Best Mod For Empire Total War
Welcome to!A subreddit for all of those who love the Total War series. Idk if you can find download links for it anymore.
But imo imperial splendour 1.x versions from 2009-2011 were really good. While darthmod was pretty much vanilla with larger unit size and 100 different colors of line infantry IS changed alot of the economy scaling and unit progression. Lots of good tweaks to unit balance and faction balancing and regional recruitment. Gave more identity to each country without adding too much bloat.
Eg spanish infantry depending on if they were recruited in spain(morale/melee+ range-), italy(balanced but smaller unit size) or flanders(melee-, range+)dev diarys from 2009 give an example of what the scope was like:I think during the 2.0 and french revolution versions the mod team changed hands and a different more ambitious direction was taken. No offence to the current mod team but they new models look great but there was just too much scope creep and their grand vision could not really achieved in the end.
MechDonald on TWC has created a mod for E:TW which will enhance many of the visual and audio effects. Want to hear your soldiers marching to war to the sound of fife and drums? You've got it. A field covered with the smoke and dust of pitched battle? All-round action intensified by extra blood effects and realistic cannball effects? It's all in there. Here's what you'll get with the Battlefield Smoke Mod 2.5:better musketfirebetter musketsmoke effectslong-lasting, ascending battlefield smokebetter cannonfire effectsbetter ground hit effects for cannonball and explosiv ammunitionship cannon fire effects much improvedblood effects enabled for roundshot hitsSee more and get the download links.And don't worry, there are a few different versions which enable you to choose a 'light' version of the mod, or just the battlefield sound, or so on.
It is also apparently compatible with multiplayer, though using the smoke mod for MP is not recommended as it can cause lag.This message has been edited by Andalus (edited @ 01:35 PM).AuthorReplies. I am running the full latest version of this mod and I must say it is fantastic, absolutely essential to enjoying the battles to the max.All that is missing is the screams, battle cries and generally the atmospheric sounds of the fighting which was in all of the pre-release trailers. If playing with this mod is it still posisble to play others in MP who don't play with the mod?Yes, it should be. All the mod does is change the graphical settings of your game.
Because i found out the biggest factors to my lagg is trees and smokeso is there any difference? If your game is already laggy try the lightest version of the mod, but I reckon you'll make it laggier.
Try downloading the blood separately at least - it is well worth it even without the smoke. The day will come when this, and better, comes standard with TW games. It has been stated that the next TW game 'Napoleon' will have greater battlefield smoke effects and if you take a look at some of the pictures it appears to be true.

Blood however I can't imagine being in the game as it is in this mod.
