It was pointless to resist... The DarthMod series of Mods strikes back to destroy all gameplay inconsistencies of the original game and offer you better AI, realistic battles and unequaled challenge.
It's a really top notch mod which turns a nearly unplayable game into one of my personal favorites!
However, now that Darth has stopped modding for Total Wars (apparently) there are no updates to the mod which means that any bugs/glitches you may encounter will probably not be fixed (unless you attempt to fix it yourself).
Also, it would be even greater if there were more units for the minor nations but as I said before, it's unlikely as Darth isn't focused on Total War modding anymore.
Overall, great mod (possibly the best for Empire Total War) but needs a new modder so that the mod is glitch free as well as adding more hours of fun by putting in extra features.
