I havnt tried any mods yet, but i want to start a new Campaign with ofc the UP with one.
For me one big buypoint for for this game was UP+Naval warfare.
I can read many things on how naval battle AI/Realism was improved but i have yet to find on how the AI does on the campaign map using Darthmod.
Even in my N/N vanilla campaign i had a rough start but soon i was master of the sea and with a fleet of 6x2nd and 5x3rd i wipe out complete navies at a time only to see the AI does not learn and keeps making sloops brigs and galleys. The biggest enemy ship i encounterd was a 3rd rate.
I will keep my options open so ill ask on the IS forum as well, i want a real naval challenge on the campaignmap.
