Mods to Improve Overall Gameplay

[OMGLAZERS]

Can anyone recommend any mods out yet to improve the overall gameplay?

I'll refrain from CA-Bashing as that's not productive, but if anyone can suggest mods to make my gameplay experience more enjoyable and justify me owning the game, i'd love it.

Thanks :D

Lusted's Lands to Conquer is a good one I heared

So far I can recommend Lusted's post patch Lands to Conquer mod.

It fixes billmen which was a major thing for me as I wanted a decent English campaign. The fix is good, although it clearly shows the unit stat vs. unit performance problem in the game. I think he has switched animations for the troops and lowered stats a lot (attack and def about 4-5) but the performance is about par with the Medieval1 billmen if you are familiar with them (so it is pretty good).

Also, it uses 1y/1t timescale and building times seem to be well adjusted (so that some things still take 1 turn, but most things take longer when compared to 2y/1t timescale.

So, so far I am liking it. It may be however that the diplomacy is a bit too lenient at M difficulty and human players can abuse this by allying everyone but a single enemy too easily.
