Could you tell me the best mods for each part of rtw 2?

[@happycompy]

This was a brilliant list! You're doing such a service to both TW players AND mod creators who put their blood sweat and tears into these insane mods. We stan the Terminator, onwards to 10k!

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Thanks bud :) And for sure man they deserve all the support they can get ❤️❤️ Can you imagine the Total Wars without mods? 😬

Years ago when I started playing the total war franchise I noticed how much it improved my knowledge of historical world geography, and in some cases, military world history. I found it so helpful that I encouraged my young kids play it on a limited basis. I'm interested to hear if anyone else has noticed the same benefits from this franchise?

[@beesmitty3435]

Fr. Single handedly inspired me to educate myself.. started w THOR podcast and I realized I could learn anything on the internet nit just by scholars on the subject but people w a passion for the knowledge they are sharing.

[@drezworthy]

100% TW series has taught me so much of history and has reinforced a deep passion for it.

[@sncaz1767]

100% agree with this

[@fattygannet777]

My uncle bought me this game when I was a kid from a games store, and it helped create a passion for me; a passion for history

[@Salamanca56-i8j]

I got into history since i began playing Rome 1 total war when i was 10 years old. Now i am a history nerd thanks to this game, and my little brother was playing those cringy games for kids like " among us" and "roblox" and other mainstream useless stuff. I made him command a legion and now he is playing only the total wars and asking about history and generals.

[@samrester6254]

Well done Termi. Had never tried Constantine. I'll be trying that one next. Keep up the content. Really appreciate these reviews.

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Thank you! And definitely mate its a good one :)

[@rachanacreativekitchen1953]

@@TheTerminatorGaming can you show unit roaster

[@Gyrosmeister]

Impressive you narrowed it down to 5, since there are many more high quality ones. Eras of Rome, Cyrus etc

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

I plan on making more mod compilations and spotlighting so this is just the beginning 😉

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

Rome II, like Atilla and Britannia, I love the battles and loath the campaign map, tech and build trees. They are complicated and fantastically frustrating. I need a mod that guts that aspect.

[@Robert399]

I find DEI totally impenetrable. I love the ideas but managing seems impossible. From turn 1 on easy, I need EVERY building slot producing food or I starve _and_ I need EVERY building slot producing happiness or it falls constantly (and yes, my armies are patrolling, not garrisoning). I've given up multiple campaigns after about 5 turns.

[@andriybulenok8524]

Pay attention to culture and technologies. Those are usually the main factors for discontent management

[@andriybulenok8524]

Plenty of techs give you cultural conversion, sanitation or public order which makes you less starined on building slots

[@Robert399]

@@andriybulenok8524 I'll have a look next time. That still seems strange to me, forcing you to endure 50 turns of rubbish gameplay while you wait for technologies to unlock before you can start playing the real game.

[@andriybulenok8524]

@@Robert399 I just keep going and crush the eventual and unescapable revolts. Revolts WILL happen. Culture changes slowly, instability takes 10 turns to dissapear. When you see it coming make a new army and spam local levies, crushing the revolt as it spawns. Tier 3 barracks are very easy to research for most factions, taking less than 20 turns, usually, which is, at least for me, quite fast, so you will be playing the "real game" with the full roster by turn 30-35. Some factions don't even need tier 3 barracks too soon which means you can focus on whatever is most useful for you right now (sparta only gets t3 units after thureos reforms, and even those are extremely shitty, I only ever upgraded barracks for the recruitment xp bonus). DeI is great and there are many aspects, especially in the faction rosters/reforms that you can only discover by playing the faction (or extensively researching the unit database) It will make you realize how unique that faction actually is. I hope you figure it out and have as much fun as I do. Good luck 👍 Edit: Oh and I forgot! Negative food in Dei isn't a death sentence like in vanilla. Your soldiers will only desert when you have negative gold. Replenishing will be impossible, though. Besides using the spy you get in the beginning to steal food usually is enough, before you get dedicated food production provinces

[@kawaiku]

Would love to see this for Three Kingdoms, Shogun 2, Troy, Napoleon, Empire, etc.

[@starsmil9687]

Oh..I love this TW videos machine called Terminator! :D

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

❤️❤️❤️

[@iloveyoushima]

Got to admit, I tried medieval 1100AD and was sorely disappointed. Same problem that Thrones of Britannia had; everybody looks the same. Sacrificing good looks for historical accuracy. There’s a reason Medieval 2 is hailed as one of the best, if not the best, Total War.

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

great video man I'd love to see you cover some mods for Napoleon or Empire if you get the time!

[@giordanocolonna2297]

all these mods are definitely in my top 5

[@pompeymacca28]

I was literly gonna comment on a previous video too see if you could do a comparison and you did anyway. Great work 👍

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Thanks mate :) yeah lots of people were asking me so I went ahead and did it haha

[@heinrichvongotzen398]

Will you also do review on other total war , such as for empire, napoleon, shogun 2 (my personal favorite is shogun, because even much older the engine for unit movement, landscape, campaign map and battlefield, siege, features are feel quite balanced)

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Yes I will ❤️

[@EtonieE25]

Yes please with Empire and Napoleon as still brilliant games 👍

[@ScaniaVikings]

Awesome! Thx for doing the work for me :)

[@swietytomasz]

The only mod i need for R2 is something that prevents armies from moving across half Europe in one turn

[@swietytomasz]

2:24 I won't you cant look at battle because its over as soon as the forces clash unless you specially get mods to give all units better morale and hp and make them fight for a bit

[@thisarajayasinghe9252]

Hey Terminator. A couple of weeks ago i have watched your video about the New World mod. First, I thought it was about the real new world I mean America......It would be awsome if we can get game or mods about these forgotten civilizations like Maya, Inca, Aztec. I know Rome 2 maps is not moddable and lack of history sources but after the Rise of Mordor map editor i hope many great unique mods will be available. Give some ideas to modders about this.

[@jorvach9874]

You could try the Americas campaign in Medieval 2 Total War Kingdoms Expansion. You get a number of American factions like the Aztecs, Mayans, and Apaches, plus the Spanish conquistadors with Hernan Cortez. There are other minor factions too, including emergent expeditions from France and England. Most the of the native factions are almost the same in terms of unit roster though. Other than the Apaches, who can steal guns and horses from the Europeans and use them against them!

[@NeonTurtleVR]

Underrated channel and video

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@luminousnite6310]

I dont have any expansion, will any of these mods work for me?

[@UnexpectedInquisition]

Tried to get back into Atilla but the lack of 4k support made it unplayable. SO here I am, back in Rome 2, watching your vid. Appreciate the content. Your Atilla vid was useful as heck in making it gorgeous. Just went through a bunch of things to make it pretty, only to realize I could not fix the 4K ui scaling issue xD

[@iNeedaBreakdown]

Nice video as always! Did you ever try the "Hegemony - Greco-Persian Wars"-mod for WoS? It was killer back in the day, but I can't find it on the Steam workshop anymore. Keep it up mate!

[@carlroy]

I'm playing Parra Belum as Rome with 24 turn per year submod to catch that DEI. I still prefer DEI but damn that mod is good and great to play.

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

Thank you! :)

[@re-birth8865]

would love to hear both sides of each mod ie pros and cons. like devide et impera is great but INCREDIBLY slow

[@drezworthy]

DEI is slow, but I keep a book or tablet on hand for between turns

[@Sassannid]

Great list brother! I'm just getting back in to TW after many years. Last game I played believe it or not was the original Shogun. I just bought Rome 2 and Attila on sale and both are just so much fun and I'm experimenting with mods. I wish there was a good overhaul mod for Rome 2 that allowed me to play at the Persian Safavids and Turkish Ottomans, around the 16th-19th centuries. If anyone knows of any such mods let me know please. Peace

Yeah, all of this is cool and all, but we are still waiting for a mod that change the core gameplay on the campaign maps. Let's be honest, Rome 2 was the TW game that marked the negative turn TCA took in terms of gameplay. The last TW peaked in mediocrity and boredom. I hoped that with time, the community would bring good mods to relieve this but it I was wrong to hope. Maybe the core gameplay of TW games can't be moded, idk.

I ll be honest ... iam happy and kinda disipointed in the same time ... Lets start with the second one ... i kinda expected that you will make some work and you try to find another 5 mods that are not that famous or wiewed and would deserve same or similar attention like those mods ... instead you just took mods that you made video about them already (and they are not that old ) ... like really detailed videos .... only mod that really deserves be on this list is the Constatnine:Rise of Christianty... its old mod but good one ... and its been a while i seen any video about this mod. On the other hand i am really happy you make these videos ( not this one tho xD ) your voice is calm and good for listening ... you seem that you really like total war games and mods so i belive this gives you some "right" to talk about these mods and games cuz u have some knowledge and skill.Anyhow i wish you much more wiwers and keep posting us about updates of mods .... :) :)

[@TheTerminatorGaming]

I'll be spotlighting as many mods as I can mate so this is just as you've said a compilation of mods I've covered so far that I think at the moment are some of the best. More videos like this one will come with other mods in the future :) Thanks for your kind words!

Hands down the best mod is DEI. There literally is no competition. All other mods are complete trash in comparison. I have never played a mod that was better than the best game in every single way like DEI has done for me. It's so immersive and difficult and fun. Like you have to control population and try to minimize casualties because your population can't handle the losses as much. Ugh I love DEI.
