What you think of SS 6.0

[AntonM]

Hello everyone, i been reading this forum for about a year now and finally decided to join.

Ive been playing SS 5.1 and love it, so i just wanted to know what people tought about SS 6.0? Ive downloaded it but not sure if its worth me installing yet as i see there's already quite a few bugs! Should i just carry on playing with 5.1 or switch to 6.0?

Thanks in advance.

I would go with 6.0! The new map is amazing!!

[Aldgarkalaughskel]

Switch! Now!

A huge improvement, even if there are a few kinks to work out. The map alone makes it twice as good as 5.1.

Very few bugs for a release of this size. KK and the betatesters have done a hell of a job releasing something this clean. Better than most gaming companies IMO.

Do it man.. do it.. come on.. do it man. just do it.. install that mother...
do it..... install.. do it...install man...... Just DO IT!!!

How about actual fan reviews rather than instructions to "just do it"? :-)

[delra]

Well. Just do it.

It's epic, and I still didn't get round to playing it. I just can't decide where to start.

Remember sometimes a bug, is not a bug. When you change a way a game is played there will always be a few things that are new and strange. An a few that get broken.
Overall great friggn, mod. 6.0 replaced all the other mods I have been toying with.

nice review

If he has played 5.1 then he knows what SS has to offer. 6.0 is just bigger and better. No major bugs. So just install it. Just do it!
I'm sure he could really careless how your HRE campaign is doing at turn 20.

Welcome to TWC I can tell for myself that you are safe to download and install 6.0... Like yourself I've been playing SS 5.1 for the past weeks and I also enjoyed it a lot... I am now playing SS 6.0 and I can tell you that the bugs reported so far are cosmetic They won't stop you playing this great piece of work. The new map is eye candy and is itself worth the download...

My only concern now is how the campaign plays at long term since the distances are bigger and I'm not sure yet how that affects AI building up... so far so good and I'm pleased for what I see

I've been playing 5.1 for quite awhile now, and was excited about the release of 6.0. However, like you, I was hesitant to download a new version. I'm not very far into the campaign yet, but I haven't noticed any bugs that limit the playability. The new map is very impressive along with the new skins/units. Overall, its a great update to a great mod. Download it.

definetely don't do it,6.0 is a total mess,even compared to 5.1 which was quite bad...

[stefano89]

One word: IT ROCKS (Yeah I know it's 2 words...)

I've put about an hour into playing 6.0 as Ireland. 50 turns in and I manage to have the cash to finance a small raiding party to Scotland, who killed my family member general and decimated my small army.
This is on very hard/very hard, and I must say, it is indeed very hard. GG King Kong!

So are finances really that much more of a problem than 5.1? I play that on H/VH and I have problems putting together an army for the first 50 turns -- and I do all economic upgrades first and get merchants out quickly.

Its free an i know u really want..........

[Pelu]

how do you compare SS with the vanilla of m2 and the separated campaigns in kingdoms???

[nodey]

Lots of eye candy but gameplay definately needs a polish or two.

[Iustinianos]

What i've seen so far is fantastic, much better then 5.1 and much much much better then MTW2 vanilla. Personal advice: install it now

So are finances really that much more of a problem than 5.1?

I play the HRE and at turn 20, I am the second richest faction in the game and am pulling in 8k to 9k profits per turn before I make buildings and armies. I have put together expensive armies consisting of Zweihanders/Teutonic Knights. In fact, I'm wealthy to the point where I can most likely pay for wars on multiple fronts.

If you're having trouble with finances, I recommend really abusing diplomacy. Especially if you start out as a large and powerful nation, you can rack up a lot of gold by demanding money in return for services.
