Submod Opinion

**Dr.Nick** · February 11, 2011, 08:45 PM

Hello all, I'm planning on starting a long campaign as Rohan that will keep my occupied for awhile.

I was considering running a submod or 2 this time around (last campaign i just did vanilla) and was hoping you could advise me.

Basically I was considering among these 3 mods.

Now I know that I can't run both FROME and Semedi's compilation together so I basically need advice on which I should go with for playing my campaign as Rohan. What do you guys think?

i suggest barons mod without total recruitment if you want a long game. the other mods wont really effect you as rohan other wise

Hello Dr Nick,

I have been playing with Frome a lot, and still am. In this mod, to the west of Rohan there is not only Isengard to deal with, but also the Wildmen of Dunland. Further the dwarfs and "wood" elfs have been split into two different factions. Which in my personal view is a good thing gamewise.

Because the Wildmen have been included, Isengard has not much room to expend. Therefore they will soon attack you. The good thing is that they are not that strong. They have only two provinces, but do get at least one army strack that will spawn. Anyway, you might be able to destroy them rather quick.

If you do not destroy them quick, you might be in for some pain. Because you start out at war with the Wildmen, and they are quite a strong faction. So, all in all, might be a bit of a challange in the West of Rohan.

Other then this, not much changes for Rohan. The mid and late game experience will depend on the situation of Gondor and the "Wood" elves to the north of Rohan. In my games it is arround 50/50 that one of these gets defeated by the dark lord.

Barons mod I have not played with, so cannot really comment on it, other then a lot of people seem to like it, so looks like a decent choise as well.

I always support Baron Samedi's compilation.

...with my EDU reworking, maybe

I always play my Rohan campaigns with Baron Samedi's submods because of the Beacons of Gondor and Total recrutment. I just can't stand Rohan's militia armies, they are very unrealistic. FROME is very good to but it might be too difficult if you are playing vh/vh.
