Hey, registered here just to ask this.
Is there possible to get vanilla map size or vanilla vegetation back? Im getting unplayable FPS even fighting couple of peasants on i7 GeForce 840m computer with 8gb RAM. Deserts work fine, though.
Everything else works like it supposed to be, thanks for awesome mod.

quote from benchmark site

According to our benchmarks, the GeForce 840M is about 30 percent faster than the old GT 740M and just slightly behind a GeForce GT 750M (DDR3 version). Many games of 2013/2014 can be played fluently in WXGA resolution (1366 x 76 and medium or high detail settings. However, very demanding games such as Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 will require lower resolutions and/or details.

Try a lower resolution and less details
changed scenes to 611 x 611 because of load times, will be in ver 1.2

You can recruit sea raiders, buy a ship, or sell prisoners as slaves at the port

Testing Freelancer:  sea battles still place you in the midst of enemies:

Sorry, the screenshot above was taken BEFORE Ver 1.3.    I should read what's been posted before I post.

I also found in the marketplace that there seems to be a graphics problem with the Heavy Armored Charger.  Only a little showed up in the inventory screen; it does show up OK in other screens.

Spoiler

PS:  My mounted picture was taken with the morning sun shining through the trees.  The horse's armor looks much cleaner in direct sunlight.

Don't know what I'm doing different, but I can travel a week before I need to rest. Resting in camps isn't the best, you want to rest in towns when possible.

Sorry I've been gone.  I made the mistake of upgrading to Windows 10, and I had to completely reboot my computer after it locked up; lost everything and have had to reload everything.  Just got Empire III up again.

Have you studied wandering?  A higher wandering skill helps you make the wandering checks, and get fatigued less often.

This might have been asked before, but are you thinking of implementing/adding upstab with spears?

Haven't installed the mod yet, but it definitely sounds promising.
