I mod my game in a bunch of ways whenever I play. The changes I usually do-

-Reduce each turn from 2 years to 1 year.
-Tinker with the traits
-Give the Mongols and Timurid more experience
-Reduce effects of squalor and increase effects of religious unrest
-Add some AI packs
-Increase the experience of mercenaries
-Increase starting garrison sizes
-Reduce amount of rebel armies while increasing the amount of pirates

Once I figure out how add resources and rebel armies I want to add a bunch of gold mines in lower Africa with a bunch of rebel armies protecting it.

I'm going to have time to tinker around with the game on Wednesday, if I put everything into a file and give instructions on how to install it would anyone be interested in trying it out?

Yeah I hear a lot about that mod on TWcenter forums. I still haven't given it a shot yet though I should. As far mods go for the game, I really liked Broken Crescent.

I'm currently playing Scotland and only capturing rebel settlements and waging war against non catholic nations. The one time I was excommunicated became a disaster for me when I played as Venice. I feel it is lame how when the CPU gets excommunicated, they usually get reconciled shortly after and never have I seen the pope call a crusade on a excommunicated nation except me.

Modding is fun. I mod in Doom 3. I'd like to make turns half a year in Medieval II instead of 2 years.

Rome>MEII>Empire

Agreed.

I'm going to re-install and play it tonight. Was thinking about starting a BF2s campaign aswell as a normal campaign for me. Sort of like a lets play, with BF2s as the counsel/generals/cabinet/whatever you want to call it. See how far we can get and what we can come up with. I dunno if it'd work with it being an in depth game, or whether it is a shit idea. Just thought it up considering I stick to nations that suit my playstyle, and doing what bf2s says might be fun, especially with some of the less common factions.

Anyone would want to give it a crack?

I'm looking forward to Rome II

Shogun 2 was flawed by a pathetic peasant army can defeat elite units of same cost bug.

I have a couple friends who are pretty invested in playing the Third Age mod.

Naw but seriously I like your idea.

You need a poll for which faction to play. I suggest Britain, as I've heard you're good at archer spam.

But polls do not work.......

Well it can be any starter faction, I don't have access to Scotland etc as I am doing a fresh install. I will play a campaign as France as well.

from memory I think, England, France, Spain, Holy Roman Empire and Venice.

Although I have the Kingdoms expansion, which might be interesting. I havent played it yet but here is its wiki.

A Kingdoms campaign would be cool. If you want a challenge either do Mayan or Aztec during the Spanish campaign or the Seljuks during the Crusades. If you are playing the base game Venice is a tough start. Uniting Italy is really tough for an inexperienced player. Spain is fun and a challenge since you will be fighting Muslims from day one. HRE and England are too easy.

BF2S Forums [Medieval II: Total War] Does anyone still play?
