This is okay but some changes are not for the better. This sub-mod makes the game much easier, which is not good as it was already too easy to steam roll through Thera. Within the first 10 turns I am making a few thousand income, Building a new building in every settlement at all times, fielding multiple full stack armies while having 5-10 free upkeep units per settlement, unit costs are so incredibly cheap across the board offering little reason to ever use lower tier troops. A Tier 1 swordsman only cost 20-50 less then the tiers above. Most units are available to recruit on turn 1, This completely removes the feeling of advancing the nation and instead feels like you are assuming control of some super power on turn 1. My catapult would not attack the wooden gates of a town no matter how it was positioned. Catapults are so insanely OP, both the amount of ammo a unit has and the amount of damage is just stupid. With 1 catapult unit I destroyed the city gates, two Towers and smashed three holes into the stone wall. With catapults being this powerful I dread to see what you have done to cannons. One shot wall down? Also why remove family trees for some factions? And did you remove the non aggression pact option in diplomacy?
Also during install I noticed your TheraV4 folder has a mod folder within it, that folder has a Therav4 folder in that.. this a mistake?

Dnt mean to be negative. Overall the new units are great and im sure there is more good to discover. i will put some more time in on the mod. Any new addition to Thera is a welcome change, thnx for your work developing this

Started campaign as Venice, noticed I could recruit Swiss, American and Indian mercs on turn 1. Is this intended?
Also I noticed on the faction selection screen many faction descriptions say unplayable.. Should i just stick to the original factions or can I play a full campaign as one of the added factions?

ah nvm i figured it out. Thought the mod was active with mod manager simply by running the program.. didnt notice I had to uncheck the show all pack types box to make the check boxes appear in order to activate the mod. Goin to start a campaign now :)

So I reinstalled Empire, I placed the AUM-EMP and Prelude to War files in my empire Data folder, and the startpos to data/campaigns/main. I then added the optional graphics pack and the UAC to data folder. I launched Mod Manager 1.5 and launched the game through the mod manager. I have many more factions available then Vanilla game but Range for troops is generally around 70-90 not 200. Did I do something wrong?

dnt see any UCP linked anywhere. All units are 120 soldiers. Also graphics options are not allowing me to pick anything other then low/med
Starred a couple turns as Venice, will try more tomorrow

Going to download and try it out now. Honestly I have never played Empire TW other then an hour or two at release so this mod will be my base Empire experience :)

Just decided to finally play this game after years of it sitting on the shelf. As with all other TW titles I assume its much more enjoyable with a good mod. From what I have seen on moddb I have narrowed it down to either this mod or Darth mod. Was just curious if you could tell me some of the pros/cons of this mod over Darthmod?

Congrats on reaching V3. Downloading now.

Only played for a couple hours so far but already i can tell this is one of the best mods available for Warband.
Yhnx Perisno creators i am goin to get a lot of enjoyment out of this mod

Looks awesome. Downloading now

BEST M&B MOD EVER MADE.

lol. No apologies needed, SOD is fun and has given me many hours of entertainment, so thank you for that. Also Caribbean looks EPIC best of luck throughout development.

Add Merc factions already! This has been "Test Combatant" for ever. And now i read that the SOD team has decided to rebuild the mod from the ground up.. Why? this mod is awesome currently and if you would just add the features you have listed for version 4 it would be the best mod. So add the features that everyone has been waiting for then start working on your new build from the ground up. M&B modders are a great group for never finishing their work.

Forget previous post. Nexus just has an odd sign up page, they really make it look like you need to pay to sign up. Just don't tick any payment option boxes and go straight to create account. Downloading now, will post a review and bugs after i have put some hours in.
Hosting a download of this on google drive would be nice.. or a torrent

Only hosted download is on Nexus? But i have to pay to sign up for Nexus? Wtf

Looks interesting. Downloading now.

Why is this for 1.143 instead of the obvious choice of 1.153, you know considering any other mod worth playing is for 1.153.

Will this work with 1.153 or do i need a new M&B install patched up to 1.143.. Best mod i have played for M&B just retarded to release it for 1.143
