Ok so i got my reg key today, and ive had a lovely afternoon fragging all the robots i can on the unlimited skirmish mode ^_^

but after a while i decided that it would be good fun to start messing around with some mods.

After signing up to teh forums and spending an hour making my avatar (im really pleased with it but the forum only limits it to 140px height )
ive had a look around at all the user made mods and they all look great , i have no idea where to start??

i was wondering if you guys could suggest any sweet mods to start messing around with?

i quite like the idea of still keeping the game balanced though, i mean, i keep seeing ace weapons but they look way to overpowered, i still want to keep the game challenging

if you guys had any ideas, they would be much appreciated


cheers, duel.

Crobos. Definetly. They're awesome AND balanced
But if you don't like unbalancing the game, stay far away from my pack
Also, KMF (Kloveska Military Force) is worth checking out, because it also
has a modified Activities.ini (Spawn list, basically) that makes the KMF units
come down after you...

Oh yeah, and welcome to the forums ^_^

Thanks very much

found the link for the KMF http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=10928&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=Kloveska+Military+Force

but i cant find one for Crobos, im using the search function and everything

i like the idea of having to fight off the KMF though, and that mod is huge with plenty of units, hours of fun

You're welcome ^_^
Also, Crobos:

I'm going to be such a ♥♥♥♥♥ that I'll recommend my own mod. It's got over 500 downloads .
Extra BunkerModules

My Uber Cannon.

If you like/love glows, get mine. Links in my sig.

If you need scenes, click on the things that have my name next to them. Also some mods, too.

Well, I'd say get all the main faction mods (KMF, Darklone, Crobo, AAL, and DSTech) as well as Shook's Hueg pack, a few scenes (apocolypse towers, endurantism, Crayon Lands, whatever you want), and basically whatever. Just download things to see if they're good.

I recommend trying it all.
Everything.
If you like it, keep it.
If not, simply delete it.

That's what I do.

For the sake of loading time though, I'd recommend only one or two full-sized faction mods and a couple smaller mods at a time. Keep everything you like, but just take the ".rte" off the folder name when you don't want one to load, and put it back on when you do want it to.

If you don't mind using/fighting units that are drasticially more powerful than the standards, I recomend the Darklones:

Should also check out the Medipacks:

and the GML:

Beyond that it's just opinion, take a look around the mod forum, remember to check the second and third pages too. In one way or another it updates atleast once a day.

Don't forget tee-fop's NVC. They're truly nice.
Also, you have to at least get the AAL pack.

I found Legio Machina really fun and balanced, it quickly became one my favorite mods so I think you should give it a go.

Personally, I dislike Faction based mods because I find the slew of weapons that they come filled with clutter CC's drop menu.

I'm fond of a mod that came burried in a slew of other poorer mods. It was called the "KGB bot" and it is a great, almost Zaku looking thing. It is really just a well designed looking robot. It comes with 250 health which I dropped to 100 though because of the price "glitch" that occurs with units with more than 100 health. It only takes a second to change.

Likewise there is a great "lightsabre" mod floating around.

Some guy a while back made a Medium Coalition Soldier and a special Coalition Shotgun. Other people have made the green mechs seen in the trailer. It was called the Coalition Liberator. There was a standard version and one with a Jetpack called the Conqueror.

There was a cool gun called the flechette.rte and it fires particles that stick in the air and explode after a few seconds.

Kurrus's FN weapons are good too. Dan's DMac + Dummy Riot Shield fit the art design of CC.

ok, so ive already tried crobos, Darklone, which are superb! im locing the extensive weapon set that the darklone's get and the energy weapons with Crobos

I really like the extra bunker modules there great for building more interesting bases

But im sorry, I tried the uber cannon and there's no way that that can be considered balanced , that thing cuts through everything...
Fun for a while though...


thanks for everyone else's recommendation's, im making my way through them trying them all
