I stopped playing unmodified games a long time ago.  Currently playing:

EB

Rusichi, a fucking beautiful Medieval Russian mod for MTW2K:


Link.

And a Russian Civil War Mod for Mount & Blade.  Awesome.

Might have to give the mount and blade one a try. Never have with any modern era ones yet.

Huh.  I know the Russians are backward but did they really fight the civil war with swords and shields?  Explains the symbol of the KGB though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Huh.  You followed the link, and got something with swords and shields?  I got something with swords and Nagants and Lugers.

A bit naff that they kept the same map intact.
Can't be arsed to get into M&B from scratch again right now. Maybe I will when its more finished.

I've recently discovered some interesting mods that make Frontier First Encounters playable (literally):

Still seems crappy to me, can't be arsed to figure out the controls. But...tempting.

The black squiggles are called "writing."  Decipher that and you will discover that it constitutes an introduction to the mod.

And, lacking pictures and the deciphered writing, how did you deduce that the RCW mod had shields?

I haven't used a TW mod since Rome:TW.

I use a whole host of mods for Oblivion and Morrowind.

Apart from that, I use MMP for EUIII and some graphics mods for FM 2009 and HoI2. To use more mods, I would have to be more of a gamer, I think.

I've stopped bothering with mods. Especially the TW mods, as most of them seem to put a kajillion cities on the map, and seem to be made by pathetic history nerds.

Rusichi's models are near perfect, probably as good as anything in Vanilla ETW.  Really impressive mod.

Although I am not adverse to using mods, I do think Beeb and others made salient points in another thread about how they unbalance games. All too often mods are written by politically motivated nationalists/morons.

wait, they have those in the gaming community?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Depends on the mod, and I think it is fair that in some mods the Ottomans are stronger than, say, the Mamelukes or the Hungarians.

Exactly, but leave it to an Eastern European and you have Vlad Dracul and the Hungarian Hyundai conquering India.

Latest mod for Mount & Blade I am trying out; "The Wedding Dance"...

http://forums.taleworlds.net/index.php/topic,58995.0.html

Cautioned as a "21 or older" mod, with extensive customization (as you can guess, nudity).

I don't think it is purely intended as M&B porn, but it probably could be.  It started out well, with a neat little story effect involving your slain parents, and joining your brother and sister setting off to avenge their deaths.

It has a customized map, and as I started wandering about, thought I'd try my first combat against some roving barbarians.

A couple of them, the leaders apparently, were in "Mad Max"-style bondage wear (fitting, being this combat took place in the desert) and wearing cow skulls on their heads.  Alas, their lesser minions were completely starkers...penis and all.  And apparently, probably due to graphics limitation, always erect...even when lying flat and dead.

Should be interesting...but hopefully there will be less dicks in my next combat.  :D
