What Graphical Mods go well with DEI?

Can anyone share their feedback?

Use GEM and Aztec. If you want proof the look at the pictures Lucifer_Hawk have posted in the thread, Experimental Battle pack here on the DeI forum. He is the creator of GEM. The results are IMO amazing and no other graphical mods are needed. There is also a particle mod on steam that might be useable.

GEM; Gerula; BetterLOD; Combatus Maximus Shiny Equipment; Better Siege Weapons & Equipments; Better Water III HD; Better Horses,Elephants & Dogs and Special Effects Enhancement 1.6.
Hope it helped

Thanks guys

Oh and yeah I use GEM but sometimes it's a bit much and just use a SweetFX1.5.1 setting instead.

Hardcoded, I think? Don't quote me on that.

I had a look through this list and could not find out where that better LOD mod is. Hardcoded- am I missing something? Only thing for me now on DEI is terrible texture popping when zooming in and out. If anyone of you could point the mod out that be great. Thank you kindly!

Thank you for linking those.

So to clarify, LOD-distance doesn't appear to be what these mods change, but rather through shading they are able to circumvent the issue at least in part in order to make for a smoother and less-apparent transition between levels of detail.

Very smart on the modders' part, I'll give both a shot.

OH and here are the Graphics-related mods I currently use:

GEM is worth it if your hardware can take the hit, but I only use it for screenshots on occasion. I find it pretty superfluous to actual gameplay, but that's just my take.

**AstroCat** · February 25, 2015, 02:43 PM

You can also use GEM (the .pack file)for just his environment changes like Aztec's since he's still developing them and Aztec's is pretty much abandoned.
