How is this mod?

**Moretz** · October 08, 2007, 12:16 PM

Hello

How does this mod compare to SS and Darth? Is it worth downloading? Im mostly interested in diplomacy and AI rather then new factions and units. Any improvements there?

Thanks

Well,if you are looking for diplomacy and AI tweaks rather than new stuff and enhancement,than CAE is not your cup of tea,at least for now...

Hmm
Well ill still give it a shot. Maybe custom battles will be fun

Seems like alot of effort was put into this one

played a couple custom battles and i must say the units look very nice! good job!

I like the campaign a lot.

it will be better when 2.4 is done. I mean, Sweden, Georgia, Abbasids(full roster) and a secret faction. The campaign map will be filled with colours ( I hope rebel provinces disappear faster) and World wars break out. I will conquer the north with my Swedish soldiers. Then I'll aligne with HRE and they can attack Poland......

Happy to hear that you liked the new units..

Thank you.To be honest I've truly put enormous effort into the mod,like most other modders do.

Also I suggest playing the campaign in CAE,you'll find that it's sometimes quite interesting events take place..

There is no doubt the total war in the mod will spice up when Sweden and Georgia enters the fray...

Haha so at last you've turned out to be a rebel-hater such as myself ..

When I'll play Sweden I'll pour my armies all over the Danes.

You'll find that the inclusion of new factions often improves the diplomacy and AI... For some reason I have found that when the political situation is more complex, the AI handles it more realistically.

**Eranshahr** · October 09, 2007, 10:01 AM

Well not exactly a rebel hater. I do like when factions have around 4-5 provinces. But what I like more is to see all factions expand and colour the whole map. And then they'll start attacking each other. That ís the fun. And with Georgia, well I do have map plans for my own game, so they will conquer and compete with the Khwarezmians and Mongols and Sweden, well situation is hard but I am sure they'll do something too

I know.I just love exaggeration sometimes

.I also love a colorful map with plenty of factions,the trick here is to make sure that their colours don't mix with eachother.

I think Georgia will just do fine in the East well as Sweden will hold its ground on the West.

**Eranshahr** · October 09, 2007, 02:56 PM

and about that. I have a list of colours, and it is for the computer. I am pretty sure CA used it when they made the colours. Abd this way you can in some way avoid mixing the colours up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colours

And about what you said. I think Georgia will have more problems to defend itself against it's enemies. Considering three of the strongest factions are around.

But Sweden will provide a bit easier game. located in teh north. No real threats. When Sweden is added I think Denmark will have a very hard time surviving.

Err for some reason i cant select georgia or sweden in custom battle or campaign but i do have all hte other new factions. how did that happen? oh yeah and i CTD @ faction selection screen in grand campaign.

As Eranshahr said they aren't in the mod just yet.

As for the CTD I noticed that too,This sometimes happens when you click on the logos of different factions many times or when you instantly go to the custom campaign menu from the grand campaign faction selection menu.

Currently the only solution is to start the mod again.

That CTD is a known bug with M2TW, so it isn't a problem with your mod. I don't think there is a way to fix it at the moment.

I am not sure if it's a problem with vanilla, but I know for sure it's a known bug in Stainless Steel 5.1, it happend to me many times going from custom to campaign trying to figure out which faction to play. ps: if ya keep getting a CTD, then do what I did and reinstall mtwII and CAE. Ya I know it's a pain but it's a really good mod. Best of Luck, Victus

I'm not sure why it keeps posting it that way.

There were paragraphs when I entered it lol =)

I browsed several threads and I can confirm that,this bug is not only CAE's or SS's problem.KK indicated that despite of all his efforts he couldn't fix it.I'll say the same.I've tried nearly everything yet no success..

But I'll ask this to some other people.

**Eranshahr** · October 09, 2007, 03:02 PM

Well that is because neither Sweden nor Georgia have been released yet. They are coming with version 1.4

CTD? I don't know that.

**Ataegina** · December 03, 2007, 09:31 PM

For what i know CAE, its nice for people who like simplicity and having fun, of course theres few unique factions wich is cool, and also few tweaks

also have advantage wich is this mod runs very smoothly, wich you allmost dont notice any lag !

**Zephrelial** · December 04, 2007, 09:32 PM

Don't listen to Ataegina's words..This mod sucks.. Pure and simple.. The unit textures are like caricatures,There aren't any new factions save for the Pigmes and Aliens or any new features except a special button to initiate a CTD and throw you out of the game instantly..

Besides it's modder sucks even worse,he's a complete idiot
