Any patch/mod to apply Kingdoms balance changes to vanilla M2TW?

You will need to patch the game to 1.2 to handle some major bugs (shield and partly 2h). You won't get the Kingdoms balance in the grand campaign unless you buy Kingdoms and use the retrofit mod. There is also a 1.3 patch that is only useful if you want to play MP games against players with Kingdoms. Patch 1.5 is only for Kingdoms.

If you don't have Kingdoms, you can patch up to 1.2 and use my mod (in my signature). It has a full unit rebalance and many bugfixes.

Use Factionheir's mod. It is pure awsomeness!

Once he fixes the 2handers animation that is.

Its on my list, but the current balance helps with making them relatively effective.

Not if the animation wont let them kill.

Luckily I only use 2 units of them, and only because I like Billmen.

Thanks for the help guys: I've downloaded and installed the 1.2 patch. However, the DEK still seem woefully inadequate compared to DFK, at least in terms of 1v1 performance in custom battles.

I remember them being quite a bit better with whatever mod set up I was using last...what's the consensus view of where 'balance' is with DEK regarding DFK?
