I've made over 300 mod spotlight videos and through them I've experienced a huge amount of modded Total War gameplay from OG Rome to Medieval 2 to Shogun 2 to Thrones and everything in between. I decided the other day how fun and interesting it would be to run through all of the mods I've played in a video!
So today I go through the Moddb pages and Steam Workshops of all the historical games between Rome and Thrones to tell you about the many many mods I've played, (I'm sure I've forgotten a few here and there) and the ones I've heard about being good that I've yet to cover and give you as in depth a recommendation of mods for each one!
In a time where Total War is going through some rough seas it's nice to look back and find all of these massive mods you may want to try again or go into a game's mod scene for the first time to see what new exciting adventures await you. I hope this video has been a guide to you finding some of those adventures!
I hope you enjoyed this video and found it informative. If you did give it a like and drop any thoughts or questions in the comments section below.

Happy 40k Subscribers! Woop! You guys are amazing, so as a thank you I thought I'd make this ultimate guide of all the mods I've played. There's a few I've just noticed I definitely missed already, Demetrios Poliorketes and Hellenika on Rome 2 to name a couple haha. But yeah really hope you enjoyed it and found it informative. And I'd love to see your comments on any mods you think I need to spotlight next!

@arnodorian6192 8 месяцев назад

for shogun 2 master of strategy gives undoubtedly the best campaign experience. You have to conquer japan with small army and the mechanics are so challenging that it will make you wanna cry. I am sure it has the best battle ai and the ai is always active using different strategy and the cavalry always try to hide in the forest and flank your army. oh and the campaign ai is so aggressive and active you will get atleast 4 daimyo dead messages just in 2 turns. the factions are always conquering each other and making new alliances while if they sense their allies growing too big then they break alliances and I am talking about npc factions doing it to npc factions unlike the vanilla which always focuses on the player faction. basically if you want challenging mechanics,units and most importantly AI then the mod is for you.

@SubZero589 7 месяцев назад

Great video, really useful to someone who is new to using the mods as it can be a little overwhelming and a lot of trial and error to work out whats good and what mods work together. What would be helpful is a video on each game with a recommended set up of best mods that work together based upon your experience. Maybe choose a major overhaul and then smaller improvement mods for us to try out. Keep the videos coming, we need this while we wait for CA to sort themselves out and provide a game worth purchasing.

@Smenkhaare 7 месяцев назад

I totally agree. A major overhaul mod with other mods that work with them. Right now I am engaged in a lot of trial and error.

@tswims92 8 месяцев назад

Victoria Total War was a mod that had a ton of promise but sadly died due to lack of time and the modding team being so small. At the end it was essentially the original guy working on it. But he was kind enough to announce the mod was no longer being worked on instead of just leaving it ambiguous. Had a good run for like 10 years though.

In Attila, I love playing Fireforged Empire, MK 1212 and Age of Justinian. Also, Voodoo has incredible reskin mods for Attila like Dux Bellorum, Sons of Calgacos, Imperium Barbarorum (I think they are HD reskin mods). And in Thrones og Britannia, I must say that the mod Conquest: 1066 Campaign does a great job in bringing at least some variaty in the game.

I was already using DMS, and didn't think it could get any better. And then, you introduced Samurai Strongholds. What a fantastic improvement to game play; just tried it ... only L1, just a quick new campaign test. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 8 месяцев назад

Medieval 2 is the king imo. that's where the modding scene really bloomed. I mean damn. all the settings. From fantasy like Lord of the Rings, Warhammer, and the crazily well done Zelda mod (Just song mining that mod was a gem), to medieval mods for settings like the Balkans in 1345, Renneiscance italy, untold numbers of just reworked base game mods. And the more modern mods like Lucium which has Europe from 1700 and South America in 1819!!! And theres always more coming!!! I need to check out the historical Insularis Draco mod and I just have to get around playing the Wrath of the Norsemen mod again. I just love Vikings and there are like 3 top notch viking mods out there for Medieval two and a bunch more feautring them.

@stevencass8849 7 месяцев назад

With OG Rome, my favorite two mods are The First Triumvirate, and a simple vanilla mod called Vanilla RTW. It adds two settlements to the map, rearranges starting positions so that Carthage and the Seleucid Empire survive longer, and banishes the Britons to Britannia so they don’t take over the map all the time, as well as got rid of purely fantasy units like Urban Cohorts. It was a great mod, that I’d love to see ported to Rome Remastered. I just don’t have the skill or time to do it myself.

Hi, as a big fan of your channel, i will do some small PR here for myself, as i´ve saw my icon in mods of RR: "Glory of Rome Remastered" released version 0.1. the public first release focus on groundworks for bigger map + factions, religions, units and new statsystem for more ballanced battles, some mechanics, animations, +scripts and alot more smaller stuff, like UI and BI mechanics - but i´m currently working on 0.2, which is focusing on polishing the map further (redone all resources, faction starting behavoir, mercenary pools, some more +regions - about 720 atm + hordesettlements, ), added alot of new diverse buildings (have some previews public for roman factions, greek satrap like factions and punic governments), added some additional (missing) factions like syracuse and reworked alot in general like bugfixes, reworked rome faction concept, some starting positions, horde mechanics from BI and units + recruitment. If you like, check it out

Wars of the Gods mod... the diplomacy is horrible. I play as Meroe, Axum and/or Blemmyes and I get war declarations from half way across the map from unmet cultures. Also as Meroe and Blemmyes I get attacked from every direction from Egypt, from the south by Axum, from the east by the Nabateans and/or the Himyar. The Seleucid's then jump in on me for further spanking. Also the economy is really restricted so to have more than one army (you will need more than one big one by turn 5 at least) is really problematic. I gave War of the Gods a good run for its money but was never able to finish a campaign.
