Before I try it (which takes time), can you tell us if the AI behaves better with it?

I was sorely disappointed with RTR 4.1 when I found that after 20 turns or so, most of the factions had barely expanded anywhere and most of the map was still rebel.

It seems they have scrapped the carpenters and the stone quarrys(or whatever they are called) so there will still be that sense of ship massing, but as far as i have played it (about 30 turns), the ai SEEMS to be better.

Is this mod. a total converstion or is the original campaign still an available option like with the WesMod. in MTW?

Unfortunately (due to the way CA set up the text files) you cannot play the original campaign if you install RTR. To work around this, make a copy of the entire data folder in your RTW directory and then install RTR5.0. When you want to go back to the original campaign, just rename the current data folder (something like "RTR50data") and then rename "Copy of Data" to "Data".

So, would the copy of the original data folder be retained within the activision folder under say the name: "orginal data"? Switching between the two would be a process of remaining the one to play "data" and saving the other under another title? Is this correct?

If you just copy and paste the data folder, the original folder will be named "Copy of data". The rest of your supposition is correct - rename the folder you want to use "data" before starting the program.

Also, realize that whatever folder is named "data" at the time of RTR installation is where it will be installed.
