I Ranked All Warband Mods I've Played So Far... 

I am not surprised to see perisno be at the top, but what blows my mind is that the hand I lent for something that I think is so small is still intact there…. I am the lore writer for the freelancer guild and I wrote that for them 9 years ago now. It’s truly been an honor to have my name planted within one of Warbands most beloved mods and it still blows my mind to this day.

You will not regret playing Viking Conquest if you like Brytenwalda

Agree on Pendor. It's by far the most polished mod with so much new content but it's also by far the grindiest, most tedious Warband experience I've ever had. Every bit of power takes hours to achieve and while I do think that it's rewarding in theory, the amount of busy work you have to do is just unreasonable. And stuff like "Oh btw after this hour-long battle you didn't get Qualis gem, because the leader escaped btw you can't savescum so better fight another 1000man army" or "There was a red brotherhood quest to get 1 easy gem, but in our recent update we made the chance of getting it after talking to a traveler like 0.001% have fun!" or "We've heard that you could exploit sieges by shooting arrows and retreating so now we've made so a basic tactical maneuver of retreating grants your party -50 morale, -honour, controvery points and everyone hates you" are complete bs that just suck out every single bit of fun to be had in this mod.

Great review. I love Perisno and Pendor, Bannerpage is must for Vanilla. I played more or less everything from the list, but The last days of third age is the best for me. it's just awesome.

Novas Aetas, Light & Darkness: Heroes of Calradia, 16th Century, Gekokujo Daimyo Edition, Age of Sword & Sorcery, Warsword Conquest, World of Vasnar, 1257 A.D Enhanced, Hispania 1200, In the Name of Jerusalem, and the Last Days of the Third Age. These are my top favourite mods of all time. There needs to be more fantasy based mods around the Holy Roman Empire and Renaissance period where the Empire faces many unnatural evil enemies such as the undead, orcs, goblins, vampires and even corrupted humans.

I'd definitely give you praise if you made a guide on Nova Aetas; the mod needs more attention, all i wish is that someone would pick it up to hammer out some game-breaking bugs.

My favourite mod has to be New Dawn, which (among a ton of other changes) adds roaming minor factions that occasionally turn into hordes, take over cities and become real factions. The battles are huge and there's plenty of faction variety too

Fun to see how many mods still use TLD assets. The giant spiders I did expect, the ancient version of our trolls in one of the top picks - I sure did not. Man, that's some true 2009 tech right there. :))

I’d recommend a decent mod called Star Wars Conquest. It’s on Warband. It’s on the steam workshop but it never worked for me through it so I had to manually install it. It’s a pretty good experience if you’re a Star Wars nut (was the first Warband mod I played) and I can say I actually enjoyed it thanks to how large the map is. It’s got a large quantity of planets (though they’re more like one cell like a village) and features an actual active conflict between rebels and the empire, with each side able to take over planets. It’s more like an actual RPG than a battle-centered mod. Solid try in my opinion.

For ne gekokujo is always a win. The siege was awesome with different type of castle and multi layer gates makes your head really thinks hard sometime

I just recently found your videos through your mod reviews on warband and thank you for giving honest reviews and will definitely be trying out most of these mods. Gonna be on the lookout for guide videos for these mods also

Aut ceasar Aut Nihil has to be my favourite mod alongside Perisno and Rising Sun Bakumatsu. The amount of content in AC AN is unbelievable. Joining as a soldier in the Roman legion is so much fun.

This is EXACTLY why I previously subbed. Thanks for another awesome video!

Thanks! I will start with Bones of Ragnvald, then definitely try the Perisno. Keep up doing the good work, peace

it's astonishing how many massive mods there are for this game, each one of those sounded like a whole other game :0 thanks for reviewing! I just got this game a few weeks ago absolutely love it (I know it's over a decade old but you can't beat the classics and it was cheap!)

Great list for finding new mods! My personal favourite is definitely Pendor

It’s a bit surprising that pendor is rated so low. Many of the qualities that you praise perisno for are also present in pendor.

As a Burmese, I played the mod "Suvarnabhumi Mahayuth," and I was shocked by the amount of effort they put into the game. The name of the characters and their relations to others are accurate, and they have awesome dialogues that are historically accurate. I have also tried Perisno, but it was too overwhelming and boring for me.

While you prefer mods that overhaul the setting, I'll still recommend giving Silverstag a look. It's the closest thing I've played to an ideal vanilla+ warband and is probably responsible for a fifth of my 2k+ hours.

A nerd that doesn’t appreciate LOTR..? This world really is turning upside down…

I can 100% agree on this list. Im so happy i found this channel, i found out about new mods thath i didnt now they existed like brytenwolda or Aut Ceasar, such a good mods. I hope for new warband and bannerlord videos

Nice video, sorry that i could not get back to you with some new mods. I think you should keep producing videos on Warband and Bannerlord mods. This community need all around modding channels like what you are doing

The last days and warsword conquest are my favorite mods that I've been playing for years until I started bannerlord. I do agree how you've ranked them and I expected you to rank Perisno as #1

Nice video! A lot of good mods, that I didn’t know.

I agree with Perisno being the first, but Prophesy of Pendor not in top5? Granted it is slow, but ticks all the boxes you set. In my book, Prophesy of Pendor is at least second, if not tied with Perisno for fiest position.

Tyvm for your review it helps a lot

LESSGOOOO FAV MOD IS NUMBER 10 with that aside, there were some mods that looked cool to me, and I thank you for showing some great mods. I'll be sure to play Explorer (What I wanted to make in a dream game but am too stupid to do) and tainted paths because it looks nice.

Gekokujo is legit one of theee best mods it just feels good to play and being a really big japanese history buff I love the atmosphere

If you in a mood for something on native map „A New Dawn” is great mod to try. It is based on the Floris Mod Pack but with harder earlygame and more endgame content. I liked it because in native and floris I feel like I get to steamroll everyone too quickly. Also added minor factions are pretty nice and can be a challenge once they take some settlements.

Missed a major issue with between empires: trenches. the game is at its best when you’ve set up a trench line and are being charged by a huge horde of enemies as you cut them down with artillery and machine guns and the crack of hundreds of rifles. However this usually doesn’t happen. Usually what happens is they’ll dig their own trenches. Cannons and howitzers will do almost nothing against enemies in trenches, same with machine guns, forcing you to either charge them (guaranteed loss unless they either don’t have bolt actions or you have 3x as many troops) or try to set up your own counter trench and pray that they take more casualties than you. There’s no way to get them to leave the trench. The mod is super fun right up until that starts happening.

really like how you have a section for things you can respect, but aren’t for you.

I can see that spice has changed your eyes colors duke 😂😂

damn, I think the last days of the third age is my number one favourite mod, except native and napoleanic wars it's the one I have the most hours in. Interesting it was so low on your list, makes me think I could give the others down there a go.

Been getting into perisno for the first time these last few weeks and it’s a blast. I did super enjoy Pendor, but I also embraced the LONG grind to get endgame OP, and with the sheer volume of stuff you’re reviewing I totally get why you would want to move on😂 Thanks for the list! Pumped to check out Brytenwalde next!

Good stuff bro

I'd highly recommend the ACW revived mod. It just got a massive update too

Might I suggest the independence of chile mod it really should tick a lot of your boxes and I'm surprised you didnt mention it and must tell you the dev of that mord is fast at work for the 5.0 version so you could get into the mod once it launches or even now 4.0 is really good

Suvarnabumi Mahayuth is the goat. My favourite warband mod.

Great list, have you tried Star Wars Conquest? I believe is one of the best mods for sure.

Playing Paradigm worlds multiplayer must feel like the average online game experience from the late 2000s/ early 2010s

YOU DIDNT MENTION "Chronicles of Might and Magic"!!! Thats crazy!!! Thats like one of my favorite with genuine spell book and pictures and spell points!!! And cool system of developing your character past your stats with drops from different dungeons. You can get your stats even like to 60 +

bro i swear to god you are the one who getting me back to this game with your mods suggestions

16th century is jaw dropping. literal dream come true lol

Thanks for this video

Very glad to find recent warband mod videos. I only played warband on PS4 so I'm really excited to finally get some good mods. Thank you for you videos

The Skyrim Civil war mod is like.. unobtainable these days... a golden relic if you will..

my issue with some mods is that they feel too much like native underneath the modded surface , unlike for example medieval conquests which is my fav mod

A little correction here: In the name of Jerusalem, Light & Darkness, 16th Century are also all made by Chinese modders.

American Cival War Revived is the G.O.A.T

Viking conquest is my all time favorite warband exoerience.

Prophesy of Pendor should really be up there. I understand that it’s personal preference, but it’s by far the most polished mod out there.

While watching your video didn't expect Lineage 2 Music but I

Like you my friend, I love story-driven mods. Anything with a good story i'll play for hours at a time. Good list!

16th century mod is overwhelming lmao

Sixteenth-century is great but it's overwhelming it's just a lot

So, I've been looking for a comprehensive list of Warband mods that lists them all in quality, so that I can start at some of the lesser known/lesser quality ones, and work my way up to some of the best, but I couldn't find a good one anywhere... SO, I'll be using your video as my play order!

I for one prefer Prophesy of Pendor because it is the only mod I’ve played that never crashed on my laptop. I’ve tried Perisno and it never worked out - but PoP will always work.

Wow, top 10! Thank you! Yeah, unfortunately crashes are an issue due to the many materials/textures. I hope to reduce them in the future, but I fear they will never truly go away

Just wanna say thanks for introducing me to Perisno, I saw it on one of your videos and man, I am LOVING it!

I highly recommend to try out 457 AD, one of the best Singleplayer mods I ever played. Kind of similiar to Brytenwalda.

Extra comment for the algorithm. Thanks for the hard work sir.

12:50 he forgot to mention how painfully often between empires crashes.

I CANT STOP I HAVE LIKE 10 SAVE FILES I SHOULD FINISH BUT I CANT I JUST WANT TO PLAY SO MANY DIFFRENT ONES

Ah 1257 AD. I remember knocking the Pope unconscious in Italy.

Played Warband on console, years of Vanilla with nothing but a glitch to keep me going (a save where the character had the smoking animation that raided settlements would have, following him around on the campaign map - made for a great RP raider). With 3k hours in Bannerlord now - Bannerpaste and Extended Production are the only ones I really used and considering how long it is since they stopped working, it's fair to say I'm still a vanilla player even on PC. Love the game but still sad at how little love the player Banners have been given. Perisno and Pendor have always been the most fun for me to watch

rising sun also a submod for gekukujo

I’ve never played warband or bannerlord but am very interested, I feel Like I’m going to have a lot of fun.

That's the first time in my life that I've ever heard someone say "I don't like Lord of The Rings". Though you later said that you are a die hard fan of ASOIAF, so I guess it makes sense 😂.

Great vid

What version of Phantasy Calradia do you play? I use V158 from nexusmods and it's... "playable." I've had a few bugs and stuff.

Light Darkness top 1 forever. The best mod in terms of replayability.

Phantasy Calradia quite fun to play, not for serious gameplay. Personally I love Perisno and Gekokujo, its fun and lots of content in the mod.

i see the 16th century is very amazing

Спасибо за обзор! Лучшее, что я видел по варбанд у.

Some big mods that you missed are "Honor & Glory" and "Chronicles of Might and Magic"

I agree with Laigle... it needs more work! I don't really have any favourite mods but I think the rising sun was a mod I spent a lot of time

Did you play the Bannerpage mod? Its a vanilla enhancement more likely.. very very good for those who want a better vanilla-style game.

Me furiously taking notes...

I personally want to know which mod looks the most chaotic during battle. I just want to watch gunfire or explosions happening everywhere

Sou um fã Brasileiro, seu conteúdo é muito bom ! descobri esse game como sendo um dos melhores jogos de estratégia mas foi graças á você que eu me aprofundei mais com os mods. Warband se tornou meu jogo favorito e anda me ajudando muito com o tratamento da minha depressão, minha medica elogiou muito e recomendou uma rotina para o jogo

For me the best mod is AD 1200 ,but its removed. I have played for 1000 hours on it

I thought for sure the third ages would make it. I’ll check out perisno.

I love the mod “Aut Caesar Aut Nihil” I have played and stil played that mod. I don’t know how many hours I have spent on this mod.

Terry terry, you need to play legacy of the dragon, its one of the most understed mods of all time. Check it out bro

Watching this because i want to play all these mods😅

Very unfortunate the lack of love for Paradigm Worlds. A lot of people just see it as a schizo mess of nonsense. That its not supposed to make any sense. But after playing it for years, I got to say there is no other warband mod that holds up. The mechanics take a while to master, but its all worth it. It’s even worth learning about the lore, the story is one of kind, and it all makes sense after a bit of reading on the mod makers timigi website.

457AD is my #1 mod atm worth to check it out

L’aigle could’ve been so amazing if it wasn’t abandoned. My hopes are still high for between empires because what it offers is unlike any other mod. but at the moment it is borderline unplayable with how frequent the crashes are.

I loved Perisno but there are glaring balancing problems that makes the whole experience miserable. Getting oneshot and dealing 0 damage unless you only use bows and fat two handers is not ok.

You should rank factions in the future, or units!!!

Looking at the shaders, how the f did you get 16th century working with WSR? I get spammed with ”...has left part” messages every second if I try to run it with WSR2 :(

Perfectttt

Is there any mods that you can respawn after die in battle, or maybe control another troop?

I love Perisno. I wonder when we might get more factions since the map seems to have empty places in the near edges. A man can hope.

i just wish that perisno had a (balanced) firearm in the game thats what im desperately missing in that mod

thanks

Who is the better GoT mod ? A clash of king or A World of ice and fire ?

Hey, I just got the 16th Century mod after watching this video, I was hoping to play as an aztec but I don't see it as a starting option, any advice?

Thanks for the review ❤️, I'll definetly try Perisno, looks awesome , I also recommend Try Age of Arthur , it's an awesome mod 👌

Perisno: The Zann have come O_O
