Yes 3.0 is the current release but I am working on 4.0 which will make the game even more of a challenge as well as some new Eye candy.

As for Cavalry, I think SPQR handles it fine, BUt again for MP most play Large settings and SPQR is designed for Huge.

On battle length SPQR has the Longest battles of any mod. How do I know this well I designed it and worked on EB giving them longer battles using the common method which is DIFFERENT than the method I used with SPQR. I like SPQRs battles the best for me, but then again that is WHY I made the mod, fo myself. I decided to share with others who like to play the same way.

Sorry Puzzle3d the MP thing didnt work out, I really did try hard. :-) BUt as you know its a different style of play from SP. BI might change things who knows.

I do think most of the MP problems with SPQR was related to someone on some end having a corrupted install, because I can still play MP on a LAN with NO problems. So who knows? I do know that some even have problems with Vanilla MP.

I'm playing it. It's more challenge than vanilla that's for sure. The draw is different though. SPQR is for those who love battles more than anything. The city building and other diplomatic tricks like bribing and even spying has been reduced. It's all about military might. In vanilla, I only need to trap and crush a faction's main army, then their entire nation is ripe for the taking. In SPQR, they'd get an entire stack in just 1-2 turns. It's definitely a good challenge since the AI is pretty retarded about protecting their borders.

@ Irishman3
thank you for helping me find it

@ lt1956
The mod is awesome

I had a brief look at the changes for 4.0, no diplomats? no peace? Really deserves the name Total War

No diplomats. Now that is a good idea.

No worries Mahrabals, and sorry I didn't reply about the version thing. I'm just signed up on too many different boards for too many different games to track them all, heh (*holds fore finger and thumb in the shape of an L on his forehead

).

But you got an answer from 'the man' himself

, so all is good. It really is a great mod, changes the campaign and battle strategy to a whole different ball game if you know what I mean. I'm really looking forward to 4.0 Lt *hint, hint*

Btw lt, thanks for finally beefing up cavalry in 3.0. I'm very happy with it now as they can actually fight and not die anytime an infantry unit decided to fight them. They're not the uber steamrollers like in vanilla, but they don't drop like flies anymore.
