What's good these days?

You want the TDM Modpack, which does nothing but add a few new formations and heavily improve the AI. No new techs or anything.

Ok, I'll give it a go. Thanks!

Invasion! is a good new mod, not very good AI right now but there are some spaces left in the Invasion! 2nd Wave PBW game.

AI Campaign has a great AI and it is very hard to beat. The Last se4 update v1.91 has slowed the human players expansion and strengthened the AI now to the point it is hard to beat even at low ai bonus. JLS and the gang are working on the balancing the new v1.91 se4 update to the AIC so the AI is not as powerful. AIC v5.0 should be ready in a few days.

Second to that. AIC is IMHO the best mod for sole play. It is though different from default SE and may not be to your liking because of slow build-up but still, give it a chance !

AIC mod - is it compatable w/say the TDM mod? that is will they screw each other up if I try to install both?

I've also been gone a long long time and keep trying to talk myself back into playing again... been reading a very nice AAR of SEIV over at FOF forums and it's got the old juices flowing again.

also, is the AIC Mod for the old SEIV or is it for SEIV Gold... I'm an old fart who is still running SEIV non-gold...

As long as you install every mod into it's own subfolder, you can't use more than one at a time. They will not screw each other up. Make sure to NEVER install a mod into the stock data files. The only exceptions are mods such as the Image Mod, which just adds new graphics and does not alter any stock ones (other than the minis file, which it adds to at the end).

AIC would not be possible in pre-Gold SE4. It relies upon a lot of features that were added in Gold.

You can find several pre-Gold mods over at SE.net in the downloads section.
