Must have mods please?

[=XIII=Shea]

Hi all i am new ti MOW and i was just wondering what are the must have mods for singleplayer?thanks all:grin:

[KnightFandragon]

There arent really any singleplayer mods. The mods are made for Multiplayer but when you play the game Singleplayer and have a mod active you will get the effects from the mod in your game. Like if the mod made units more accurate, you'll see your units are more accurate and the sounds from the mod will show in SP but the mods arent made specifically for SP. However, some good MP mods are Brothers of War, idk what version its up to and GSM Fields of Honor 2. There are more but idk what they are haha. Most MP mods arent that great for SP anyway, they only make the game harder llolz

[=XIII=Shea]

Oh ok thanks for your reply,i think the game is hard enough as it is:grin::grin:

[KnightFandragon]

Oh yeah, its plenty hard enough. Once you get used to the controls it gets easier. One thing is for sure, never think your tank is a 5 man wrecking machine....unlike all other RTS game where tanks rule all, MoW Infantry will soon show you that your tank is only a really big target for their AT Grenades and Flamethrowers...watch out for them, they kill everything haha. I suck w/ Infantry/Armor combined tactics but its definitly something to get good at in this game. Armor on its own is fubar in this game for sure. Awesomely fun game though. Direct Control is your friend =P

I learned that my first attempt at the first mission. Then I got a feel for the AI, controls and switched to HE and blasted the entire village (till I ran out of ammo) and that was it.

You're asking about which mods are good for singleplayer. Well, while most mods are meant for online multiplay, you can make your own SP missions (or just have a huge battle) using the GEM Editor, and you can use the models and maps from any of the mods in there. You can either play the mission/battle in the editor itself, or save it and play it in Men Of War (good thing about playing in the editor is that you can edit the battle while you're playing it, and add stuff you forgot about - like repair kits for your tanks).

There is also the Tactical Training Simulator, which is like the Dynamic Campaign Generator, only you get access to a much larger force to use in the battle.

There are plenty of single player missions made by players, too, most of which are excellent and can keep you busy for hours.

i found a great one here is a video by the guy i think made it. hes an awesome modder you should check out his other stuff
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaznbHxNCU8
the link to the mod is in the description. and a last note he has an account on here i beleive named SpeedWolf stop by his profile and say thanx to him if you like his mod

[KnightFandragon]

Hecks yeah, SpeedWolf is awesome, tons of cool MoW vids =D IDK if he made that mod but its not really a mod, more the old Faces of War missions changed around so that they work with Men of War. And if those missions are true to the way FoW actually worked then shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt......Faces of War musta been a yearlong adventure trying to beat it. You get 3 guys or so per mission. I DLd that and put in King Tigers, edited infantry and still had hell with alot of those missions.

There are 43 single player mods for Men of War to date :grin:
Most of these are single player mission mods which add new missions and maps for you to play.

Here is the link to the singleplayer mods list at Digitalmindsoft forums - MOW singleplayer mod collections (http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7116)

Another must have mod I like is the MoW - Ultimate Sound Mod.
This mod greatly improves the sounds of Men of War and........ also Red Tide.

Here is the link for this sound mod;

[MoW] Ultimate Sound Pack addon (http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3744)

(If you want to use this sound mod with "Red Tide" there are special instructions because "Red Tide" cannot use a mod folder.
The instructions for "Red Tide" are here 1C - Red Tide - forums - sound mod (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=15890))

Are there any weapon mods to make them more realistic?

I take it the damage model cannot be fixed given that "hull destroyed = no vehicle", and a single .50 cal bullet completely destroys a halftrack. Lulzy. In the (ancient) Close Combat, the vehicle data had a single parameter that simulated how easy the were destroyed after the armor was penetrated (0=a can of fuel, 100 = a block of steel, or something like that. It's been a long time since I've touched that.)
