I tried Stainless Steel mod and I must say after a few days of play that it looks promising. There are a few annoying bugs etc that need to get fixed, like a crash to desktop bug that happens quite frequently, luckily it's a hotfix out to solve it.

Cheers for recommendation, I might try out The Long Road if Stainless Steel fails

Playing the Stainless Steel mod atm, pretty nice changes to the game theyve made tbh.

Although the way even loyal Generals seem to just decide to up sticks and go native is really bloody stupid.

I had a 6* loyalty templar leader seiging Adana (which is like just round the corner from the templar main base). Templar leader has 9* authority and second year of the siege, bam 3000 men gone..... annoying

Make sure you get the hotfix as well, as it fixes the annoying crash to desktop icon bug. May also add that cavalry is hugely imbalanced in standard SS, I recommend Real Combat Mod for SSv4.0 - Total War Center Forums, a small addition that balances units better. Unless you like Arab Light Cavalry walking into and destroying 3 units of spearmen ofc

Shagrat: Sounds wierd, I know there is a bug with one of the Templar generals starting with zero loyalty, might be whats causing him to rebel all of a sudden. I think this was fixed or is getting fixed in hotfix anyways.

What annoys me the most is the reality traits, thank god they lessened the "Destroyed reputation" trait as it was hard to avoid. It's a bit silly too when your general gets some sickness after 2 turns out in the field every time, not to mention "Severly Wounded" after every autoresolve

Overall I really think this mod is superb, great fun with new factions and the supply system is cool too.

So, playable?

(I removed the reality traits, as they were causing more annoyance than good)

yup

4 parts - brit, US, teutons, crusades

each has about half a dozen playable races, some start, some need unlocking.

crusades : teutons, russians, poles, danes, mongols, lithuania
america : apaches, incas, mayans, "new spain" , "new france", "new england" and some other unpronouncable tribes
brit: wales, scots, irish, english + english barons revolt
crusades : crusaders x2 (templars + hosiptalers iirc) , turks, egypt, byzantine, and the failed, er, fourth (?) crusade.

you can install each seperatley, they are between 1+2 gig each.
ther is also a mod out that allows a lot of the expansion features to be used in the campaign, not tried it but heard its good.
all in all, if you like MTW2, get it

Only the 4 UK factions? Was hoping might be like the old MTW1 Viking expansion with more detailed ones. Oh well, guess by then was only 4 factions. More UK based units available tho with the expantion?

Will try and pick it up tonight and have a bash anyhow.

i lie, was doing it from memory, there is a viking force of some sort aswell, think the danes, not 100% sure.

all races get specific units, some are new , some are old.

Been playing it a fair bit, it's okay but main thing irritating me is they didn't bother doing new voice over for the various factions. The irish speak in scots accents, the welsh in english and the norwegians sound like serbian gangsters.

When you pay for an official add on you want all the bells and whistles, not just a new map and some redesigned units like any free mod.
