Is Divide Et Impera worth it?

[IRIS]

Hi everyone
I started playing this game last night, and as always, I just love good overhauls for TW games. Since there is no more darthmod :/ It seems everything is pointing towards Radious(which I never liked) and DEI. Since I am looking for something to improve native gameplay, and not bring unbalances to the game, is this mod good? I know mods are not perfect, and they have bugs, and things like that, but still. ?

DEI is really good.

^^ As above; try it n see :)

I like it and personally find it a great improvement on the vanilla version. :)

I tried it and I really don't like it. Battles take forever, and as far as I can see, vanilla game was improved a lot with patches. This will be first total war game that I will play without mods it seems :O

Why not try some minor mods, or mod some your self?

I learned to mod just to prevent encounters with level 10 AI agents. Due to the community's complain that the agents/generals die before they get to level 10. I learned to mod the xp to higher level. So your army don't have to be unmoving and dying from poisn.

Or get the no agent mod.

Or the no local tradition mod where you can convert the province to your culture to prevent unhappines.

Or no civil wars mod. Since now multiple civil wars can happen. I got it so I can play without worry about civil war.

These are just some simple mods I use, except the no agent mod, since I modded myself for that "problem".

Really like Vanilla Rome 2 but LOVE DEI. As said above the battles are slower in DEI but it allows for much more tactical play.
The research trees and unit upgrades I personally think are a million times better. The extra factions and units are brilliant and more historically accurate (note I said more, not 100% accurate) It does however emphasize proper supply lines and management of armies, so if you over extend and you get cut off..... you're not going to have a good time. But that's the kind of realism I enjoy
