Stainless Steel: Yes or No?

[Dark_Dragon]

Hi, I've recently gotten the Gold Edition of M2TW and I'm Interested in D/L the mod, however I have some Questions before I do that.

1) In Terms of Unit Rosters, Factions etc. How Historically Accurate is this Mod?

2) Compared of Vanilla M/M How much harder is Stainless Steel's M/M?

3) Finally, how much Smarter is the AI?

1) Not very accurate, but a lot more accurate than Deus Lo Vult or any other such mod - don't know about Dominion of the Sword though - and there are many nice mods for Stainless Steel which focus on historically more accurate unit roster for a certain faction.

2) Not very much, the AI is just better - it doesn't declare a war to you if you're allied and have quite good relations, but on the other hand it's more likely to attack you suddenly if your relations aren't that good. Additionally the AI gets extra money if its income is too low, otherwise it couldn't be a proper enemy to human player; now AI factions are harder to destroy.

3) Quite much, but I still suggest downloading Lusted's Battle AI (Submods forum) and if you want, some Campaign AI (I use the Vanilla SS CAI, so I can't say much about this).

Add Real Recruiment of Point Blank after SS.
