It's been an age since I played AoW: SM. Can you suggest me good mods for a new single player campaign playthrough?

exe hack, mechanics changed a lot. There is also the unofficial patch, which would be the only other 'mod' i would inflict on myself with AoW:SM, because it's creatures are not out of place unlike.... well most every other mod, and is a baseline of the intended mod for most maps.
Actually, i never tried the MP ev patch so i'm not sure if it requires the UP too.
edit: yes it does.

To install and use you need to install the unofficial patch 1.5, then install the installer from twitter on top THEN (unlike the UP) you need to re-save all map files you want to play (including the main campaign if you want that) on their new map editor (open the map file, save, exit). Not the most user friendly.
edit: use the new execs to both save the maps and to play!

BTW, AoW2:SM suffers from a 'mouse/keyboard lag' that gets worse on faster machines if the graphic card can't keep up. The actual underlying reason is that the game loop was badly miscoded and the 'game time' is getting out of sync with the rendering of the graphics (game loop doesn't care that graphics card is still drawing) OR because the graphics card is either saying 'ok, everything's fine' while it's actually still rendering (shitty drivers).
In both cases the effect is that the driver is buffering frames the game is sending to display later - So the mouse events (and indeed, everything that happens on the screen) is about 1-3 seconds delayed, depending on your CPU/GPU speed ratio.
So the cpu can be too fast for the game! Hope the guy fixes that crap. Non-code workarounds include slowing down the cpu (lol)
