Vanilla

Post by Spartan »

Hiya Guys,

Being new to this game I am currently playing with the vanilla version. I was wondering what are the best mods to install, bearing in mind that sometime in the future I will be getting into multiplayer, and Im not sure if all mods are compatible with MP.

Cheers

Are you interested in graphics/effects mods or only MP gameplay?

Hiya con20or

I`m interested in both. While I`m learning the game I will be playing solely SP, so anything that enhances my experience will be most welcome. Then later I will move on to MP.

Cheers

There's also the GCM Singleplayer Campaign which a lot of people apparently still play.
Play Scourge of War Multiplayer! www.sowmp.com
Also try the singleplayer carryover campaign

Hiya Garnier

Thanks for the link. I've watched the vid, read the thread, and this looks very interesting. Will have a go with that as well.

Cheers
