Recommended Submods

[Steampunker]

I'm using Battlefield Buildings Add-on, Complete Unitpics, the recently updated Revamped Enlgish Text and the Dwarf Portrait pack (on top of RotG 1.5.1, Gigantus' version).
I have already browsed the relevant forum, but it's not clear what has been released, what is not compatible anymore with the current version and what is been incorporated in either russian or Gigantus' RotG.
So any reccommendations?
Thanks in advance for helping a noob.

If your using Gig's version, english voices update are a must:

It has a little problem with unit-pictures I think, but there should be a solution for it at late posts of topic.
also shameless self promotion , but here you can get a tad higher resolution textures for Gig's version, I think he lowered them for improved performance and upload size.

Some 2d ones that will work (2d art sub-mods usually work with everything):

Here is in overall graphics mods, I'm using the IB-II one myself, it just makes the game look better overall, all mods actually.

Can't really say about many others, most are for older versions, or under works. I might have missed some, didn't dig too deep, but the battlefield buildings mod changes quite few files, so it might cause compatibility problem.

Usually it is best to ask at the corresponding sub-mod thread "Will this work with this?". Personally I run pretty much with same stuff as you my CoW, just with the voices (which is single a must) and some visual candy, and personal changes, mostly grabbed from Klierowskis WarCry-mod.

Ment to say EB2 , post 30 at the thread I linked, Here is direct link for the mod from Para:

It's easy to use, once applied it is automatically on with M2 and mods, pressing shift+F12 turns it off or on anytime.

Yes there is one, if I remember correctly is simply not copying the EDU file of the translation while "installing it" OR coping the EDU file from the latest patch of Gigantus after you install the translation.

Thanks for recommendations, gonna get some of them. So there are no compatible submods that change balancing or add new "stuff" (units, territories, whatever) for 1.5.1?
