    Default Which is most fun - Stainless Steel vs Deus lo vult(post your experiances)

    hi guys

    i'd like to hear pro's and cons from everyone on these two mods from your own personal experience. Im used to playing DLV but SS has more units for factions in general with the east getting more attention.(sub mods for teutonic, Novogod etc) (i usually play byzantine and every now and then england)

    i keep jumping back and forth between them, im really stuck. im using SS + Battle for baltic+RR+TC+Byg III and DLV 5.7 beta 4

    Il admit i havent played Deus lo vult therefore my judgement cannot be to deeply refered back to however being a player of SS i can say that it is the best mod i have ever played by such a margin it's gobsmacking especially with the map being extended well past bagdad, the past edge of the east, making the map HUGE,

    Having played SS I can tell you that it is one of the best mods out there

    additionaly i'd really like to hear if any of you use sub-mods for SS! ive tried so many combo of mods!.

    DLV has a deeper character development & more things to worry about on the campaign map. i dont manual battle too often so thats probably why i like it so much.

    im waiting for Zuma 0.8/0.9 and AOR seems to be constantly updating so im waiting for both to be more developed.

    im also playing SS6.1 with all the sub-mods that the installation program gives u (not sure exactly which) and i find it extremely realistic and that it requires a LOT of personal involvement and a detailed checking of especially your generals since the traits they have and develop (war council member, supply system) can have a crippling effect on the growth of your empire (the bigger you get the harder and more time consuming it gets)
    There is nothing that can match the exuberance of youth.... except of course, wisdom and treachery.

    Deus lo vult is for those players who want to be confronted with a real challenge and who like roleplay elements like famous swords etc.

    The great advantage of Stainless Steel is the Late Era Campaign Start. If you play DLV you will almost never reach the gun powder era. Or has anybody seen Arquebusiers playing DLV?

    almost never reached the end of dlv timeline cuz of all the new releases.

    i usually play SS in late era also. in DLV i will try to do historical campaign which starts out with all factions being the correct size that they were back then.

    SS is really exciting. It only takes about 6 years to march your army across Spain. Plenty of time for the men to stop at each and every inn so the general can relax. It is very good, but verrry slow - compared to LTC.

    I prefer SS.

    Only con I can think of is the turn times for some people.

    Both mods offer different challenges & appeal to people for different reasons. You can't really compare the two and indeed it's unfair to do so. A lot, and I mean a lot of work goes into modifications as complete as these two.

    Now to put my moderators hat on...

    It's pointless asking this question in each of the respective sub-forums so I understand why you've posted it here Marku but this forum is supposed to be for Medieval II general discussion, which pretty much means the vanilla game. Therefore I'll be closing this now.
