Thanks. I had heard about Quixotes combat mods, I'll be taking a look at those.
A new darthmod is out which is meant to have a lot of improvements.
Also the Period Music Mod is on sendspace now so you don't have to worry about crappy Megaupload.
Best game I've ever played. I downloaded that DarthMod. Hopefully it'll make the game even better.
This is what I think of the game.
I give it a 8/10.
14/10 for addictiveness and great gameplay. -1 for a few CTDs, -1 for having to repeatedly fix the game in patches, -2 for complete lack of optimization (it runs like shit on my computer, which can easly run Crysis on high), -1 for no default AI landings (without mods) and -1 for not being able to join some people and my friend's multiplayer games although I can join others.
I give it a 9/10. It has excellent gameplay and AI, but the fact that the Darthmod improves it even more by making the AI better and even implementing ragdolls physics into the game shows that the game wasn't completely finished by TCA.

Ragdolls are on in Vanilla as well.
FFFFF
I can't download the newer version of blood and smoke mod because they're all on shitty file hosts.
Tell me where you want to reupload em.
Anyone want to try using my spreadsheet for ETW for a bit?
I have too many mods already :P
[QUOTE=occer;14363202]Tell me where you want to reupload em.[/QUOTE]
Nevermind, managed to download it immediately after turning on my computer.
Shitty hosts are shitty.
If I take off the LIGHT version of the Smoke Mod, how much of an FPS increase are we talking about here.

I tried removing smoke mod light after having played many hours with it.
Battles felt very shitty without all that smoke, so I immediately reinstalled it.

I know, but there are far fewer ragdolls in Vanilla. Darthmod makes it to where you can commonly gets ragdolls instead of static dead bodies, but it keeps the two amounts balanced as to not cause FPS to be lowered, something that mass amounts of ragdolls can easily do.
Anyone got this funny bug with the dead bodies?

RayvenQ, I'll try your spreadsheet out and a few other things in a bit.
As much fun as ETW is, there's a M&B mod that's recently come out that is around the 18th Century with Austria, GB the US and Sweden and that's awesome, just had an epic 300 Vs 113 man fight and I won (I being the 113 men that is)

Holy shit awesome. Link? :D :D

If that doesn't work just go to the main page and scroll down looking for Age of Gunpowder, it's fairly basic, no neat formations or anything but still decent.

I'm pretty put off from Darthmod thanks to the seemingly autistic creator, his comments in the thread when someone brings up his tweaked musket ranges were along the lines of "muskets are now more destructive and deadlier" and then saying "Accept the musket age!". Well for one back in the early 18th century muskets were pretty terrible ([url=http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=243280]Whoops linked the wrong thread, good read anyway[/url]) and then the whole star wars thing.
I downloaded his mod for Medieval 2, and while I liked around half of the changes it was ruined by the star wars loading screens jesus christ.
Quixotes campaign and battle AI 4lyfe.
English is [b]not [/b]his first language.
But he did make fun of me too in the thread [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-v.gif[/img]
Just got off playing two 2v2 matches online. Both matches had me allied to this complete and utter idiot host.
First match;
1. Small unit size and early period. I was on the right, he was on the left. No forests and open ground.
2. Limited to 8 infantry units, no cavalry or arty.
3. Deployed stakes in front of his line infantry despite the fact that he himself restricted cavalry.
4. Insisted we kept close together.
5. I was being flanked hard, he was slow to respond to my cries of help. Enemy wasn't attacking his side.
6. He suddenly decides that all his unscathed units should plug bayonets and charge the enemy.
7. His light infantry ended up behind enemy lines just standing there doing nothing.
8. All of his exhausted line infantry engaged in melee combat are routed.
9. Light infantry still standing here.
10. Defeat.
Second match;
1. This time ultra unit size and late period. I was on the right, he was on the left. Plenty of trees and there was a forest in the middle.
2. Limited to 8 unit cards but 2 arty units allowed.
3. Was absolutely shit at deploying his infantry, all clustered together in 4-6 rank deep formations.
4. I hide my Windbüsche Jäger in said forest. Mortars to the left of this forest and line infantry also in the forest.
5. Naturally, the enemy bombards his cluster fuck of units. He runs into the forest I'm hiding in.
6. Upon exclaiming, "What the fuck?!". He goes on to say that his game is 'messed' and that he can't control his units.
7. Half his units have been decimated by enemy arty. My Jägers completely and utterly rape two riflemen units and a line infantry unit before dying themselves.
8. I'm left to defend against 4 units worth of Guards with my 3 line infantry.
9. He crashes, the game ends prematurely.
10. Defeat.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Just got my first 5 chevron unit. It's a Line Infantry that helped me take down 3 seperate nations, the same one that killed 500 to it's ~90 losses in an above post. They're now like death motherfucking incarnate and annhilate things. It's awesome.

Oh wow. Didn't know they could go above three chevrons.

5 chevrons? You mean 1 chevron and a star, the maximum chevrons is 4, anything after has a star.
Does the darthmod a few of you talk about make the game much better? I hardly play it due to being that easy it's boring.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Can't really talk for DarthMod, but download Quixote's battle and campaign changes, they're brilliant and certainly make the game harder.
this one? [url]http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=239309[/url]
Yes, along with his campaign AI. [url]http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=242421[/url]
