Seleucids, for having the most diverse army, and the most interesting position.

cant remember exactly cause i havent played in a couple of months but cities that look like they are losing money are not actually. Especially if they contain a high troop count.

Make sure you have good management in the city, it make a difference(beware of negative vices aswell). Upgrades probably help also.

    it's usually the cities i start with that are losing money...the ones i conquer are the ones making the money, expecially after i exterminate the population.. BTW what's usually the best thing to do after taking over a city? exterminate the population, enslave them, or just occupy>?

i think it depends on how big you want the city to get. If you want a city to get a certain size and take advantage of upgrades, then you need the population to get their. I agree, extermination seems a good option. The people are not as restless and squalor isnt as bad.
I rarely used slavery.

Only me who likes to play as germania? they have a good starting position with easy regions to the east. but you will have to face the gauls and the julii sooner or later. the german unit types fit perfectly with my battle tactics: long line of spear warband to hold the enemy in place, while the gothic/barbarian/noble cavalry runs and attack them from behind

which mod?

 

bah, I still have those wet dreams of modding MTW, especially now that I buy all those Osprey books about medieval warfare... (and Rome still sucks crap)

 

BTW, how about modding Shogun? it is already near-perfect and wouldn't need much changes, so is it as easy to mod as Medieval?

which mod? MedMod, it is my favortie MTW mod. It was fun going back to MTW for a campaign. I really like this time, and napolean era also.

I think the next one im going to play is the XL mod if i can find the time.

It is suppose to be the best MTW mod right now.





Features:

- New versions of Early, High and Late.
- New map with 9 new provinces.
- 17 new factions. Included are: Armenians, Bohemians, Bulgarians, Crusader States, Cumans, Genoese, Hospitaller Order, Irish, Lithuanians, Norwegians, Portuguese, Scots, Serbians, Swedes, Teutonic Knights, Venetians, and Volga Bulgars.
- The unplayable factions can now be played (Burgundians, Golden Horde, Novgorod and the Papalcy)
- Lots of new units.
- Lots of new heroes.
- Landbriges removed.
- New Hospital, Bank and Royal bank building added.
- 3 pagan religious buildings added.
- Pagan shaman, emissaries, spies and assassins.
- New unit stats (Units have more correct stats and higher morale. Battles are now much harder and fun!).
- Improved AI (Build better units, better empire building)
- New trade structure (The AI can't handle the trade network in the original game, giving the player a big advantage. Trade income has therefore been reduced and farm income increased by 30%).
- GA mode playable with all factions.
- New GA and Prebattle shields for all factions.
- New music (large version only).
- Old game still playable, but only with the 9 new provinces.
- Auto-install (very easy install).

MTW - Viking Invasion is needed to play this mod

small 28mb

full 140mb
http://www.3ddownloads.com/strategy-gaming/totalwar/MTW/Stat s/VH_MTW_XL2_Full.exe

Tem, you could probably play this if you flip the language files in the Loc folder.

Shoggy is a smaller game, im sure there are mods around for it.

Yeah, original RTW is boring. Next time i play this, i will have to have a mod. I am out of the loop but they might be working on a Shogun mod for RTW,but not sure.

Im looking foward to the MTW mod for Rome. It is called Chivalry Total War, a long way to go before finishing but they are probably going to release a demo soon.

Similar factions to original but with Novograd, Crusader States, Teutonic Order,ect. Only thing is they call the Byzantines 'Romans'. Hope they change it to East Romans maybe.

I could prolly just read the posts but I'm too lazy.  How do you play as other factions other than the romans?  Do you have to beat the campaign or something?

I had won with the Brutii in short champaign mode. I had conquered the Greeks. I don't mean to insult any one if they are insulted by me conquering the Greeks. It's just a game. A fun one in fact.
