Submods

[lordcooper]

Hey everyone

I've been playing M2:TW for a fair while now, and recently decided to try out my first mod. TA being the obvious choice, it's downloading as I type this.

What set of submods would you recommend I use?
I'm particularly looking for something to force "Good" and "Evil" AIs to be a LOT more benevolent to their own. That said, I'm up for anything that y'all think will enhance my gaming experience.

Thanks in advance,

lordcooper

Welcome to TATW!
I'd recommend Baron Samedi's Submod Compilation. It includes many submods and at the beginning of each campaign you can choose which submods you want to enable for that campaign. It also includes a 'diplomacy' submod that does the following:

If you are a good faction and you are attacked by an evil faction, all your good allies will declare war on the evil faction that attacked you and all the evil factions evil allies will declare war on you. This also works the other way around.

So lets say you are Rohan, and you are attacked by the Orcs of the Misty Mountains. This submod will cause your ally, Gondor, to declare war on the OotMM. It also causes the ally of the OotMM, the Orcs of Gundabad, to declare war on you.

Baron Samedi's compilation contains this and much more submods, all of which you choose to enable or not.
I'd recommend you check it out!

There are a lot of submods that add a lot of flavor to TATW
Just take a look here

As mentioned, Baron Samedi's Compilation is really interesting...
I'd also recommend FROME
It adds more factions to the game

Thanks guys

Are they both compatible with each other?

Oh yeah, I have a Steam version of M2 and Kingdoms, just in case that makes a difference.

I don't know about the sub mods but do you know about the different instructions needed to install TATW when using steam?

I've downloaded the Kingdoms Launcher App tool. It claims to be able to modify my launcher to include TATW without any need to rename folders.

If that fails, it's just a case of renaming the folder in the name of another campaign and moving the original elsewhere isn't it?

Quick question as well: Is there any way I can set it up to have hero units be just the hero, without any bodyguards?

Yeah its just renaming the folder and that. I was just making sure. As for the heroes, I trust drecie 14.

Id take FROME+spankys mercenary mod, as it makes the game a lot more fun

You want fun?

COW vs TATW submod...

No individual heroes yet...
They still come with bodyguards...
I hear they're planning to make it work...
will probably be included in the next patch...
