Hmmm. I am not a fan of modded games but here goes:
The unique units were OK cruiser, M48, other types of tanks, etc.
Riflemen had attack of 5, infantry attack of 8. I did not like this mod. No way should the offensive and defensive power be so close IMO. This reduces the value of cannons and artillery, making it easier for offense.
Modern Infantry attack at 10 and defend at 14. This was an interesting unit but it killed the upgrade of infantry to mech infantry. If you allow the modern infantry to upgrade to mechanized this mod would be OK.
Guerillas attack at 7. This is not a bad mod.
Fascism was a new government. This is a very powerful government, eliminating war weariness and allowing always war without the penalties associated with despotism. The only drawback was inability to pay gold to rush improvements. The AI doesnt really know how to use it well, as they generated a bunch of extra cash and did not know what to do with it. Overall this is a good government for PTW though too powerful for me.
It was a little strange when my advisors referred to me as fuehrer.
Republic was also modded to have some free unit support. This was handy but republic is already a good government for vanilla civ and PTW. I am not sure it needs help.
If you need help beating the AI at the next level these mods might be good, but not for me.
Of course I had no idea the game was modded when I started it. I played it to see if I could restore the glory of a falling empire, which I succeeded in doing with a serious effort. It was a good challenge thanks for posting it.
I have played the game further, eventually taking the entire continent for the Aztecs, being the first to SDI, and subsequently nuking France. I was curious to see if I could reach domination by 2050, with France having so much power. I am pretty sure I can crush them though it will probably take longer than 2050. It is around 2015, Frances core cities are swimming in nuclear pollution, and I am preparing an invasion force. I will drop a city in a gap somewhere using a GL to rush the airport.
Right now that effort is shelved in favor of getting more playing time on deity. Not sure if I will pick it up again.
