Ask yourself the following 5 questions:
1. Why should I download this mod?
2. When Is the New mod available?
3. Is this the full version of the game?
4. Does this make my game work smoothly?
5. Will it be updated?

The 5 answers are:
1. This mod is an evolution of the previous supermod designed to stabilize AoP and make it more enjoyable to play.

2. The Mod is Available now.

3. No this is not the full version of the game. This mod is compatible with the original 1.4.1 game disc available here:
Amazon.com

4. This game still does have some irreversible problems. This game has a bug in enemy surrender dialogue that CTD's without warning. The game is quirky/CTD on first start-up (Workaround- disable User account control for that application). The Audio can sometimes stack up eventually causing a CTD (Workaround - save game when you hear stacked music and restart the application).

5. Planned updates are as follows with version numbers:
- v3.5 = Bloody Mischelle/storyline fix and new music for towns and church (released)
- v4.0 = Application Installer (released)

Mod Includes:
Ships:
- 9 New Ships Added:
· Light Sloop - fast modestly armed military vessel. (one mast)

Music/Sounds:
