THESE 5 MODS TURN MEDIEVAL 2 INTO SOMETHING AMAZING! - Total War Mod Spotlights

[@falconflyer317]

I am badly wanting a remaster of Medieval 2 that will allow the game to run better and to be modded through workshop. If there's any way for you to put pressure on CA and Feral to do that or to find out if they are, that'd be awesome!

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Haha not sure i can pressure them but I’d love that too! I’m sure Feral will do it though :)

[@mdokuch96]

Feral already are doing it for Android and Apple mobile devices. This is how Rome Remastered was done, so I think, we would see Medieval 2 Remastered more or less soon.

[@fungunsun1]

I am quite sure its already in development

[@sirguilhaume1964]

As long they keep the U.I off the original game, i really want a remaster

[@truffelnootje]

So wholesome that I didn’t read a single argument in this comment subsection, only people agreeing about total war ❤

[@schawty]

SSHIP is an absolute BLAST. Brought me back to Medieval 2 and I spent more than 100 hours on my last campaign.

[@lhdl3870]

Nowdays try Roar of conquest. It was like it but without the annoying scripts taking money of You on every turn

[@kenc9236]

I am hoping for Med 3. Awesome video TT. Keep up the good work.

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Thanks bud! Me too :)

[@hardywatkins7737]

I heard 'Legend of total war' recently say that he'd heard something that suggests a Medieval 3 is in the works, but it's still a few years away.

[@benfromthesewers1688]

oh look it's our mod! as someone whos working on lucium, this older public version looks so bad to me but am happy that people enjoy it. Nice video! ❤

[@rtsgod]

oh you've got a newer version incoming?! and great job thank you so much!

[@benfromthesewers1688]

@@rtsgod ofc we also post leaks in discord

[@godfreyofibelin301]

I have been on an Anglo-Saxon Britain / pre Kingdom of England KZbin docu binge recently and I’m really excited to try out Insularis Draco! I had not heard of this mod yet! I still have yet to pick up ToB so seeing this video made me pumped! Thank you, for all of your hard work. You do great things for the TW community!

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Enjoy! :)

[@underarmbowlingincidentof1981]

Medieval 2 mods are just amazing. from elder scrolls to Warhammer, from ww1 to the bronze age... scandinavian focused mods, chinese, south america. EVERYTHING just love it

[@СтефанТвртко]

Italian Wars for 16 century warfare. Most underrated mode for sure. The most underrated era too.

[@phunkracy]

Tsardoms Total War od imho better

[@hannibalburgers477]

I thought that mod was abandoned

[@immasword]

5:Tzardoms total war 4:Thera Redux 3:Begining of the end times 2:Elder Scrolls total war 1:Divide and conquer Other great mods Rise of three kingdoms Warcraft total war Hyrule total war Mods that can be great after a few more updates Ireland total war India total war Faerun total war Calradia total war Diciples total war Silmarilion total war One ruler on earth total war

[@UndergrowthTCG]

Third age DAC is amazing, since seeing your video on insularis draco iv not been able to leave the game alone lol it blows thrones ot of the water. Gotta say aswell I d love stainless steel and ES total war. There is also a Dragon age total war still in development or there was anyway which looked amazing

[@tyler3201]

Been waiting for a castle building/customizing mod.

[@lhidalgo7243]

nice video and tastes all along, but I was really sold when you mentionned bulat and mostly Tzardoms at the end^^ Even from the beta versions , i was amazed by the ambition and stability of Tzardoms, this mod is glorious in all aspects!

[@rtsgod]

Tzardoms was good but crashtastic for me

[@olegchernyak1741]

Yeah, now we are talking! Wholeheartedly agree on the first place, both as TW and Tolkien fan ) Should have mentioned the Warhammer one though, it's so massive and good.

[@ZrKn_]

I need the next total war to be Medieval 3!!! The modding capabilities could be amazing

[@lvcaslemos]

My top 5 mods for Medieval II Total War: 1. Stainless Steel - most precisely the SSHIP 2. Europa Barbarorum II 3. Chivalry II The Sicilian Vespers - five eras campaign (Dark Age, Early, High, Late and Renaissance) 4. Third Age - Massive Overhaul Submod (MOS) and Divided & Conquer 5. Insularis Draco

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Nice list :)

[@lvcaslemos]

@@TheTerminatorGaming and I don't mencioned the Tsardoms...

[@Dorrzo]

I missed lategame medieval 2 so much I re-bought it and kingdoms on steam yesterday. I never really got into playing stainless steel back in the day so I'm doing that now. I never managed to reach late tech in medieval kingdoms 1212 without completely dominating. thanks for the video I think ill try all the mods mentioned.

[@LichlordKazam]

My favorites: 1: Bulat steel 2: Third age divide and conquer 3: Tsardoms total war 4: Warcraft tw 5: Elder scrolls tw Honorable mentions: Broken crescent The last kingdom With fire and sword 2

[@jpne781]

Thanks for this! I have just found my old disc and kingdoms disc looking forward to playing with some of these Mods.

[@AngryHistorian87]

2 mods that deserve an honorary mention: Broken Crescent & Eras Total Conqeust.

[@hardywatkins7737]

I'm playing the 'kingdoms grand campaign mod' ... originally by 'Pike' and updated by Gigantus and Delphor at TW Center. It's really good and stable ... no crashes. It has a bigger map, lots more regions cities and includes all the factions from the expansions in the main campaign. It's the only mod with a larger map that actually plays well on my laptop. I highly recommend it. It's better than Vanilla beyond. ( i tried that one).

[@bigsky1047]

lmao loved how you name dropped planet total war at the end there. "unforgettable" is one way to put it.

[@臺伯留]

The musket in Lucium mod is just so awesome (the sound is really good) EB2 is my favorite mod for now, trying to install Stainless steel now But my English is not good enough for playing mods, so many texts I have to take even more time than playing games (X)

[@rtsgod]

double-check, there's sometimes translation submods

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

Fantastic video Maybe make a video of upcoming mods for Med 2? There's some really good ones in the horizon!

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Hell yeah! :)

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

@@TheTerminatorGaming please cover Dragon Age TW and there's a new Hyrule Mod as well Could you also make a video on Bulat Steel - I been wantingto try it Maybe also make a video on the best custom cities in Med 2 mods as well!

[@Seosaidh1]

Great video! Looking forward to the same top 5 for the other games. Keep up the good work :)

[@dukesagami9974]

Roar of Conquest deserves a spot and does better than stainless steel, no crashes, stable mod. Reworked unit details are absolutely stunning. The pikes and musket formations are top tier and smooth.

[@bc7138]

It's a shame that Steam still hasn't put up a Modding Workshop for Medieval 2.

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

Yeah they really should.

[@tyler3201]

Got ME2 back when it came out. My moms computer could barely play it. Endless hours of fun.

[@latewizard301]

Didn't even know about Vanilla Beyond... it's literally the mod i've been asking about, because i want to play norway in the vanilla campaign.

[@lhdl3870]

Lucium and Europe barbarorum are like a big DLC content, maybe even a whole game themselves

Tsardoms and stainless steel for me battle it out for number one. Kingdoms grand campaign is a great old standard I'd put 3rd. Then probably broken crescent and eb2. Need to try lucium total war and insularis. It's sad Deus lo vult seemed to stop development and all under heaven never finished.

[@srdjanvitorovic5795]

I had been enjoying DAC submode gor TATW for 5 years straight..still play sometimes...

[@DarkFilmDirector]

The Great Conflicts, Ruischi, and Dominion of the Sword were the most groundbreaking of Medieval 2 mods, imo

[@AdmiralSpaceballs]

Tzardoms truly is a bad ass mod .At the same time alien , exotic and new but firmly medieval 2 . Shame i cant get it to run on my laptop on full screen without crashing

[@dietricklamade7417]

Great video, I've been playing alot to ToB lately without mods and it needs alot but it is one of the most challenging games with the food, recruitment, politics and seasonal conditions

[@shaheer_ghazi]

My top 5 favorite Medieval 2 mods are: - Tsardoms Total War - Stainless Steel Historical Improvement Project (SSHIP) - Third Age Total War Divide and Conquer (DaC) - Broken Crescent - Third Age: Reforged

[@arthurie17]

I’ve heard from one of the modders that there’ll be a new SSHIP update in early december. Keen to try it out

[@rtsgod]

WAAAHHH THAT'S AMAZING!!!!

[@Adino1]

Those other mods look sweet, especially the Vanilla expanded one. But I'm going with Stainless Steel, again.

[@Mer-Man-Man]

you missed Broken Crescent

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

I gave it an honorary mention :)

[@JALCO13]

SSHIP is the best historical mod for medieval 2! Pretty historical and challenge with many factions

[@anathardayaldar]

My fav M2TW mod, other than 3ATW/DAC is Falcom. Its map includes the entire world except for West coast North America. So I like to play the mongols and sweep the world to conquer the Americas. Unfortunately the map does not loop so noone can go east over the pacific to the Americas.

[@fatrat92]

2:09 First Nation peoples invading Europe sounds dope, I'd play that campaign. Pull a reverse Columbus.

[@FractionOfThUniverse]

Rage of the dark gods, Warhammer fantasy mod

[@smolpp585]

my fav is the Elder Scrolls mod

[@xdeser2949]

Third Age DaC is probably the best lotr game that exists at all at the moment.

[@NinjaSushi2]

Could you imagine if they had a Terminator character in this game as a joke that went back in time to fuck up all the factions.

[@RandomWitcher]

I want to recommend 2 great mods based on Warhammer Fantasy: Beginning of the End Times(BoTET) and Call of Warhammer:Rise of the Dark Gods (CoW). Both run on Warhammer lore and are an absolute blast in terms of hardcore battles and extremely challenging. CoW is more guided and scripted but in return you get the lore friendly version of the Chaos tide in the old world only. BoTET instead is an open sandbox in that regard. You literally can do whatever (destroy the empire as Ostland or something) and the map is huge, going from Lustria to the Bad Lands just bordering Ogre territory to the east. You get almost all races and each is unique (except maybe for empire provinces but that is how they are in lore). Lots of conquest to do and a lot of super epic and diverse battles. Aint the same fighting against the Empire and fighting versus some green bois. Highly recommend you try both! Call of Warhammer: www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-warhammer-total-war BoTET: www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-warhammer-beginning-of-the-end-times I completely agree with Third Age, Stainless Steel and Europe Batbarorum 2. The others I havent played. Specially Third Age with Divide and Conquer

[@saitamleonidas]

Please recommend us something to appease the pike & shot frenzy!!

[@josecamacho1394]

I've never played insularis draco so 8 can't speak on that one however these are my top 5 mtw2 mods number one by a landslide Tsardoms far beyond anything I've ever experienced, the most fun, most polished mod for mtw 2. the main problem with every mtw 2 game or mod has always been the in-between turns aspect with nothing else to do but wait till next turn for something to happen or a decision to make enter Tsardoms even though is not perfect it is the only mod that is not as bad either you get many scripts and things to do, cities and castles are amazing no city castle is the same in all this is the best mod for mtw 2 I've started playing these games since the beginning with Shogun being the first in the total war series back in 2000 so I've played every important mod there is until Tsardoms blew it all up, second to Tsardoms is Bellum Crusis another amazing mod that took SS to another level, third Lucium Total War amazing mod that made Empire absolete forth EB Total War awesome mod and fifth Broken Crescent. these are my choices based on my experience with thousands of hours played since the beginning of the series.

[@alexnavarro6941]

I have very good memories of these. Now I'm replaying Third Age, and I feel so disoriented with the camera system. I didn't remember it was so different from modern Total Wars.

Medieval 3 Total war

[@luiggimoncion]

Tzardoms and SSHIP

[@seraphx26]

I was really enjoying Lucium but it just isn't stable enough to play a long campaign in my experience, and that isn't so much the fault of the particular mod, it just seems that massive overhaul mods break the game in general.

[@olymonusolymonus2637]

Its so sad you don't mentioned Thera total war... I mean its barely balanced but fr its awesome how it managed to mix so many different timelines and universes, and still be an acceptable thing. And tbh its fun to kill reptile warriors with samurai rocket crossbowmans

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

I’ve actually made a video on it :) Maybe should’ve given it an honourable mention

[@ContemplatingCat]

You use some acronyms I am unfamiliar with like T.O.B. and I am curious if I can get that with just Medieval II: Total War..? I noticed some stuff that looked like it was from other Total War games in the video. I've literally only ever played Empire: Total War vanilla, and then with DarthMod and an All Factions Mod that was compatible with DarthMod. The Middle Earth mod looks way cool though. All of these mods do. I'm going to play the game vanilla first just to get an idea of it. Then I'll try out some of these mods, but I may just try and find a DarthMod version for Medieval II if they even made one. I like how it has the mod client built in with the mod. I'm really not a serious gamer, and modding confuses the shit out of me tbh. I am very into older games. I also have a low-end PC right now, so these games are a blessing for me personally. Especially because I purchased the newest version of Age of Empires II and cannot run it on this PC... So, being able to play Empire: Total War has been awesome. I love medieval stuff though and wanted to try a different Total War game. I'm wondering if it's worth playing any older titles? The way they made the WH games seems like they're all linked together. I kinda hope they're all related like expansions, and that you can access every single Warhammer army once you've purchased all 3 games and DLC, so that you can see battles between any and all factions WH has to offer. Anyways... Thanks!

[@kevindoudie1639]

Love these! Out of interest do any of these work on Mac?

[@Bellthorian]

Are their any mods that support Ultra Wide Screens?

[@marcinmarszaek3813]

There is only one problem I have with Steinless Steel - GOD DAMN AI RECRUITMENT. A faction with one last city was able to field 4 full armies! They were trash militia standing no chance against my army, but those battles were boring and annoying. And it kept happening with everyone. Each castle and city was able to form a bilion of units I had to bash through with no fun at all just to capture it. I really wish they could fix it to be more balanced and enjoyable, for at some point killing the 10-th army made up of pesants, militiamen and 1-2 actually deacent units just became boring and mood-killing.

[@missing_5_7_89]

I recomment Broken Crescent instead of Stainless Steel

[@kurtsabal8145]

Try Tsardoms total war guys, it's a good mod too.

[@HerrLindstrom]

Im sure theres a bunch of us in the chat here wondering why the Elder Scrolls Total war mod didn't make it on this list. Perhaps it needs more polish but rest assured it's still being updated by a mod developer. One day maybe it will be in a top 10 Med 2 mods. Also the mod The Last Kingdom was one of my favorites.
