what are mods

[bhs_runner]

I am pretty new to RTW and the whole TW serious for that matter. So could somebody explain to me what Mods are?



Thanks

mods are modifications to RTW to make the game different, they usually involve new skins(looks) for units, new factions and other things. some popular modes are Rome Total Realism, SPQR, and Europa Barbaroum (sp?). Anyway, they make the game different from the vanilla (original) version.

by the way, welcome to the forums

or you might see some members refer as some people as mods. That means moderators. seperate from a game mod.

and welcome to TWC

Check out the hosted community projects-section here at TWC. They offer a great deal of mods to download, or mods that are still in progress.

Some mods will have different requirements then other: some are made for the 1.2 patch of the game (most of the mods), others are made for the expansion... You'll see that in their individual forums.

You might also want to check out this thread : you'll find all the mods finished already, so you don't have to check every subforum (which will take some time since there are a lot of mods :wink: )

Here !
Go to the subforum of your specific mod, read the instructions, download it, install (read instructions) and play!

!!!Make sure you have the right version of the game...
