Evariste Presents:

Evariste's Good Mod for the Medieval 2 computer game: Bad Mod

From the creator of the Total War Center Podcast comes the modding event of the year.

A genius finally graces Medieval 2 with his brilliance.

EGMM2CGBM is the result of a culmination of talent and physical attraction.

Many mods try to make the game play of Medieval 2 better.

I, in characteristic acuity, want to make it worse.

That's right, just the sort of out-of-the-box thinking that you expect from me, Evariste.

Features to expect:

• Artificial intelligence worse than vanilla Medieval!
• Game-crippling bugs!
• Ludicrously un-balanced factions!
• Historical events that didn't actually happen!
• (Coming in version 2.0) Trojan horse computer virus included in the installer!
• Fully developed Lithuanian faction!

EGMM2CGBM is currently looking for capable modders/artists/scripters/historical consultants. Please apply in this thread.

Coming Soon

Sounds really great. Many games did try to totally annoy me this year, but your mod will surely beat them all. I'll most likely cry, bite into my keyboard and throw my PC out of the window eventually!

I can't wait! Keep up the really bad work!

[selenius4tsd]

It would be an honour to be on the team!
No really.. Im being serious now.

[DisgruntledGoat]

I'm not quite sure what to think of this. Is it a mockery of some mods? Is it a mockery of all mods? Are you just drunk and having a good time? I'm a little confused.

Maybe this is "Totalnator 3 - Rise of the Moderators"?

Ha, ha, having just started trying to mod M2, I think I can happily say I am qualified to join this team...

Would you like the new added features of :

• Added suspense (you never quite know when you'll next be visiting your desktop....)
• More useful and polite messages ("Medieval 2 has encountered an unspecified error.....")

[shonelli]

sucks

[LSJ]

I could help out a lot! I can add three provinces to a map before it crashes. And I can code well enough that the game seldom loads.

[Evariste]

sucks

Exactly!

Now you're getting it.


I've been working diligently on getting some concept art done, and I'll try to upload them when I get a chance.

[Turkeus]

This is definatly going to be a great mod to play!

[Methoz]

lol..really short name of mod..only 10 words
and EGMM2CGBM - sound as new version of weapon for USA
but idea of mod is good....

[Elric von Rabenfels]

Can I help? Can I work on the skins? You want new skins dont you? I could make the units look much worse than in Vanilla! Like green Genuese Hippies, with joints on the shields, 16x24 pixel resolution armors, everything you want!

[removeduser_426582376423734]

I put myself forward as the lead historian, whereby I can give information on the Kingdom of Popatia, and the Shyam Republic. What a great game it shall be!

- an AI worse than vanilla should be really hard to do - I think this aim is too high. Nothing beats the AI in 1.0 - after all an AI doing nothing equals no AI - and when it comes to actively acting stupid, 1.1s suicadility beats everything.
- the game is allready crippled with bugs - no unit works as it should after all and the AI allready is game-crippling by itself.
- I suggest giving them basically all the same generic unit roster - maybe one or two unique units - mmmh - wait - that feature allready is implemented for the most part...
- Yay! May I suggest implementing some really irrelevant ones as well?
- Looking forward to the trojan!
- No! Molvanîa was far more important at that time - I know - I'm a proud Molvanîan!

[Perikles]

Just don't forget the historically accurate nation of Bartix and their teenage mutant Barbie princess warriors!

[Halie Satanus]

In a rare move and due to the total awesomeness of this concept it is moved to the Mod com so it can get greater coverage.

[MasterOfNone]

I can help write some installation instructions that will create confusion in the average person who downloads the mod. I will follow some simple rules:

* use correct grammar
* use correctly spelling
* make sure everything is explained in detailed
* included screenshots
* included multiple download links & file formats & install methods

I'm very experienced in this this and can guarantee this method will have the desired effect nine times out of ten

I would suggest you also set up some cunningly-labelled threads for grabbing the mod and reporting back errors, ones that will lead astray even the most intelligent would-be player. Here are two examples:

Sticked Thread: DOWNLOAD THE MOD HERE
Stickied Thread: REPORT INSTALLATION ERRORS HERE

Lastly, as I bring a lot of former experience in modding to the Team - over 2 years of experience in modding and team management, maintaining the Fourth Age build, coding just about every aspect of the game, pioneering new tech-tree methods, writer of various tutorials including the EDB Guide, discoverer of various hidden potentials in the games such as the new culture slot - hinterland and temple prefixes - faction-specific building descriptions - specific mount type for effects - multiple upgrades on buildings - porting RTW win conditions into BI - and multiple bodyguard units - I think I am well qualified (and indeed would like to offer) to make the tea!

[Tacticalwithdrawal]

as an extremely dedicated and experienced modder (with over 3 weeks of work behind me) I would love to apply for the role of stroppy prima-dona scripter/historian. I will endeavour to:

• explain to all other members of the team exactly why their scripts are incorrect and how they could be improved
• ably demonstrate to the artists and skinners exactly what they have done wrong with their work (and I promise to learn what 'pixel' means before then)
• whine and winge about all aspects of the mod, and all decisions of the mod team that were not mine
• whine and winge about all aspects of the mod and all decisios of the team that were mine - either they have been implemented wrong or you are mistaken that the idea was mine in the first place
• promise not to deliver to agreed dates any and all critical deliveries I am responsible for
• drink all the tea MasterOfNone makes
• slag off any person who downloads the mod and then asks anything about it

All in all I think I will be an invaluable member and I look forward to explaining to you where you are going wrong

[Garbarsardar]

I already made the map (two versions), can I please join?

[Turk]

Maybe you should give every faction one unit and one city to recruit+
10000 money fand 10turns to recruit them....
Man this mod beats every RTW and MTW mod when i buy MTW i will play this at first
