**ATTENTION** Anything New?

Hey Fellow TW Fanatics!

Sorry to start a brand new thread about this, but I have been away for a long while. I was really ill and working hard to get better, but finally I have managed to find some time to buy both Napoleon Total War AND Shogun 2 Total War. Before I stopped playing last year I had been following the modding community pretty intensely, yet I couldn't seem to find any Feudal/Medieval European based modifiations even though the opportunities seemed to be endless. Unlike Rome and M2TW ETW and especially NTW allow for full contact involving the entire units rather than just the first two ranks or even one rank that plagued RTW and M2TW. I was just wondering, are there any mods out for either Napoleon Total War or Shogun 2 that focus on the era of Medieval 2 or anything regarding Feudalism or Medieval combat in general?

I loved Medieval II, but I was very disappointed by the engine in the regard that only the first rank fights and that really ruined the game for me. I still played fanatically for years, but I stopped after I realized that they would not change the engine to allow whole units to fight together rather than just the first rank... Since ETW and especially NTW allows for the entire units to fight one another, I was hoping someone would make a Feudal mod or a Greek or Roman mod. I was wondering if any had been released worth their salt?

Thanks for any info if you don't mind just pointing me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated friends!!

Sinerely and Resectfully,

Well I hate the one to tell u bad news but.....there arent any really there is a WIP mod for empire that takes place in acient times but there hasnt been a release and it dosent seem the project is being worked on but..... if you want more melee oriented fighting with the new engine well.....ur just gonna have to by shogun 2....... but thats japan and only japan so no knights or legionaires just samuria and crazy monks loping each others heads off(love it btw) but i doubt a medieval or anctient times mod will ever be released for ETW/NTW there just isnt the tools or resources to make it viable for modders to really do. They can ad skins for units but there are no tools to change ships or the map. sorry to burst your bubble

thanks for the info! guess i'm going back to Europa Universalis III lol

There has been one mod set during the Roman republic (for Empire though) that I've seen get work done.

It does have a beta showcase out for a Rome vs. Gaul custom battle.

For ETW this one is set 1400 AD but i have no idea what it is like. There is also a couple of 1600 or "pike and shot" mods in the ETW section

The ETW mod looks good but you need one of the DLCs to play it.

Prob with ETW and NTW is that your not going to get any good campaigns until the map is cracked. If we cant make new campaigns, add new regions, etc than campaigns will become boring and there wont be too many mods. I have no interest in the Roman mod without a matching campaign map.
