I'll get VI next week or the week after and I can't wait to play. I will of course install a mod (after getting a taste of the Vikings). After reviewing all the mods I'm left with XL and BKB supermod. I wanted to pick BKB as they have the Flemish in it (I'm Flemish) and XL hasn't but after reading the BKB thread I'm more hesitant. I admit I didn't read the entire thread so I don't know if improvements were made but it seems that it has some annoying bugs and is quite a hassle to get it to work properly.

So what I'm asking is:
1) Which mod do you prefer and why?
2) Was what I read about the BKB supermod about the beta version and has it been fixed?
3) What are the major downsides of both the mods?

Thanks in advance for your help
