BEST Historical Mods For WARBAND

[@kiber162]

10/10 would warband again.

[@CultOfSol777]

As long, as there are no mods like this for Bannerlord , I like to go back to Warband . It got everything, Roman Era, a lot of Greek/Hoplite mods, Dark Age, Viking Era, Medieval Age, Gun Powder Age up to first world war. What I think I haven't seen yet is a mod based around ancient Egypt or Sumeria. Imagine a mod, where you choose a Tribe like Hunter Gatherer, Farmer and so on. Or Bronze Age. That would be interesting as well.

[@theo1856]

There is a bronze age one that has loads of unique assets. Only problem is they don't really have a good scripter so the game is too buggy to even finish.

[@CultOfSol777]

[@ryndillblackfyre7793]

Very good ranking in my opinion, you basically got all the mods I knew for these periods as well as a couple more. The only mod I would suggest is "Honour & Glory" which is basically set around the same timeline as wfas (actually a bit earlier if I remember correctly) and also in eastern Europe just with more factions and some very nice features and ideas. Still, great video and hope you are succesful in making youtube your job!

Another mod that I recommend is Deeds of Arms and Chivalry. It is an another mod set in the hundred years war and has a very large map of France similar to Hispania 1200 and has got amazing castles and scenery. I have tried many Warband mods but this mod has had the best scenery I had ever seen. It is still active btw.

[@ravages6892]

You will like the next version even more! Many new scenes (like 30) are ready since long long time... Mont Saint Michel, Paris, Angers, Dijon and many many more! The last version from 3,5 years ago was stable but far from finish, i'm still surprise so many people enjoy it. Some of scenes for towns were shared by the mod team of "Rus 13th century Way of the Warrior", big thanks to them; a really awesome mod that should be in this list.

i really liked this ranking ive been following you ever since your first ranking video and every video always sparks that warband obsession again i hope your sucessful in your youtube career

[@I_just_I_is_the_best]

I am trying for world dominance in 16th century mod, and you are absolutely correct, it doesen't add many mechanics but due to the size of the world it's more of a content mod with a lot of scenery and armor. Yet faction's soldiers are still simmilar in stats which makes them quite boring to fight against, but i think there is very little room before breaking the balance. Other than that there is quite a few fun things in it.

[@TerryDuke]

It would be great though if it was used as a canvas for another mod that aimed fo add more features!

[@Soloitforsmth]

Awesome video, it's kinda rare to see people making video about warband.

[@fritzVirginSteeler]

I don't know if it's still alive (doubt it) but Vikingr was an amazing multiplayer mod, with a small but very dedicated community. It was extremely well researched and continuously refined with new additions. The occasional events, in which you had to fight in formation, were jawdropping! I miss it so much!

[@apnuodijasyraduhas]

Amazing content , man! I've honestly been searching far and wide for a channel that does this sort of Warband mod reviewing. Extremely glad to see all the hard work that's been put in the seemingly endless amount of Warband mods getting some well deserved love, in depth analysis and amazing no b s reviews!

[@TerryDuke]

Wow, thanks! Got plenty more on my channel, enjoy 😉

[@Uvatha.]

Thank you for the ranking ! I personally think that Adventure in the east couldbe considered as a "dark age" mod, as it technically happens after antiquity , introducing the Rashidun Caliphate Overall i agree with you ! I would like to play them all again but i'm in lack of time unfortunately thanks again for the video

[@TerryDuke]

I actually googled the end of the antiquity period vs the year AITE is set, and technically it works, though again, my time periods are simplified. Hope you get more play time!

[@teIemay]

You're technically right, but the Dark Ages is a term for European History. The circumstances in the middle east were different as the two empires, namely the Eastern Romans and the Persians were still around, preserving most of the existing technologies and institutions. Not to say that it was perfect, considering how devastating the last Roman-Persian war was, but it's still categorized separately by most scholars in the field. It technically doesn't belong to late antiquity, but it has more to do with it than the medieval category.

[@Uvatha.]

Indeed , thanks guys ! Yeah , i also hope i get more play time , i wish i had some lol

[@LeirTheFox]

Amazing work! After your channel I just put tons of hours into warband modding. This will surely add more hours to the count!

[@InfamousAsh]

since after (about 3 or 4 days ago) I watched this video I've been Playing "Adventure in the East" btw I'm Iranian (Ancient Persians) and boy isn't this mod super accurate and fair to my country's history! everything from the name of the Lords to the Music and History facts! I gotta say this is literally the best experience of Ancient Persia in any full game of any genre i've ever played (ofc there are not many games centering around Ancient Persia) but also aside from these generally the mod feels good to play it has such a unique vibe! Thanks for sharing these Mods with us Terry! much appreciated man!

[@TerryDuke]

Yeah, one thing I was worried about was not having mods for every culture, but europe and the middle east are fairly easy to find. Glad you enjoy the mod! 😃

[@InfamousAsh]

@@TerryDuke btw I realised that there is not a mod set in Ancient Egypt so I searched for it and there is actually one called "WotG Wrath of Egypt" but it is kind of in early access since 2017! would love to know your opinion about that specific mod!

[@Ptvurdu7880]

Keep going bro

[@weiweizhang8036]

Try 12th century. This mod has a map from Greek Balkan in the west to China in the east. It includes historical factions across these areas in 12th century including crusade states, Byzantium, and Muslims. The core feature of the mod is that it adds a strategic pass systems which blocks both AI and Player movement through historically significant passes and fortresses.

[@TerryDuke]

Great video! I've discovered a lot of really good mods thanks to your channel and it made me to start playing warband again few weeks ago. Got this little "nostalgia hit" :D that made me revisit the game. When it comes to mods I'd like to suggest a few. Maybe You would like to check them out? Or just asking if You know any of them? :) 1. Rus 13th Century: Way of the Warrior - I haven't played it in a while honestly but it's historical mod set in Eastern Europe during times of Mongol Invasions. I remember playing it mostly in M&B (not warband, the older one xd although I also played a bit in warband) and it was one of my favourites back them (one of the reasons was beautiful maps, cities were just MASSIVE). 2. The Eagle and the Radiant cross - it's like native but in renesance. I mostly remember guns, guns and more guns xd That was probably a favourite one of my father, mainly because of the guns, we played M&B together on our own computers xd 3. Lords and Realms - I am not sure if this one is available for warband but I had quite some fun in old M&B - overhaul for native. I especially liked the music, new soundtrack, and a lot of different mercenaries, custom troops. If it's not available then it's just a little fun fact that "there was such a mod".

[@TerryDuke]

Thank you! I don't know these mods but I wrote them down for future content.

[@АлексейИзрюмов]

About gun era mods: you can try mod 1812 Russian campaign (Отечественная война 1812 года in Russian). It is similar to the L'Aigle, but focused on war at Russia. Mod has good uniform of armies of this age and extremely beautiful scenes of Russian provincial towns (I say as Russian), but for the capitals - Moscow & S.-Petersburg - this scenes do not fit. Also I have tried mod 1794 Kosciuszko uprising about Poland at the end of 18 century. It is unusual and includes new scenes and mechanics. This is story mod, but as I could understand you can fight only for Poland here. Also I think this mod needs in rework with some details and I found it is a bit hardcore now. P.S. Sorry, if I forget or mistake some rules on English while writing. I know English, but have not a lot of language practice.

[@Rynewulf]

Perisno and Prophecy of Pendor both have slower, tougher starts and progressions like Brytenwalda. Viking Conquest dlc is also similar, but the former are two quite different fantasy mods and VC is quite similar to Brytenwalda. There's also a Roman era submod to Brytenwalda too, which is pretty hard because although you can choose to start with custom elite Roman units theres a very limited Roman recruitment area, but the Celtic tribes are divided and very different styles of soldiers to the heavily armoured Romans
