StartPos Mods (ETW)

The Startpos Mods for Empire Total War are a collection of varying mods that change the faction starting positions and playable factions in the Grand Campaign as well as units and buildings. This Series includes STURM UND DRANG 2, Greek Mod 2.3 and Empire Total Factions, as well as 32 Factions of the Americas in Custom Battles and others.

STURM UND DRANG 2

This is a completely new version of STURM UND DRANG with the aims of the previous edition of the mod: to introduce new factions, adding in to the original game the flavour of modern nations' birth. This new mod version is stable, includes more factions, new units, improved AI and more. The AI this mod uses is a combination of Darth's CAI and Luntik's BAI. The Preview Threadhas more details. This mod will remain under constant development, HusserlTW has already started making more new factions. Every bit of help is most welcome especially in artistic work and in the creation of units and /or in bringing in existing unit mod packs.

Greek Mod 2.3

This is version 2.3 of the Greek mod with many changes that aim to make it more interesting and more joyful faction to play as. The most obvious changes are in textures. There are some fine textures made by Anastasios and some temporary made by me. All the textures should be reworked by Anastasios in the next releases. Some units historically had traditional uniforms and guns. It has been attempted to make it as close as possible to the truth bearing in mind serious limitations in changing models.

However the most important changes in the game play are the changes in units stats and units recruitment. Stats where reworked have had in mind the VH level where Greece normally has no chance. Even now it is very challenging and only a TW expert has a few chances to succeed.

The Mod adds new buildings and units to the Greek Faction, see the mod thread for more details.

Empire Total Factions

Empire Total Factions (ETF) is a combination of the several startpos mods that make playable all factions in the Early (normal), Late and Warpath campaigns. With ETF you can play as any faction with a couple of clicks, without replacing, copying or deleting any files, through the use of a dedicated launcher. Moreover the mod use it's own folder and do not overwrite any of the vanilla files.
