    The mod is amazing and i had lots of fun playing it, but the game doesn't get harder, using Venice VH/VH after 25 years (50 turns) i was able to beat all the known world, i took control of 20 provinces and i had 4 vassals that gave me the control of 30 provinces more, so after 25 years i was close to win the game because no faction was really stronger than me....

    Just try Kingdoms grandcampaign mod, it makes things really harder to play!!!

    EDIT: obviously i'm talking about M2TW version of darth_mod, RTW version i have installed too but never played enough!!

    The RTW version of Darth Mod is better and harder than MTW 2 version.

    That my opinion.

    The concept of this mod is to make a better battle and strategic a.i. What's wrong with that?

    I tried out at least 10, perhaps even more mods for RTW but this is only I am regularly returning to play it again. Only thing I miss is an option for "barbarians" to evolve large and huge cities (than roster of units accustomed for those cities).

    I play this from time to time when I'm not on RS. The enemy here, on the campaign, actually are threatening. Well, they are so on RS but since I have it on 0 Turn recruits I can ready a defense in no time.

    Here I have to fight with my small garrisons when I'm mass invadeing. Such as in my SE campaign(E/VH) I'm struggling even though the campaign is on easy. Battles are no problem(even if I'm outnumbered alot) but where I start is deadly. That and when everyone betray's you money is hard to come by.

    Like recently I conquered Cataphract filled Partia and a turn after Egpyt(forgot the name already!), Greek City States, Armernia, and Pontus all betray'd me on the same turn and mass invaded my cities. I've never had that happen before on any mod but Darthmod(I got a huge amount of Heroic Victories in defenses because I wouldn't just give up despite being heavily outnumbered).

    This mod is the closest to reality of ancient Rome than any other game in the world. So for fans of that period of time, is simply the best choice to revive this legendary season and the wars of it.

    I love it so much that I really can't predict when I stop playing in the future.

    I wonder myself right now....because I feel challenge, not because I created it. The game AI is optimized at its best and it is easy to witness in a few custom battles.
    Then there is the 5 campaigns, the tons of new historic missions, the double modification for Barbarian Invasion as well. The all new graphics.
    RTW-BI as it should have shipped IMO.

    And..there is the Darth Advisor what else would you want more!

    i've conquered Greece, Spain, and North africa in RS and halted the expansion for now in that game. So i've turned back to the Darth Mod today and very much enjoying it and your allies are very sneaky and betray you when your back is turned.
    I picked the unified Rome campaign where the Senate is not on map, but sends you on missions which is cool and more realistic.
