC/RR within) works with TATW 3.2 naturally

Hi, because of the upcoming Hobbit movie, I 'd like to start again playing TATW. But I am looking for a mod that will somewhat balance the factions (by adding new units prefferably) , because I enjoy playing as Goblins, but the lack of heavy infantry annoys me and the fact that half of my armies are Snaga javelinmen. I 'd like to deactivate the garrison script, and some of the bonuses I hear the AI factions have (Long story short, I 'd like a closer feeling to vanilla M2TW). So could you please help me?

[ElvenKind]

Well, in PCP you can build all units from the start ( and if you have barracks built for them ofcourse ), no garrison script, some bonuses are removed, some are added, lot of new buildings, factions, units, creature units, custom campaigns etc.. There is no script selection, only few of them ( like Extra cash at the start, Quick play, Lore diplomacy or not..) If you want more scripts, events and looonger campaign (12 TPY ), then there is MOS. You can check either of them in my signature. Enjoy!

[eugenioso]

as it says on the title. im kind of bored of the elven skill at arms in vanilla, so i want some of the better ones. does it exist?

[k/t]

Yes. Darth Lord Revan and Nemesis_GR each made an EDU for 3.2 according to RC principles, beginning with the EDU of the RR/RC Compilation for 1.4.

I am currently updating my 1.4.1 install to RC 2.0 and I'll make a version for TA 3.2 as well, if there is interest.

[Hero of the West]

Also MOS has the 2.0 version from Point Blank

[k/t]

He made it himself or you did from the guide?

Garrison and money scripts can be deleted from campaign_script.txt -> D:\SEGA\Medieval 2 Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

A new campaign is needed for the changes to take effect.

Hello Everyone, I hope you can help me out.

I have been playing 3.1 with the Samedi Sub-Mod set and I -Love- it, However I have seen 3.2 has some upgrades -and- there some Sub-mods with extra factions and such. What I want to know is if there is a Sub-Mod pack out there alot like the Samedi Mod-Pack.

Things such as;
-Total Diplomacy
-Real Recruitment (Shorter Recruit times)
-Immortal Nazgul and 'The Nine' Riders who Mordor can start with.

These are some of my favorite things about the mod, not including other things such as the face you can make it a 'Good VS Evil' or not.

Basically, is there a Mod-Pack out there for Third Age Total War 3.2 that is the same or better then the 3.1 Samedi Set?

Thanks.

From the top of my head that would be MOS, while no one else cover all that: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...26#post8827226

Alright, so another question: is there a mod for recruitment that gets rid of the barracks events and lets me recruit the good troops from the beginning? I very much enjoyed that with Baron Samedi's compilation for 3.1, and I currently am playing with MOS, which is lacking that one feature (that's about the only thing it lacks. Everything else is pretty awesome!) I know some might say I'm going for an "arcade" style of play, and they'd be right. I like the feeling of playing with the MOS options for the AI to have larger stacks. I'd just like them to be decent units on both sides. Gives the whole thing a more epic feel. 50 turns of paving battlefields with Snaga bodies using militia...not so epic.

Alternately, which files effect that barracks event, in the event I just have to edit them myself?

Hm, PCP lets you recruit ALL units from the start, but you have to build barracks and other military buildings ofcourse to get them

And plus, ALL OTHER bulidings which give you armor boost, experience, archer ++ skills, EXTRA free upkeep buidings, extra trade bonuses etc.

You find instructions in the vanilla TATW FAQ http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=509455
Go down to Q:Why can't I recruit advanced units like Eldar units or Trolls ?

Thanks! Didn't really think to look in FAQ's for information about how to edit files, not something typically found in a FAQ thread. This will make my Eriador campaign a bit more fun...yay for fighting OoMM and OoG with their troll armies while using the still mediocre top-tier troops of Eriador!
