The new DarthMod Empire version 6.9 is fantastic to play, in battles or in the campaign map. You can download it here Moddb.com.
The AI has been optimized
The battle AI has been improved with various methods. The Campaign AI has been enhanced so that it develops and fills the trades routes while it keeps to be aggressive and to launch powerful naval invasions. Choose your allies wisely, and do not double cross them, because you will need them more than ever!

DarthMod Empire is a modification for the PC Game "Empire: Total War" and it has 2 variations.
The DarthMod Empire Commander (DM) improves the vanilla as much as possible without changing too much the core settings.
The DarthMod Ultimate Commander (DMUC) in addition is a complete overhaul with many more features.
DarthMod Productions, i need some help.
This has occured to several different versions of DM.
After a while of gaming, lets say, 1-2 days, the game stops working. I havnt been messing around with the scripts which it activates but i still wont work after a while. It launches up but without the new menu, flags, units and so on. Why?
Please download the Patch with the hotfix. I have just uploaded it but awaits moddb authorisation.
Visit the forums for more information.

Does everyone need this hotfix?
Great mod. Very interested to see what you did with melee.
You mean the charge effects, the penetration of melees, the general havoc created. I think I did the best I could within the limitations of the game engine. Thanks.
Posted a post about the update here Modsentry.com keep it up, Empire is one of my favourite total war games!
Thank you. Good summary of the mod ;).
Hi DARTH
I have played your DMUC mod for a few months now and are really impressed and have enjoyed it immensely, so much so that even though it causes my computer to crash about every hour or so i reboot and continue playing ;) But after i innstalled the 6.2 to 6.8 upgrade, the computer crashes about every 5 min and it becomes almost unplayable.
I have a fairly standard packard bell comp, with dual graphic cards and windows vista home. I have also set all video settings in the game to medium or below,and even turned AA off entirely. Can you please help me with some tips on what to do to make the game/comp stable so i can continue playing your excellent mod!?
Best regards ---FALK---
The solution is to download and install the new version 6,9 on top of 6,8.
Thank you for your comments.
Good work Darth, Going to reinstall Empire just to see what you did.
i have installed version 6.5...is ok if i use that 6.2 - 6.9?
Playing this now in between Shogun2 sessions, amazing work Darth. Love it.
Awesome mod!! too bad my graphics card overheats if i play for more than 30 mins :(
