hey anons, what are your favorite Total War mods? Been playing a few (very few actually) Medieval 2 ones. I like Insularis Draco and Total War: Elder Scrolls + Unofficial patch + Tamriel Enhanced. These submods makes the game less insane at the cost of the game being slower and more small scaled and i'm pretty sure a few units are missing. Anyways>Testing the mod out so i play the easiest faction (Daggerfall)>As any good Breton should, i decide to wage war against orcs>conquer all the puny Breton kingdoms until i reach Orsinium>Destroy all of it, rename it Bretonbull after the virile BRETON BVLLS currently breeding out a new generation of Breton-Orc ubermensches>Daedra invade>Use suicidal cav charges and a fuck ton of mages to push them back during sieges>Mod has oblivion travel option>Go into Oblivion with a diplomat and 5 merchants>make insane bank off of Ebony mines>Sell whatever Orcish settlement i conquer to Daedra>Just sort of bored right now, most of the other cool new game events like the Maormer invasion or Wild Hunt don't really touch Highrock>Most Advanced Faction constantly pendulums between me and fucking Valenwood somehow>Send a diplomat to Cyrodiil>holy shit this place is a clusterfuck, there's just hordes of undead and multiple rump states killing each other after the Emperor died>Thalmor dont even do anything>Continue making the most prosperous society on Tamriel
>>2415072im pretty sure diplomacy is just insanely broken or something, i keep exterminating populaces and shit but everyone is constantly at a reasonable 5/10. definitely unfinished but it's really fun. I think i want to play Bosmer or a Dunmer house next, i wonder if they can let you play Telvanni.
Anyone tried that? How stability with other mods?https://github.com/Pannoniae/rex
Warcraft Total War is really fun and doesnt run slow. Stormwind is a great tutorial campaign because you are only in a two front war.
>>2415072I had fun with THERA-Legacy of the Great Torment, Hyrule Total War and Call of Warhammer.
I really like DAC:AGO for Medieval 2, because of the sheer amount of features, which notably includes the Med2 engine overhaulhttps://www.divide-and-conquer-ago.com/features/
>>2415094What does the overhaul do?
>>2415137The engine overhaul project for Med2 does stuff like fixing vanilla bugs, makes AI less retarded, AI will make big armies instead of running around with a million shitter stacks of like 5 units, AI allies help you in battles and sieges (by default their AI completely turns off you both border a faction together), AI gets stuck in battles less, AI will attack multiple castle gates and walls in sieges
>>2415072In the og Medieval TW, I increased the firing rate and projectile speed of the arquebus to turn it into machine guns.
>>2415072the implications of this image are so insanely funny. Using the Oblivion travel feature btw.
>>2415094Yeah AGO is great, mostly because of the EoPTsardoms 3 is releasing in a few hours and will also use EoPHoping it will be a real good time
Europa Barbarorum. Not the 2nd one for MTW2 engine, that sucked.
>>2416109Comparison?
>>2415072One of the mods with which I had the most fun in this game.
Played pretty much all of the M2TW mods. I'd recommend Stainless Steel, Broken Crescent, and Third Age Total War. Only two I still play are SS and BC.
>>2415072This is what my current map looks like, Diplomacy somehow comes off as even more broken than Vanilla because my ally Shornhelm as not betrayed me once. Been fighting the Eastern Hold Nords who are basically the Stormcloaks at this point in the timeline considering the Thalmor are active now. Anyways, the Easthold Nords are fucking bullshit to fight because most of their troops have silver or golden chevrons for some reason. Their Western counterparts (solitude) can't even fight them, the Empire is having a hard time fighting them too. It's crazy. So yeah, most of Craglorn at this point is probably a wasteland with how much we fight there, the Reachmen can't even do anything, they're just a horde now. I don't know how and i don't know why but even after all the exterminations the Orsimer are still around. I'm pretty sure Shornhelm is just sending endless numbers of men trying to destroy their last stronghold or something.
BoTet. And the 3.0 version comes out next month. A true Warhammer fantasy experience not the lukewarm shit from creative assembly.
>try new Tsardoms version>Fall of Constantinople crashes constantlyOh well. I guess I will just play SS or Third Age again.
You guys looking forward to the RTR Imperium Surrectum update? Looking really good from what ive seen.
>>2426545Not really. The mod is bloated as fuck and the campaign isn't fun to play.
Fantastical conversion mods offering new settings and factions >>> historical mods making the game 20% more historically accurate and 200% more boring and irritating
>>2415072evropa barbarorvm is the absolute best mod there is for any and all total war games.
>>2427245Trve
>>2415094>>2415956This shit doesn't work for me. EOP seems to be corrupting my med2.exe file
>>2427891What version you have? Disc, GOG or Steam?Cracked or OG exe?
>>2427900It's the prophet crack. The exe is the original I think. The crack dir only had dlls
>>2415072I played the shit out of Insularis Draco recently. The amount of effort and detail put into that mod is incredible. It makes modern CA look like complete amateurs in comparison (see: thrones of britannia)
>>2427934Anon...
>>2426545Yes. Romans, EB-style govt buildings, every province being unique in what they can build. A history buffs wet dream. The republic units look beautiful, cant wait to see what the legions look like.
>>2428015Wat? I wasted all day yesterday until I gave up. Tell me what I need to do. I sunk in too much time. I had the perfect copy which worked on DaC a few years back but DaC just worked by using the .bat not a new program like EOP that seems to be corrupting the exe for me with the 0xc000 error
>>2428015>>2428347Cmon, help me out anon
>ddl I assume you mean the steam files? The crack should still have an exe. >helpDo you have a kingdoms.exe? If not make a copy of your medieval 2 exe and rename it to kingdoms.exe. And why are you using a steam crack for a 20 year old game?
>>2428456Crack doesn't have an exe. It's the steam api dll and an ini file. Somehow, I can play all the dlcs from kingdoms. The problem is eop somehow fucks up the exe>why using steam crackI was retarded enough to download it. And the perfect copy I had is gone since my old hardisk went under. >rename to kingdomsTried it. Didn't work
>>2415072Stainless steel.
Rule Britannia was the last one I played and pretty good, a more indepth version of the vanilla Britannia campaign.>>24285392nd this, most ive evenr got into any Total War campaigns.
>>2428539I just wish sship didn't give archers such massive range. It's like they don't understand that the maximum range and the effective range aren't the same.
>>2430006I like Stainless steel but I hate the SSHIP and titanium versions, they go to far and make it a depressing and tedious game to play. I want total war but good, not a modder trying to turn it into their own game.
>>2430287That is true. Well, kind of. I like mods that add more factions and make units look more historical, but I generally dislike campaign mechanics autism.That said, SSHIP I didn't find that hard, you just hire mercs and push, once you take out one faction it gets fairly easy.
>>2430006SSHIP is completely fucked with both the campaign scripts and the unit costs/upkeep
>sshipYou know for a mods trying to improve the historical accuracy they sure haven't done a lot to actually improve the unit roosters. Renaming some units and factions isn't going to make the mod more historical.
There are two types of M2TW mods:>Vanilla+ ModsAttempts to refine the base game while still feeling vanilla>Autism Difficulty ModsThe game has a bunch of esoteric mechanics you need to read a manual to understand while at the same time giving the AI many cheats like infinite money, instantly spawning armies, lower construction and recruitment times in order to "balance" the AI.
