    Default Which Mod Is The Best Til Medieval 2?

    Hello, i havent played RTW for awhile and I wanted some input on what is the best mod to play for now until Medieval 2? I have a fresh install of RTW ready to be modded and I was wondering what should I mod it to? I have played RTR 6 and SPQR 4.3? before and I loved them both. Are they still the two best or are there any other ones that have frecently come out that are better?

    Are there better updated versions of RTR and/or SPQR? I havent played in about 4-5 months so im not sure if there are more patches of RTW? I have up to 1.5. I also have BI but I forgot if 1.5 is for BI or strictly RTW. I would like to avoid installing BI just to mod it, if I can, but are the latest and best mods only supportable with BI???

    Thanx

    the first triumvarte is an good choice for RTW gameplay, if you want something more medieval then i suggest Chivalry total war, it got crusade and everything

    Thank you. Can you tell me the differences in gameplay, the sizes of the maps, realism, numbers/differences in factions, difficulty?

    I want the largest map possible, prefer antiquity, because I will play middle ages when MTW2 comes out, a tough challenge(I liked SPQR cuz of this) and the size of the map with the different factions of RTR?

    Sorry if it is too specific, I appreciate you taking the time to help.

    Well currently I'm playing the BBW 8.1 mod
    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=150

    Gameplay wise- Has some interesting traits and a career system for most generals. The units are more accurate then vanilla RTW but less so then RTR (it's the middle ground). The map is huge and I think the timespan is roughly 280BC to 111AD

    If you want the more RTR realism then RTRPE
    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=197

    It's basically the same as RTR 6.0 Gold however it has some mods for it that give it BI features and even new factions

    I agree, you won't regret it, especially if you like playing as Romans. The RTR PE Metro&Naval mod is also excellent. RTR PE in itself is brilliant, really an amazing mod.

    If you want a big map, try DarthMod -- units are more vanilla than RTR, but it plays on a HUUUUGE map that totally changes the way the game plays, it's much more tactical.

    I like the sound of tactical, but i already installed RTR, its a ***** to go back, unless there's another way. I heard DarthMod was sweet. I'll try PE.

    thanx again 4 the input.

    Multiple installations are easy -- I have 3 or 4 separate mods installed at any one time. I think it's about 2.5 gigs or so per install -- just keep a copy of a clean RTW and duplicate it when you want to try another mod.

    if you want to install more than one mod and if you have BI installed then you can use the -mod function. i don't remember exactly on top of my head right now but if you search around, you can find it how to install multiple mods with one installation. also there is a tool called JSMGE which can also allow you to switch between mods.

    This is my reccomendation get JSGME, then install DM,TE,SPQR,RTR,ITW,and eventually EB when it comes out.

    My choice would go to RTRPE 1.6 with Imperator. Where it not that my PC can't run it proper without CTD's after a couple of turns. But that seems to be just me, so you could check it out.
