I don't mean to ask or anything but do you know of any other mappacks that would go great with this mod?, because playing a Wild West mod in a Techbase-Future Earth environment does not do wonders for immersion.
Epic 2's early and late levels are a good fit as well, but you might wanna wait for the Mauser C96, Gatling Gun, and Maxim Gun are in the mod first, as you're gonna need those weapons on MAP04, Sarcophagus where the pack's first Spider Mastermind is encountered.
EDIT: Just played most of the way through 'Brotherhood of Ruin' with this, and more the C96 Mauser, the Maxim Gun, and the Gatling cannot be finished soon enough for this mod.

Got really lucky on the first of the maps that have a Cyberdemon showed up. I used a secret passage to get a much better attack approach on the cyber where he was lower than me and I behind a berm so his rockets were only impacting against a wall and so I was able knock him upside the head with bundle after bundle of TNT. But even then, it nearly took a full loadout of TNT bundles, hitting Mr. Cybie in the head with most of them, finally drop him!

A few levels later, came across another cyber, this time both of us out in an open area and with no real higher vantage point to get to in a hurry to chuck TNT, and I just straight up quit my game right then and there because I knew my cowboy was about to be smashed to giblets because of the tactical situation and him not having a Maxim or Gatling with him.

Anyway, one critque I can offer for sure is that the 'Reinforced Iron Plate' armor really needs to provide up to 200 points of armor I believe, because right now with only 100 points of armor, the same as the 'Rusted Iron Plate', its really not that much better than the Rusted Iron Plate.
I think the secondary attack for the Lever Action Rifle should be tossing a TNT bundle that you can then shoot to finally blow it up, so you do have a sort of pseudo rocket-launcher.
5+1 reloading on the lever-action shotgun wouldn't be a bad idea either. I also think a single-shot scoped rifle, requiring reloading after every shot but packing a serious wallop, wouldn't be a bad idea for this mod too.
Another nice little idea, that would fit this mod very good too, is one that comes from TrailBlazer: Soul Spheres are randomly replaced by a whisky bottle you can carry that serves to restore your health up to 100, and there could possibly two kinds: regular and a 'Select' bottle, maybe 'Kentucky Red Eye', that take your health beyond 100, up to 200, as a complete Soul Sphere replacement.
