A Review of The Rights of Man (Mod for Empire Total War)

In this video, I review the excellent overhaul mod for Empire Total War, The Rights of Man (TROM). This mod, completed several years ago, seems to have been forgotten in recent years, but in this video I try to show how it is still worth your time. The Rights of Man is not the most comprehensive or massive of overhaul mods, but it definitely enhances the game quite a bit while preserving the original vision of the game.

What is your favorite mod (or combination of mods) for Empire?

[Ian-yvbp]

The ambition of Empire still makes it my favorite. Just returned to it for the first time since 2016. Wish later total wars expanded upon and refined Empire’s mechanics

[FaramirsRangers]

I have not got a chance to try this one yet. Great review as always sir.

[Dexusaz]

I love that you show us mods for Empire. Weirdly enough, Empire is my second favourite Total War, even though it's a buggy mess. The scope of it and ambitions (new mechanics, conquering the whole world, colonialism etc.) are probably the reasons why.

Personally, I prefer the more radical mods for Empire but I might try this one out.

[laahocsm]

Your showing me so many mods to try out I can't decide where to start!

[MrJabbothehut]

Thanks for reviewing this mod. I love the vanilla gameplay of empire and the game is slow already so mods that slow it down to a crawl really turned me off the game (inuding imperial destroyer which changed the game way too much despite all the good stuff it tried to do). This mod is exactly what I was looking for. Thank god for modders and great reviewers like yourself!

The Rights of Man is an amazing name taking in count the time period.

[Kalinin]

I wanted to check out this mod, as I have previously done with Imperial Splendour: Rise of Republic, Darthmod and Imperial Destroyer, but I cant get this mod running. All I get is application load fail. I was browsing the Total war center for help, reading all possible technical thread, but no luck so far. Is there something special about the installation, as I was follwing it step by step, with still no luck running it? Thank you.

This mod is amazing, i tried with Absolutum Dominium (mod that add some units and change aspect) made this mod even better

[luisfernandodemello]

It would be interesting some improvements in this game, for example the possibility of establishing colonies in the commercial nodes on the Coast of Brazil and Coast of Irory, including the possibility of the player giving names to the colony and their respective cities and ports. In addition, they could put Switzerland in the game, after all it has Swiss units and the vacant territory.

[Rokiriko]

The problem with 18ct warfare is that just too many units are the same with different uniforms and different number values. So if you are not one of those people that gets a hard on cause some obscure regiment is present, that's a problem and makes etw and its mods boring.

Etw is the only tw game in which I comfortably alt-tab mid battle, cause so little is going on.

[ScepticGinger]

The mod is gone as it seems, i cannot find a working link anywhere.

[TheBranchez]

We really, really need the Empire 2. Desperately. If we are lucky maybe they go for it after WH3.

I am having trouble getting this mod to run and the forms are long dead so I thought I would ask here. I downloaded and installed the mod, however, when I click on the desktop shortcut it starts to load the game then when the opening cut scene is meant to play the game goes straight to desk top, no error message is given. Just to note if I click the play game button within the steam library it will play vanilla version of empire rather than the mod. Anyone has any ideas?

[FilipMoncrief]

Great review! I was wondering if you could do Fall of the Eagles for Attila, could be pretty cool

[Shambles_]

Really wanna give this one a go but I followed the instructions to a T but it crashes on startup, would help if it was a little clearer, anybody else had this issue?

[the_stubbs]

i have thus so far been unable to get this mod to work. everytime i try to launch it from the shortcut i get to the splash screen before it CTDs. i have reinstalled multiple times to no avail. any idea as to how i might get it to work?

[markhirsch]

Whenever I try to play this mod (even with the mod manager) I get an application load error

[KC-btwd]

Do you have a download link? All the links to 1.7 are dead

[ZombolicBand]

People talk alot about empire battles being slow, but honestly a musket in that era shouldnt be able to hit anything from beyond 70meters... instead we got sniper muskets firing from 120 meters. Fml.
