AOR 2.3
A submod made for TATW 3.2, that focuses on bug fixing, adding content and balancing.
Key Features:

- a new Area of Recruitment system has been added, now most militia and noble units can only be recruited in a factions home territory, only professionals and semi-professionals can be recruited everywhere, also there are many more units specific to certain regions - check the region and barracks buildings for information if any special units can be recruited in a region
- 4 new factions (dunland, lorien, ered luin, anduin vale)
- a massive number of new units, many of them AOR units.
- new regions.
- complete rebalancing of all units in the game, see this thread for a general idea how they are balanced.
- the most excellent AUI mod has been added.
- completely rebalanced building tree
- dunland, harad and rhun get their own cultures
- better balancing of the factions on the campaign map - it often will happen that by as late as turn 70 no faction is getting the upper hand (if the player isn't doing just that of course)
- you can revive Arnor, even if Aragorn dies.
- some other minor changes

Goofy's Battlefield Speed System 1.0
This submod for SS 6.4 aims to provide you an exceptionally complex system of individual unit battlefield marching (or well, actually running) speeds.

Detailed Info:

In the official version of SS there's little difference between units' marching speeds, and that's the purpose of the existence of this mod. There are now individual movement speed factors for each unit including unit training, weapon, armour and mount type. Missile cavalry have also been given an extra minus modifier, although not as significant as there's in the official version of SS - this is to represent their aiming and hence their speed has been slightly decreased (from what it would've been with my speed factors - they're still usually faster than originally in SS). Partially due to this semi-heavy cavalry units with strong horses, such like Mailed Knights, are now rather effective at pursuing enemy missile cavalry now being 1.3 % faster than before - that's just to give you an example of how this mod works. On the other hand some heavy cavalry units may actually be faster than before due to the differences between this system and RealCombat. The differences and changes in unit speeds are nonetheless not greater than a maximum of several percents, as that is really enough to give your game a bit more spicy taste. I can not exactly describe what the mod is like, especially as the changelog is as long as the list of land units - however, you'll just have to try it out and see if you like it (I'm sure you'll do)!
