I hate to do it, but I'll quote myself from less than a page back in this thread:

If you look again you'll notice that several factions aren't available in custom battles. This is because the number of factions able to be available to custom battles is less than the number of factions allowed in the game. So some factions had to be cut from the list. But if you really want to play a certain faction in custom battles, open the descr_sm_factions.txt file in the Stainless_Steel_6\data\ folder and change the faction's custom battle availability to "yes" and another faction to "no". :original:
Re: Stainless Steel 6.1 Released
is there something wrong with my computer??? this is such a slow DL
Re: Stainless Steel 6.1 Released
Great, mod from what ive played so far. The thing that bothers me is that it takes so long for the other nations to take there turn, much longer than it took in vanilla m2tw. Also the campaign map seems to get a bit laggy in eastern europe where there are large amounts of forest. Other than that it is great, oh and the 6.1 patch didnt seem to fix the border hourse head problem.

Do a search in the SS forums. There are many threads that give suggestions on how to improve performance.

If every download is slow - contact your ISP. If just this download is slow, that just unlucky, it just means the servers are busy. When you have a piece of software downloading slowly, its more usual to do a search for slow downloading than coming to the software forum. After all, WHAT you're downloading has nothing to do with HOW FAST your downloading!
As to slowness. As was said above, you need to search the SS forums where there are hints to tweak the game. One thing you have to take on board though is that as the game progresses and larger armies are built, more wars take place and more diplomats are created to negotiate with faction so the game gets slower. This is the same with the vanilla game as well.
Re: Stainless Steel 6.1 Released
Hey guys, I downloaded Part 1 just fine, but I am having a heck of a time downloading Part 2. It keeps saying there is some sort of error or it just stops at some point.
Thanks for the help guys! This mod looks so awesome and I can't wait to try it out. :)

The status report of SS is here.
That should answer your question. I wouldn't wait to download it though. If a 6.2 patch was released, it would just be a patch so it wouldn't be hard to install.
Likewise, if a version 7 was released, this would take some time and would certainly not be within a month.

Re: Stainless Steel 6.1 Released
Quinctius Cincinnatus, what this mod does is make you think.... The enemy is at the door with this mod like no other. Politically the wheels turn in a much more intelligent way, making the 3-5 minutes you can wait watching the faction movements on the map so entertaining you wouldn't think of turning the feature off! From sea invasions to intelligent use of diplomats and princesses, from the choice and size of armies brought to bear, and the overlapping defences laid out so that if you attack a city the enemy will almost always have 3 armies next to your besieging army next turn! Quite simply, I think it is the excellent strategic AI that is the key to SS. Yes it has some nice additional graphics and music, and yes, you can add Real Recruitment and BYG's Faction Zeal/Supply's mod, but at it's core, it's the greatest mod because it makes much more use of the strategic play area, forces you to think like a faction leader and by extension brings greater tactical battles to bear as well!
In vanilla MTW 2, all you really looked at were how the numbers stacked up. Now, you really need to know the make-up of the army before you fight! In addition, if you have BYG's and RR's mods installed you will be facing their peasants with your own - not like in the vanilla game where the enemy still had peasants while you had much higher level units! Also, on the economy and taxation front SS makes MTW 2 sublime! You really need to get your house in order financially before spending money on foreign campaigns. these campaigns now cost and if you haven't a good economy back home, your expansion will not last long!
So I would say it's the way SS changes the Strategic gameplay that is the key to why it's the greatest mod!
