Playing with SFO is so much better than Vanilla

[✪︎DΞ︎AD_iwnw]

In case you don't know, SFO is an overhaul mod that overhauls units, magic, faction mechanics, skill trees, tech, and basically every other aspect of the game. One main thing that I love that it does is that it makes melee infantry not suck. With SFO, my infantry typically gets more kills than my archers.

But in addition to that, other units that kind of suck in vanilla *campaign* (different story in MP) are far better. Case in point being hound units. I've been playing as Drycha for the past few days and I've kept 3 units of wolves and 2 units of cave bats simply because they can get into that back line and cause havoc. Since the start of my campaign, each wolf unit has consistently gotten 200-300 kills per battle and nullifies the enemies ranged advantage.

Drycha early units (especially wolves...) do not need sfo to be super powerful; that's a pretty well known fact around here.

Also SFO being better heavily depends of the way you like to play. To me SFO is terrible.

Seriously OP, let people play what they want. No need to preach about the superiority of one form of play over another.

There is a pretty big split in the community between vanilla fans and modders. And then in the modding community, there are many who don't like SFO.

I mean, in vanilla infantry are ♥♥♥♥. In SFO ranged are ♥♥♥♥.

It’s just different, not better

also, vanilla is balanced fairly well on base difficulty.

CTT is better than all overhaul mods - especially when used together with its sister, mod, Tabletop Caps.

I disagree. I tried SFO and thought the balancing was terrible so I stopped using it right away

factually wrong as sfo is more popular hence it is better

[Kaaz]

popular and better are different things.

So popularity determines what is better? LOL.

I'm happy never going near that dumpster fire of a mod ever again.

It was a statement. Do you get butt hurt over everyone stating their preference or should I just feel special?

I don't play mods that have stolen content in them.
