R:TW Recommended Mods

Post by The Vortex Empire »

I've been playing Rome Total War lately, as M2TW has been getting a little stale. I was wondering if there are any must have mods for the game.

Ones that reduce training time for units would be good, taking two turns to recruit good units makes it take forever to raise an army.

You can dick around with the building times easily enough.

I don't have the game installed right now, but if you can find the build times line, and just replace 2 with 1, all will be right.

or a 0 and get the entire build que in one turn.

The Hadrian (buildings) and Caligula (units/ships) editor tools do all this for you and they even have batch use tools to change multiple entries at once.

Do you have BI?

If so, Invasio Barbaorum is the best mod ever. Seriously, it fixes most of the problems BI had in the history department and even has better looking units.


For Vanilla, try either Rome Total Realism or Europa Barbaorum.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

Thanas said it. Invasio Barbaroum also has a number of sub-mods that alter the period of the gameplay, such as the reigns of Aurelian, Julian, and Justinian.
