I spend some time checking many DoW1 mods. They add tons of novelty units, that dont match with others, didnt improve the gameplay ("woah i have 6x angels in tier 3.5") and have lots of bugs.
DoWPro is the only mod that I enjoy, still keep playing, its still in line with vanilla in term of assets and that Im happy to say its improvment over the vanilla.

Mod has easy installer. You just pick DoWPro in Game manager inside Soulstorm and thats it. Works even on multi. No need to do any hacks.
it increase view port a little bit - just right. So the ingame screen scrolling is reduced a lot. And you see much more of the battle.
it has QWERTY keybind which is great. I dont need to memorise key shortcuts.
All changes are documented on tool tips. There is a lab mode map setting, that allow you to check each faction features with instant build time.
There is an improved AI, that is a much bigger challange.
Stats and tech tree adjustment in DoWPro make more units viable to use. There were years of multiplayer updates to balance the factions.
They removed flying units that were shit. Unit limit is more strict, its about 10 pop cap in tier 2.0. But then scale up a bit.
Commnader is much more important and impactful with his skills. Each factions have wargears: choice of 1 of 2 item upgrades that improve your main hero by granting him new abilities. on every HQ upgrade.
f.ex. could get melee charge, or small regeneration.
i played some games on multiplayer for dowPro with few veteran players on discord. I never win any match and im able to beat improved Impossible AI in DowPro.
I dont see any issues with this mod. It very nice tight experience.
DoW1 display damage in odd way, because it didnt take into account different weapons and armor types. So to have a really picture how much damage your units inflict you need to study
damage tables.
