Yeah, I'm playing Lands to Conquer - I haven't even tried the vanilla game yet, as the consensus seems to be that LtC is much better balanced and plays better (am I missing anything?). Still pretty easy though, since its easy to lure the enemy into assaulting your cities and then wiping out all their troops. I've played ~7 campaigns or so, either winning the short campaign or getting so huge that it wasn't fun anymore, and have yet to see gunpowder, any ships other than the first 2 levels, or the Timuruds. Mostly playing on Normal/Very Hard, as playing on Hard or Very hard campaign difficulty seems to mean constant war with every faction, which isn't much fun either.
Definitely looking forward to other mods though over the next ~6 months or so. The most fun I had with RTW were the RTR and EB mods. Very cool.
