DAC v5 vs DAC v4.6 with AGO

[Alpha Lima Mike]

Self explanatory as the sub, I literally bought this game to play LOTR submod DAC. So, there is two option for me, DAC v5 released last year or DAC v4.6 but with AGO. I am a TATW MOS vet, played the hell out of it. So, to maximize my experience as well touching every single features as I can experience, should I go for DAC v5 or DAC v4.6 with AGO. Thanks in advance. :)

Dac v5 + EUR. Expanded unit roster. Add's the balrog back among a few things that really made the original third age fun.

Ago has surely the best backlog and fewest bugs of all DaC versions, main DaC and DaC-EUR will surely get better in future and fix their bugs but this will still take a while.

Thanks for your reply, did exactly this. Looked around and stumbled upon EUR. Playing as Northern Dunedain now in VH/VH and man that's an absolute blast. The first 60 turns were so punishing yet extremely rewarding, it felt amazing. Thanks for the reply though. :)

Thanks for your reply buddy, went for DAC + EUR and now having an absolute blast. Planning to try DAC 4.6 with AGO after this campaign. Thanks for your reply though. :)

Np mate, i played all the mod's for third age including third age 1.0 and i think EUR is the most fun i had. But like Mekkermann said it might not be the most balanced or stable (although i have yet to experience a crash) I had one end turn bugg once and that was in Dac v5 with a unit that somehow spawned in a location that caused it to infinitely move so that should be somewhat universal as dac v5 is the base. Incase that happens you can fix it by checking the faction that get's stuck and moving their characters with the move console command. Im also playing the Dunedain and i agree its somewhat harder now as i think the evil factions have more of a chance. This does however create a problem in the south with gondor vs mordor sometimes getting steamrolled so early it creates a snowball effect. Other than that i think EUR is great. That is as we speak getting balanced tho.
