A question for the Alex.exe users

[Shadowwalker]

With quite a huge delay - thanks for the reply, konny. Have used both mods in my current installation.
The game finally got delivered.
I ended up with using jirisys' mod compilation (adding a few things here and there - like the new RSII environment - and removing some other things, like the realistic movement).
So far I have been lucky in terms of CTD's, the only thing that is new are random (but rare) instant crashes from the campaign map to the desktop during my own turn. Never had that before. After-battle-crashes seem to have become less common though. Good thing!

I started a roman campaign yesterday and hells, the AI seems to be quite a bit smarter both on campaign and battle map.
Virtually every faction is expanding nicely (I am in 238 at the moment), only the KH got almost kicked out of Greece but at least shipped over the troops from Krete.
And the poor AS is eaten by Pontos, Ptolemies, Pahlava and Baktria, but so far manages to defend the mesopotamian/syrian core provinces (Antiocheia got lost in 271 but since then there's a raging war over Edessa that is still going on, same goes for Ekbatana/Susa).
There are exactly two rebel provinces around my borders (my empire is kind of "small" still because of the "No attack on non-hostile AI factions" rule - just Italy including Cisalpine Gaul, Sicily, Corsica/Sardinia, Massalia and the two upper Illyrian provinces) - everything else has been taken by the AI factions.
And no overwhelmingly strong faction yet, they kind of balance each other out for now.
Definitely the most interesting campaign (in terms of AI expansion and behaviour) I had so far.
