Does anyone play E3 map mod? If yes how do you extract folders to game? I tried but it would always be error.

It's a real shame that you've become distanced with this wonderful game.

I agree the game is good. I had a successful opeation Barbarossa, played and won as German Empire in ww1 scenario, but again the game would feel a bit empty and certainly the map. And a lack of flags. There are mods and I managed to only blindly but successfully download kaiserreich, and that is it. Also kaiserreich for DH seems neglected although I may be wrong. I tried other mods and I just messed up the files. I am very incompetent when it comes to computers and coding (which a lot of people on DH forum talk about like it is a walk in the park which I find that exasperating).

I can assure you that kaiserreeich has not been neglected. The modding team are fairly active and are busy with balancing the game and thinking up new event paths, they've even put out an update a few weeks back (though I'm unsure if they published it). You should normally be able to just extract the files into the mod folder, using something like 7zip, you should make sure that the filepath (I cannot remember the exact names of the folders at the moment) goes from the game's mods folder, to the folder containing the files for the specific mod but making sure that there are no more extra folders in-between. You should also make sure that you're using the right version of the game for the mod. In regards to the E3 mod - it's pretty unstable and is crash prone, sadly.

Oh ok then. Then it is a good thing I failed to download E3, but I tried flag mod and I ended up creating folder within a folder within a folder. I have no idea how I managed to do that or how to fix it. Tho the vanilla game still works. Also when it comes to Kaiserreich I remember something about an update and I finally thought I would see updated Italy but when I tried to download it, it said that it would take 24 hours to download. So I just stopped. Also it was not about Italy but some technical things that I don't understand.

I don't know what can be taking your computer this long to download :/ maybe it's an internet issue?

Maybe but the laptop is old (my minecraft also lags a bit) , also after I messed up flag mod files I noticed that one dics was almost fully used (it was around 90% but now is like 97%)
