Hi,
I recommend all settings on very high / ultra. The engine has extremly improved by CA since Empire. Also with BSM the Game should run better than Empire or napoleon. Of course you will notice a slight performance impact. I'm using a fast pc and have no performance drops also in battles with thousands of units and smoke overall. This is just amazing in comparison to empire.
Not yet. Darth mod uses already modded files wich my mod needs to generate the correct particle effects. But i'll contact Darth next week to build a compatible version.
As i described in the readme.txt and frontpage, all mods wich uses the listed files doesn't work with my mod.
I agree with you. The blood screen splatter effect is nothing just annoying. In vanilla. I altered the effect to be more subtle. It is noticable but not annoying anymore. Just try it out. Even Satyrus is pleased with it.
