    XGM (Extended Greek Mod) is an amazing Starter mod, is modfoldered and is simple to learn.

    RS is cool but isn't modfoldered so you lose Vanilla.

    AUP is still my favorite! It just adds units to Factions, doesn't change factions, cities, territories.

    Passing on to describe the way in which Napoleon employed ‘principles’ or ‘ingredients’ for the prosecution of War, it must from the outset be understood that his strategical and tactical systems followed no closely ruled pattern. Every operation was unique; no two were ever quite the same. However, the underlying every Campaign and battle were certain fundamental, which were applied according to circumstances.
    ‘Strategy is the art of making use of Time and Space,’ wrote the Emperor”

    XGM is great but very intense! The AI makes huge armies and will attack with three or four every turn. Lots of action.

    If you want something slower, try Rome Total Realism--though it takes out the gamey units like Egyptian chariots, Roman flaming pigs, German screaming women, etc. Gameplay focuses more on strategy than on winning lots and lots of battles. It's set in the same time period as vanilla, but the factions are quite altered.

    And if you want intense, I suggest SPQR. XGM is a toddler that has just fallen off it's first tricycle, compared to SPQR which is a pimp cruising in it's gangsta-car.
    But the above-mentioned mods are probably better, since they are more like vanilla. Though most people play mods to get away from vanilla.

    Only if you play the Romans.

    Bitter is the wind tonight,
    it stirs up the white-waved sea.
    I do not fear the coursing of the Irish sea
    by the fierce warriors of Lothlind.
