Hey what Mod would you say is the best?
 
Rather strange question here :) Most of the participants of this subforum are modders, and, honestly, I think, modders like their own mods the best :)

I'd say the most awesome at the moment are C. O. R. E., KaiserReich, SKIF icons pack, Modern Day 2, and Falout-Mod (well, because I'm a modder too :) But I'm interested in gameplay issues, not in historical accuracy or great difficulty.
 
I would say New Nations Mod (http://www.modnn.com)
It always impressed me the HUGE database of new Ministers/Leaders/Teams that they offer not only for the 70 new nations that they have included, but for Vanilla Nations also :eek:
The only bad thing is that you need Armageddon to play it.
I vote for them :)

Outside Confederate Armageddon, there is only void.
:D
Weird... I would say the same regarding CORE... :p

But seriously, although I'm part of the CORE dev team, that's more due to the fact that I got so utterly hooked by CORE that I decided to become part of the team rather than the other way round. I did try other mods as well, but none had the same feel for me.
But as 'best mods' are rather dependent on taste some guidelines as to what you'd fancy would help in giving unbiased suggestions. Apart from CORE and Fallout, which form a very tight community along with Magna Mundi for EU3 and VIP for Vicky, I know Compendium, TRP, Mod33 and Mod34 are pretty popular. Apart from that some 'smaller' mods aparently are pretty good as well. I haven't tried Confederate Armageddon, actually (I will someday though). GIP and SKIF are pretty good if you're looking for a graphics mod. And I'm sure I left out others that should be mentioned as well. :)

Kidding aside, CORE is top notch, and I greatly respect the work done there.

And thanks for your interest in my humble little mod!
 
Wow! Great feedback guys and thanks! I heard Mod 33 has some bug issues........has that been fixed? Also, are all of these mods on Pdox or do I have to go somewhere else to get them? I see quite a few links in people's signatures here.

See what I'm looking for is a good Mod that will have some kewl new graphics and units, tech tree etc. More importantly, I'm looking for a MOD that I can play in SP mode and get a decent game out of the AI with.

I've played SU so many times now in SP and the German AI never attacked me!! Arg!

Mod33 haven't got issues anymore...I hope so :confused: .
The only issues right now are resulting from Armageddon vanilla bugs :eek:

Ok that's good to know because I have and usually play Armageddon. So the only bugs in Mod33 are from the original Armageddon, not the Mod?

Thanks! And being a modder myself I know the effort required to actually release and support a mod, so I have nothing but respect for all of them.
And as to Confederate Armageddon, well you are pretty persistent in your 'advertisement efforts', so you can't really miss it now, can you? ;)

Mod33 seems to work OK, if you don't mind dissent hits and the anglo-french. :D And I do think most mods are pretty stable, and relatively bug free. I know we do try to aim for one every release. The ones I actually tried are, in any case.
And I do think most if not all mods are available on the Paradox forums. We even have our own subforum, being one of the major ones. But we do have our own site as well, and most of the detailed discussion is going on there. We do frequent these forums obviously, but I do recommend visiting the dedicated forums as well.

My very own picks would be:

New graphics: GIP & SKIF;
Units, tech tree and graphics: CORE :rolleyes:
Better AI: TRP, and CORE once the new release will be available (where we'll be using a TRP-like AI). Some others do use the TRP AI engine as well - with permission obviously - like Confederate Armageddon IIRC. :)

The Great War mod is very well made. Tons of historical events.

Mea culpa. :) But since 3 solid years of modding doesn't even earn me a thread sticky, I gotta do *something.*

Hey, if I abandon my mod like Grand Battle and Stony Road, will I get a subforum too?:)

You could take over some abandoned subforum like Yukala did. ;)

And Mod34, Compendium mod or TRP are what I can recommend in addition to the ones already mentioned.
