I'm a rep whore so rep me already
Just consider that the principal modder for Stainless Steel has a thread devoted to his worship.

I can't think of any other modders who get this. Heck, CA doesn't even get a worship thread.
Your kidding? This mod, if it was to be sold, KK would buy freaking SEGA and CA with the money he would make from SS and TATW
these are a MUST mods for any player that knows about total war series...

6.1 is SS, 6.2 is upgraded Vanilla
And for a long time, I didn't think it would be better, and didn't download it.
And then I downloaded it. Boy, was I wrong![]()
Jon had taken Donal and Benjen’s advice to heart: Sam may be fat and pathetic, but he is still a member of the watch, and one of the few black brothers who isn't a rapist or thief. (out of context, this sounds ridiculously racist)

Neptune7, buy Kingdoms, download SS and patch it to 6.2 and start playing. Then start a campaign with unmodded medieval. I can't even remember playing it anymore but it will be like watching someone pour rapid-setting cement into your freshly build olympic grade swimming pool. Seriously, stop hunting for info and go shopping. Your wasting good time you could already be spending enjoying the game
SS is vanilla plus, its the same general concept as vanilla mtw2, but with new... virtually everything. Its helpful to think of SS as Vanilla, but redone.
Just try it, within seconds, you'll see what i mean i think.
Get this mod !
I played Vanilla for about 7 months, then TA for 2 or so, then I tried Retrofit but with the EDU of an early version of RC for a month, then got SS in late January and never looked back. After a few months of SS, I laugh when I remember what Vanilla was like. It was so basic! So simple! So unrealistic! Such stupid AI! Such a small map! So few settlements! So few factions! Such utter bullcrap! (militias killing knights, archers mowing down heavily armored troops, armies composed entirely of knights, etc.) SS is the game M2 should have been. With RR/RC, of course. I was afraid of it in the beginning (the R part, not the C, I wanted that one), but once I tried it I absolutely loved it.
TA was also cool, but I eventually got fed up with those stinking trolls. WHY WON'T YOU JUST #$!#%!#% DIE! I will go back to it eventually, but with RR/RC this time. Then again, now that I have figured out a fantastic way of removing the troll problem, it wouldn't even be necessary. Then again, it should make the game even more fun.
Broken Crescent I will download tomorrow, since I've heard nothing but good things about it, and leave it sitting around until I get bored of SS, which might take a hwile. A what? A hwile. Why are you saying it like that? I'm just saying we'll be here a hwile, Brian.
It is THIS much better.![]()

....But is it REALLY that much better?...
It is a lot better. I downloaded SS and went for VH/VH at start. My tiny little empire was struck down into the ground every single time.
The Enemy of Human Souls
Sat grieving at the cost of coals;
For Hell had been annexed of late,
And was a sovereign Southern State.
