Empire Total War Update 1.6 Is Out

[QUOTE="DanielDust"]

I presume you know that this is a Steam game and it automatically updates, right?

And of course you wouldn't look there, why would you, it would show how wrong you are (most threads are CTD, they can't even play the game, I at least can play a few minutes).

I'll try again with the darth mod the next time I install it, but that's mostly for AI, it won't do much to the game.

If you're complaining about AI just download Darthmod problem solved.

Does nothing to fix the broken strategic AI so what's the point of playing if winning the campaign map is assured?

It modifies them, but it doesn't fix them. Your allies still refuse to conduct trades that are in their best interests. Enemies wander about the countryside with no apparant focus. They prefer conductign raids on your farms to trying to take your cities. When they do decide to attack a city, they inevitibly do so with insufficient force. Further, they never, ever follow up their initial attack with a second or third wave. Finally, they seem incapable of conducting a reasonable defence. They refuse to garrison their core cities even when under obvious threat.

I was just looking at the Darthmod. I can't understand how this is good if it puts Star Wars into a historical game? What's with the menu?

Are you sure this is with darthmod? Whenever the enemy has a clear advantage they attack my cities. Also, attacking farms is an excellent way to hamper someones economy by stopping output and forcing the player to spend money to repair the settlements.

In my last campaign I had a few turns left to conquer some indian regions for world domination and as soon as I landed my swedish forces (equal in number, superior in quality) the marathans withdrew all their troops to their cities. Again I feel the need to ask are you sure darthmod was working for you?

:oops: My mistake. I have gone to the official site of Darthmod and this looks great. Just can't figure if I should put up with the menu with Darth Vader (even though it's cool it doesn't suit the game) and use Ultimate, or stick with the DM Empire Edition.
I have a i7 with 5970 so either should run ok.
Will I get a better experience with the ultimate with all those extras?

Pretty much yes. The extras include things like blood and smoke mod, which as the name suggests enhances battlefield smoke and blood. There various other fixes too. Btw if you dont like the menu there is a way to not use it, not sure exactly how but the forums should point you in the right direction.
