Torn Between 3 mods

[MuradBey]

Hello

Just like the title says I can't decide what mod to try, either SS, CAE or Lands to Conquer. I already read about them but I would like to get the opinion of people who actually tried one or more of them. I'm basically lookingfor a smarter AI, better diplomacy, and more accurate and balanced factions. I like to know which if these 3 mods will be better suited for a slow paced campaign and is more fun and challenging to play as a Muslim faction.

I've played all three at one time or another, I grew board with with CAE and LtC in the end. Although Lands to Conquer, I think anyway, has an amazing map.

My suggestion therefore would be SS 5.1, but try them all out if you can. I belive King Kong is adding a 4th Muslim faction in his next update.

Oh cool
Do you know what's the faction he is adding?

CAE- Maxed out on units and factions (Non Kingdoms) Unit factions not found anywhere else.
SS 5.1 (requires Kingdoms) Maxed out on factions and units but uses Kingdom's units.
LTC- I dont know I havent played it in awhile. I think this one offers the biggest map and most settlements (could be wrong) Slower pace.

So I should forget about SS since I have the original MTW and not Kingdom?

SS 4.1 works on the original and has a great supply system for armies (although I don't know if it applies to the Ai's armies as well) and extra traits, extra factions, lots more units and actually improves the performamce of your graphics.
