    More challeging, more complex (but not complicated). It's a big download, but still worth it every MB, lol!

    Is it harder in SS to get the late units than it is in vanilla? The reason I ask is because it is much harder to get citadels and huge cities.

    I suggest a couple of blondes and a pool, but in the mean time yes SS.
    Shogun 2, no thanks I will stick with Kingdoms SS.

    Not only that, SS6.4 is 1turn per year, plus Real recruitment, so it will take a lot longer to get late units....

    One of the good things about SS is the way you can customize your own game. BGR4 is awesome, but you can play without, RR is also optional.

    An easy way to get Citadels is to use the AI. It's very hard on your own, you need a super governor to get there, but around 1300 (late era campaign), the AI fortresses meet the requirements. Capture one without sacking of course and you have your Citadel (right at the front line where you want them).

    SS is how vanilla should have been

    You can expect everyone here to suggest you play it. It has more units, more factions, more buildings, more traits, better AI ............ so on and so on, definitely worth it

    Yeah, basically anyone who finds his way to this forum will sooner or later end up downloading this masterpiece anyway, but from time to time some folks need a little bit of encouragement.

    The only 'downside' to this mod is that it may take over all your free time and then some

    Easily one of the best mods I have ever played for any TW game.

    if you prefer more vanilla feel in SS, simply toggle off RR/RC and BGR.

    If you prefer some limit in the amount of "elite" units you see in battles, turn on RR/RC.

    If you want some more challenge, toggle BGRII.

    If you wanna experience living hell, turn on BGR4 as well as RR/RC, and try vh/vh campaign as a faction like lithuania or the crusader states.
    On your PC, the units seem to perform quite poorly. I think there might be something nearby the PC that is causing this problem for you. You may need a mirror to find out what it is.

    I think SS is recommended just on its strength of having fixes for the bugs found in vanilla version...
    If you want to sample it and you're not an experienced player, you're better off starting on a short campaign with a faction like England... that is to say, well protected geographically.

    Yes and yes though it is so much harder than Vanilla. So be mentally and emotionally prepared for defeat.
