Best Mods For Rome Total War



There are a lot of Mods out there for RTW so these are just my favorites that I have actually played. I will post links for these Mods in my post so you may easily find them. The first I would like to mention is Rome Total Realism 6.0 Gold. You can find it here http://www.rometotalrealism.org/index-2.html. The first thing I noticed about this Mod was the huge extended campaign map. Larger than the original but with many more cities added. This allows for many more conquests and who would not like that? The other addition to the Mod I liked was the Area of Recruitment restriction. If you were playing Rome for example you could not recruit Roman legions if you were in North Africa or say Great Britain. You can still recruit but at a much more limited selection of troops. The other improvement I enjoyed was the extended battles. In RTW the battles would end in around 5-10 mins when one side would break and run. In RTR the battles are longer due to increased hit points and larger morale. Last I would like to mention the music pak they also provide in an optional download from the Mod. I would some times play just to hear the music! It was really well put together and made game play really enjoyable.
Now for my second Mod I suggest Europa Barbarorum voted #1 mod by the way. Here is the link to this sitehttp://www.europabarbarorum.com/downloads_mod.html . In this Mod the Barbarian tribes are stronger along with the rebel units as well. The work on the campaign map alone is awesome. Larger and much more detailed than RTW. Like RTR it offers new music to listen to. In EB they break the music down to different factions. For instance Roman,Eastern and Hellene themes. Many new factions are add as are very many new units. Also added are special events depicting historical events. All said and done a very enjoyable Mod
