Questions about SSHIP

[Sloty]

Hi!
What does this mod do compared to SS 6.4?
Is it harder or easier?
Is there only one campaign or two?
How stable is this mod?I mean does it have many crashes to desctop?
How advanced are the armies at the start of the campaign?
How do I install it? I have installed SS bugfix compilation 1.27.
Does SSHIP install into a seperate order?

You should check SSHIP subforum and post there.
(1)Anyways, SSHIP is a vast improvement on SS6.4, it has a gorgeous new map, much more historical and beautiful than vanilla SS, 6 new factions I think (Abbasids, Zengids, Pisa, Rum Seljuks, Georgia and Serbia), new AI, new settlement models, new economy, destroyed factions can re-emerge, slower settlement growth and development, captured enemy settlements are much harder to hold, rebels are much more active, diplomacy is much more realistic plus a million more features. Best you try it for yourself.
(2)It's harder because the money is more tight and unrest is a big problem in captured regions.
(3)One campaign, start date 1132, 2 turns per year
(4)The mod might be called beta but don't let that fool you, it's extremely stable and well polished, turn times are very short.
(5)Same as SS
(6)There are instructions on the download page, it is extracted into your SS6.3 folder

Okay Thanks!
But is it free from bugs and crashes to desktop?
Are there still a lot of rebell settlements to conquer?

I dont get it , do I have to reinstall all of Medieval2 + Stainless Steel + then SSHIP?

It's pretty much bug free, I've only had a few crashes and I've played the mod extensively.

Map looks like this:

You don't have to reinstall everything, the installation instructions are here.

Which are some beginner facitions which I can play with with SHIP?

So I have to ask: What strategies do I have to use?

Which is a beginner friendly faction to play as?

All you need is a clean version of SS 6.4, you don't have to uninstall Mtw2.

Thx!
Ah I see there are new factions.Cool!
Is there a guide on the SSHIP factions strengths and weaknesses?

Which faction is medium sized but has good units and good income at the start of the campaign?
