Usefulness/Novelty: 4.5
This mod is very good. This mod allows the player to create a unique set of units for same region or religion such as Iraqis, Egyptians and Seljuks,etc. It really medievalizes the game to crusade period. The best thing I saw in this is the creating of unique units from stables, monastries and castles. It is one my favorite mods. The use of mercenary camp allows mercenaries to be recruited.A little more work can make it more perfect.
Quality/Instructions: 5
It is a good quality mod and features the states and civilizations which took part in the crusades.
Once fully organized it can compete with Age of Chivalry and TOME.
The mod comes with an installer which helps to new players where and how to install the mods.
