Seeking Guidance on Mod Preference(s)

**Battlerager** · May 10, 2010, 05:33 PM

Okay, I attempted to search the /submod forums to check reviews, and peoples opinions - but at this stage there are tens of thousands of responses, and it has become somewhat difficult to navigate. Some TATW submods are more in-depth than most game mods!

I've always enjoyed playing mods with TW games, but I generally prefer mods that don't alter everything - I've had bad luck with CTDs and such. Now...that is not always the case.

Naturally, there are the following "heavy weights":

Real Combat + Recruitment for TATW 1.4.1

Divide And Conquer - An Expanded Faction Mod

Middle Earth Enhanced - a mod compilation for TATW 1.41 and RC/RR May 7
(this appears to be gaining a lot of popularity quickly, despite being a recent addition)

Middle-earth Lore submod
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=269194

By listing these, I'm not attempting to insult, or disregard the other mods out there - but there are several hundred active mods. That is a testament to how much TATW has gained in popularity, attention, and the fact it is such a quality product.

While navigating the /submods forum I basically got lost. I felt like a Hobbit in Fangorn trying to find a tree that's a different shade of green than the rest of the green.

Thoughts? Personal mod preferences? Likes/dislikes? Go away hamster you're scaring the children?

That's my personal favorite. IMO it rebalances the game very well, along with adding a lot of other very good changes and additions to the game. I highly recommend it.

Middle Earth Enhanced contains the lore submod, and adds some nice stuff to the game without actually changing the game too much. If you like the way vanilla plays but want something extra, that's the one to go with. If you want a total overhaul and re-balancing, go with RR/RC.

I tend to agree with Yarrum. And if you want more factions in the game, go with divide and conquer

and RR/RC also contains many many other submods tat work al together in this mod:

so go for 'Middle Earth Enhanced' - there you have 'Middle Earth Lore' submod and a few other mods/tweaks in one package - than also install RR/RC - both working together without CTDs.
