Usefulness/Novelty
Usefulness - 4
This mod is, as the author says, mostly an inside joke. It's not extremely useful, aside from some very specialized scenarios. Including English language files is a step up from the first version in this category. With the expansion to 5 civilizations and multiple new units and technologies, as well as new buildings and editor objects, this conversion could actually be used for a number of scenarios and/or campaigns revolving around pretty much anything Vampire-related.
Novelty - 5
This is definitely a very unique piece. I can honestly say I've never seen a mod like this before and I found it very fun to see all the ideas Khan Ivayl had and put in this work.
Quality/Instructions
Quality - 4.5
This is now, after many updates, quite a good mod. The only things holding this back from a 5 rating is that there are still some minor bugs. Overall though, they are small enough not to detract form the xperience of the game. A few anchors are still a little off (much better than before, however), and there are a few language edits that could be made (ie, language files still reference "Monks" instead of "Witches."). Overall though, the quality of the work that has been done makes these small problems almost insignificant.
In terms of the data and language files, I was pleased by how thoroughly the author replaced the Aztecs and Mayans. The computer opponent names are replaced, the ages have been renamed, and data edits were made to better fit the new units while still remaining balanced.
Instructions - 4.5
In my book, an custom installer is the best thing that can happen to a mod. It makes it absurdly easy to install, and assuming there's an uninstall as well, easy to remove when you're done. No file-shifting is needed and a first-time mod user can use it. The only thing holding this back is that after using the uninstall, I was missing a couple of the intro music when starting a RM game (Huns, Korean, and Spanish), and the Mayan and Aztec intros were the Vampire/Werewolf versions. This is, again, a very minor problem and is not, in my eyes, a glaring problem.
Usefulness/Novelty - 4.5
Quality/Instructions - 4.5
Overall: 4.5
In summary: This is a fun modpack, and compared to earlier versions, is a vast improvement. I highly recommend downloading this if you're planning on anything that has to do with Vampires and Werewolves. I especially loved the Headless Dracula and new wolves (I find the blueish gray a much more appealing color than the greenish color they have in the original AoK). In short: Download. Play. Enjoy.[Edited on 12/29/11 @ 05:06 PM]

EDIT: The Mod has been fixed with regard to data-editing rejection by the c patch![Edited on 12/29/11 @ 11:59 PM]

It's probably a masterpiece for Vampires' fans.
You ultimately change the Mayan and Aztec style with the Dracul Clan and the Vrikolak.The houses',churches',any building's design is appropriately changed--even the trees,the sheep and the turkeys!
The installation is very easy due to the installation utility,so there's nothing weird for it.
The only disappointing thing in all this is the restriction to only 2 civilizations.If there were more,the mod would hit the headline.
Additional Comments:
Very good mod pack,no bugs as far as i've seen and no problem during the installation.Well done,maintain the good job. |

to use an inappropriate analogy, it's like downgrading Mona Lisa for being only 77X53 cm :) |

@Khan Ivayl,
I hope you don't mind but I have taken the liberty to update your title and game description to make it a little more legible, but without losing your original message.[Edited on 10/08/11 @ 08:58 PM]
