Darthmod Empire or Imperial Splendour?

[Pfundner]

Wondering which one i should play... I guess im going to get a lot of "each is better at certain things" replies... but please just say one or the other Im just looking for which you just generally had the most fun with, i dont mind about specifics.

Please only vote if you've tried both otherwise theres not much point in the poll

Thanks

Actually there is no poll to vote...

But i wouldnot know for wich one to vote anyway.

tried both of them and i preffer IS the musket in darth mod are too weak for my taste .

[Godless Pickle]

Id wait for better mods, these are just simple, fill in the holes, mods.

I see them as bugfix mods for vanilla, and in this case they do theire job.

In fact they fix much more than the ca patches.

Only the CA patch will add invasions from the sea.

Only the CA patch will add invasions from the sea.

Since the last actions, i have serios trust issuse about ca, so i do beleve this if i see it, no second earlier.

But yes they say they fix it, which doesnot mean that right now those 2 mods fix much more than ca did. Of course ca will catch up, at least if they wanna sell anything ever again

We shouldn't have to use mods this game is i am so sick of its problems and it just doesn't feel as epic as rome and med 1 and even shogun felt I hate this game so much now after playing it for ages.

I'm using Darth right now in my current campaign. (but I switch between them)

When they get the bug fixed where sometimes you don't capture ships that surrender, I'll use IS more. I'm pissed enough when I lose 6 ships captured ships worth 6,000. I about flip out when I lose 6 ships worth over 20,000, especially in the early game.

There's no reason you can't use both, especially with how easy it is to switch between mods (although the mod switcher crashes my game, I have to do it manually).

darthmod is not aa bad mod i guess..
but..
the cavalry is really powerfull in that mod.....
also the charge of the musket men are too powerfull,imo the musketry is realistic but the charge is not.....

Darth's just put out a new version with line infantry 350-500 size depending on the faction which starts to make the game seem properly epic (expecially with blood + smoke mod running with it) Also its sea battles are excellent in my own opinion with the slower pace and greater impact of the wind rewarding thought out attacking and careful manuvuering so you dont lose the wind. Cavelry is strong in the mod but its (in the commander edition) only 120 men to 350-500 of a line infantry so it mustn't be left to fight it out without terrain advantages as it will be cut down eventually. In normal darth mod the units are normal sizes (ie vanilla sizes) so the stronger cavalry is more pronounced.
I'm not all that sure about IS. I have heard good things about the campaign AI and some people have put parts of that into the darth mod to alter the campaign to more their tastes but darth has been putting a lot of effort into increasing the AI's effectiveness and agressiveness. I have seen regions changing hands in between AI nations which is better then the relatively passive AI in the vanilla game

sorry i just sounded like a fanboy there. There are aspects that still need to be worked on in the mod in my opinion but it has had a lot of work done on it in the month or so since release

I love Darths Commanders Edition 1.0

[ColdFire]

IS, the battles and campaign feel more fun and logical. In Darth mod things feel either very underpowered, or very over powered. Be warned Commander edition seems to have lots of bug and unbalances.
