adonys killing rate mod is an improvement. I played the battle of Sparta...took almost 2 hours from start to finish. Units faught long and bloody battles most taking over 5-10 mins to route. I actually had enough time to issue separate flanking orders for each engangment and never onced puased (ofcourse I never did even before this mod) and I had time to watch a little fighting, some really great animations when your down there seeing them duke it out.
