Stainless Steel mod..any good?

[lancelot]

Hello all,

I noticed that this mod seems to incorporate Kingdoms units into vanilla MTW2- which is exactly the kind of mod Im after.

But what is the general opinion on this mod? Good? Bad? Incomplete? Stable or not? etc etc

Cheers in advance.

I think it is stable for a mod but still europe playing BC for the moment and dont have plans to go to europe just yet. from what i remeber it was a good mod but havent playd it much.

I think SS is a very good mod. The current build (5.1 i think) has main menu crashes, but once you get to the campaign map/battle map it's a very stable game. Hopefully those crashes will be addressed in the soon coming 6.0. The A.I is pretty solid from what I remember and the faction list is pretty diverse with Kingdom additions like Ireland in the mix.

It's a mod definitely worth the look if nothing else!

Stainless Steel is a nice mod with lots of improvements to the regular game, some new units, titles, better AI and AI armies, etc. It's also very stable (like Monk, I have only experienced a crash at a menu, and only one so far). I prefer Broken Crescent, but it looks like Stainless Steel will be used in the new KOTR game and I have to admit it's a great mod.

Cheers for the replies.

Would I be correct in assuming that you dont need kingdoms to play the mod BTW?

I think the mod uses the kingdoms .exe to launch from, so I'm fairly certain you do need the expansion to play it.

edit: But i'm not 100%
