Submods Recommendations for SS? Ask Here!

[bɑne]

As a newcomer I suggest Savage and Permanent Watch Towers

[SoulBlade]

Lusted AI, perm watchtowers.
Also as far as I know you have to be at least 12 or so to play Total War games...?

[GreekGlory]

any mods with 2tpy and perm forts?

[beckyolt]

Any mods that make armies bigger please? After playing a lot of Darthmod ETW with 300-unit infantry battalions I just can't stand the small armies of SS.

Ahh it's not SS 6.3 compatible... and I heard 6.4 has many issues seems really interesting though, +rep for you sir

[Mr Kriegtooth]

I'd have to get SS6.4 I guess, for future mods, but one I have always thought would be awesome, and use to say CA should make as a campaign...

Italian Peninsula). The map would be Italy and the Medeterranian. The Factions would be the Italian City States(Venice, Milan, Genoa, Papal States(PLAYABLE FULLY, the Pope was always fighting with the other city states), Kingdom of Sicily, the Knights of Malta, and invasions by the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, maybe Spain too

I'd have it set up to have two eras. The early one would be more medieval, late one would be the Renassaince Era, particularly the 1560s.

The only problem I can think of with it is that the City States would be samey. Not sure what kinda special units Milan, Florence, Pisa, and the others could have.

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Another mod...Ireland and other factions that others may have liked in the past but have been replaced.

I'd have Ireland beefed up some, so its not just the Kingdoms faction thrown in. Pikes and spears, maybe some old school stuff for the early game, like see in IB2

but it wouldn't be that historically accurate

[Sergeant Matt]

I was just reading the excellent AAR I Am Skantarios, and in it he was using SS 6.1 with a submod for a 1450 campaign. Needless to say, this submod isn't compatible with 6.4, but I was wondering if another mod for a later start date has been made, or if there are any modders out there with plans to make one? Doing it myself isn't really an option, as I have no experience modding and there's a lot of work to be done. You'd have to change the factions cities, the buildings present in every city, and so on.

[Mr Kriegtooth]

but it wouldn't be that historically accurate

Meh, I dont care too much. Also, by the 1500s, the Irish had pikemen and gunners, during the rebellions against England. Earlier eras, they had two handed swordsmen, the galloglasses, so forth so on. Ireland might not have done much, but they werent a joke that deserves to be thrown aside

Also, in general, they make a good bulwark against England's domination of the Isles. In my 6.1 campaign as England, I had trouble with them when I tried to colonize Dublin. Makes for the whole three way war over an area.

And IMO, the Knights Templar, for 6.1 anyway, are far more inaccurate. Its cool, but the Templar didnt have a nation. I dont know all about them and how they ruled the lands they owned, but were their lands the same as a nation, or just they own some land in another Kingdom? Also, the Templar ruled all of Anatolia in my game, and were making a push against the Byzantines in Greece until I got sick of them, and the Holy Roman Empire came to save the Eastern Roman Empire :-P

This is all just my opinion though

Edit: As for the other factions others may have liked, same stuff as me, just because they liked it. I aint got a problem if anyone wants to rule the world with the Templar, or whatever :-P

Edit 2: For some reason I thought this was a sub-mod SUGGESTION thread. Ugh, why do I post on the internet when I have migraines?! Forgive me if I seem insane XD But if anyone wants to take up my ideas for a submod, s'all good

[The Glorious Moldovan]

Hi, just started playing 6.4 and really enjoying it. Had one game already on H/M with England, found it a bit easy so trying it on VH/VH. On about turn 50 (I play 2TPY) and its going well for me but not for the rest of Christendom. The Moors are knocking on my door in Northern France, they're at Angers already, they have wiped out Portugal, Leon and Aragon and they have huge stacks all over France and pushing into Northern Italy. The Fatimids have taken out the Crusaders all but pushed the Sicilians off Northern Africa. The Kwerazis (sic) have begin their inevitable match West and look set to conquer all of Eastern Europe again. Last time they pretty much had all the East right up to my border in Germany. At the current rate in about 25 turns all the Western European factions will gone or clinging on and I will be pressed just to defend Great Britain while The Kwerazis and The Fatimids roll up all the Eastern/Southern European factions.

I've seen the mod that slows expansion but it also adds too many regions too France and Germany in my opinion. Is there anything that just slows the AI's expansion while still making it tough for me too? I just don't want there to be 8 factions or something left by turn 100 of a 900 turn game. I love a challenge and like the idea of a really long slog of a campaign but at the minute it just seems too easy for some AI controlled factions. Cheers!
