For singleplayer no.
Multiplayer HELL YES.
So I installed some mods and the impact was noticable.
The game turned from horses&kinda big fights into horses&giant fights.
Oh and it improved some textures I guess hmph.
Okay so let me explain fighting in M&B. First you charge at the enemy for about 2 minutes untill you find them setting up some dumb line.
Then you charge balls first into the enemy army, spamming your shit around.
Eventually your cavalry will get there and help and also die a lot.

Then the cavalry will try to chace down the deserters for about 20 minutes.
Then you win
Wait what infantry?
Archers?
