Hi there. For people who played this back in the day, what unofficial patches or additions would you recommend?

I am thinking of playing the closest to Vanilla as possible, with bug ironing and that is all.

Back in the day I tried the No Alliances patch after completing the game. It made it more interesting when you played the Western countries, as you did not have the units from all the countries at once, but instead depending on the mission. This way you may end up with an assortment of units from different countries. Instead of having only, for example, just M1A Abrams, you could get some Leopard, etc. That is the only thing it does. This makes the game a little bit tougher but more lively IMHO.

Apparently there is a patch that corrects bugs in the movement table. Is that correct? I do not want to change too much appart from straight bugs and maybe unfinished/restored content if there was any. Also, higher resolution if it was possible (most likely not).

Apparently the game is not so rich in equipment mods or campaigns as PGII was, but in this page you can choose some stuff. Honestly I am not fan of any of the changes those new exes or equipments do in this game.

I am more interested i new fan made campaigns made for the vanilla game but apparently there are not any available, only scenarios, a good list. But not sure if they are functional with the vanilla game or 2.0/3.0 mods are needed.

There are also another link for standalone total conversions, a massive list, from romans, napoleonics, to a revision of the WWII with the PeG engine. I believe the links are in the page below.

Thank you! I had no idea about the standalone total conversions, except for the WWII. Interesting!
