Empire Mod Questions & Recommendations

[alpaca]

I want to play with my german-version, but tha vanilla-AI sucks...

Is there any Mod that makes the AI better, but let me play in german?
New Units, factions or skins are not importent to me, only german-language and AI-twinks...

DarthMod is one of it, but 1.90 is without the better CAI I guess, so i need anotherone. pls help me!

Why don't you have a look at a German forum? http://www.totalwar-zone.de/forum/board.php?boardid=194

hi all, i havent been here for a while, has there been a mod which unlocks the protectorates (id like to play as new spain, or mexico if someone has made it) so you can play as them? it used to freeze at turn 3 or so

EDIT: or instructions on how to do it?

Is there a mod that makes the hand to hand combat last longer and with more finishing moves? I mean it sucks that most of the time the AI just sits there and only the front row fights. I want something more realistic. Hand to hand fighting didnt last 10 seconds. It dragged on...depending on how many men were involved.

I'm using Darthmod right now, but I'm wondering if something like Imperial Splendor or A Proper Empire is better.

What is the best major mod and what are the pros and cons of it?

[upsettingshorts]

I played IS and I liked some things about it, but I found myself returning to Darthmod for reasons I can't quite articulate. DM just felt better for me, it's not much to try both. ETW has, for all its warts, made swapping mods in and out incredibly quick and painless.

[Welshman25]

I may give IS a try. And I agree, I love empire's modding system.

[Godless Pickle]

Yeah, Ive played both IS and DM, and like some aspects about both of them. I cant quite figure out the Pack File Manager though, are there any guides or instructions? Thanks.

[Jihada]

I never really played vanilla. IS with TROM added. I use mod manager and just write pack files to user script.Easy enough when you work it out. I have reskins for all factions now except Indian and not many Polish. Latest Dutch ones are excellent.Smoke and blood mod essential.

[Godless Pickle]

How do you use the Pack File Manager though?

Does IS have the best campaign AI for ETW?

I'm currently trying to decide which mod to use. What are the main differences between IS and APE mod? Thanks in advance

I would like to know this too. Darthmod seems to have good Battle AI but doesn't do much to campaign AI. I'd also like to know about the differences between IS and APE.

I have like 15 retexture mods. I love Razor's redcoats, the new Dutch skins, Remo's full Ottoman, Prussian, and Austrian textures, and my own USA line infantry. I love Bloodmod, and I would use smokemod but it makes my computer lag and I would rather have nicer-looking units and sparkly water than excessive smoke.
