Even if official development of BattleTech has now finished, it will always remain one of our favourite turn-based strategy games. It may be a bit rough around the edges, but it also has everything you could want: gritty, frontier-style survival, giant robots, accounting... it's the stuff dreams are made of.
The BattleTech universe has been going for decades and so features a rich and diverse history that can be used to fuel any BattleTech mod scene. In fact many of the most popular mods - including the ones listed below - involve setting changes rather than adding new mechanics. There's also plenty of utility and quality of life mods that can be used to enhance the experience and iron out some of the fiddly edges.
As of October 2020, there are three main 'enhancement' mods that greatly enhance the base game in similar but subtly different ways. This reddit thread offers a good breakdown as to the key differences. Speaking of giant robots, BattleTech is also one of our favourite mech games, but there are plenty more to check out.
