#2 I'm seeing the same mis-matched buildings that the other user mentioned
#3 Call me greedy, but is there any way you could make the SPLs for some of these units available. I feel dignified in asking for this mostly because many units of mine were used int his mod too, so I say "share the wealth" as I have done previously ;)
#4 So happy to SEE my units in this mod. I'm glad other people liked them enough to use them. :) |

I like this mod. I habitually play my own portable and I wonder if you will continue working on it. This very well. Congratulations.
P.D.: Sorry, i only speak a little bit of english. |

The Crusades Mod, either the original for the Conquerors, or this new one, is brilliant. It is perfect for a wide variety of scenarios. If the creator adds unique buildings sets, or just changes some of them, it could be one of the best mods for Age of Empires.
Quality/Instructions: 5.0
The technology tree is excellent and writing is also very well done. Some things need to be patched over, such as original unit names coming through, but these are just minor gripes. This is a fantastic mod.
For future updates I would like to see some custom campaigns in a similar to vein to the ones done by Age of Chivalry and possibly even The Forgotten. If that is a possibility...
