I played (tried mostly) all mods , but since I play Romans mostly I found that I prefer the RTR version (plus few my own tweaks and add ons mostly) to be the most enjoyable. Now I'm 100 game years in my Roman campaign and waiting for the reform before expanding.

When I'm bored with the repeated battles and sieges , I mod my vanilla 1.5. Only the text files now , no others yet.
