Sorry, I may have asked this before, but I can't keep track of things longer (17 pages in the AoW+ thread alon)...but there's two recent AOW1 mods that rebalance the game, isn't it? AOW+ and?
Anyway, which one is recommended for single player? I'm not really interested in that illusive "balance", but in anything that enhances the AI and evens the playing field somewhat.

For single player, I recommend And G's AoW+. For multiplayer, I recommend Southern's Sword & Sorcery mod. I have my own ruleset too but it's meant for the upcoming "Common Bespoke Downgrade" mod that you can read about on this forum.
