ready to give it a try

[I of the Storm]

yes, Kingdoms is required (v. 1.3 IIRC): see the download instructions.

As to game-play: It's still a gem in the rough (it is a beta), but combat is a bit different to what was there before. What I'll be describing is the battlefield itself--what I work on the most:

For starters, it is more reliant on routing, rather than killing, your enemy soldiers. Otherwise combat can be quite slow and difficult to win, though there are mini-mods and fixes out there that speed that part up, should you find it too slow. Javelins buggy, but QuintusSertorius has released a temporary fix for that aspect (and for his effort is now an EB II member). Beyond that, I'll leave it to you to form a full judgement.

Thank you.

Downloading now, we'll see.

The javelin bug sounded really annoying, I'll make sure to apply this fix.
