Tempest

Mod review

I like the updated texts and items! Unfortunately the game crashes pretty often in sea battles.

English Civil War

Early access mod review

Without a doubt the best mod for WFaS out there. It doesn't play like an alpha version of a free mod, it plays like an official release with half a year of patches. Very stable, I haven't encountered any bugs so far.

The mod has good atmosphere and flavor, recreating the histroric set faithfully. It reuses scenes from the original WFaS, but also introduces new ones that look scratch made, but fit in perfectly. The items are all reworked and plausible for the setting. Balancing seems to be improved over vanilla WFaS; especially muskets are less accurate as it is historically correct and better balanced.

The mod introduces cannons, but I haven't progressed enough to use them yet. What I have seen so far is as polished as I would expect from a paid release and plays better than vanilla WFaS. It gets 9 points for that perfection, I only subtract one for the reuse of some vanilla scenes and models although I have to concede that their reuse makes sense given the similarities of the settings and is pulled off extremely well.
