THE VIKING TOTAL WAR WE DESERVE - Age of Vikings Review - Mod for Total War Attila

Ойындар

Looking for a GREAT Total War VIKING experience? Then look no further! If Thrones of Britannia dissapointed you for whatever, Total War: Attila has got your back once more with another absolutely fantastic mod. Age of Vikings is a mod based on the Age of Charlemagne expansion, and therefore utilizes the zoomed in map of northern, western and southern Europe.

This mod is amazing in several ways, but perhaps the most important one is how it makes the viking age into so much more than just a battle for Britain, and the viking age was indeed a lot more diverse than just the northern wars. If you've heard of Age of Vikings before or have any opinions on it, let me know in the comments, or share with me your thoughts after seeing this video!

    I love Attila, vanilla and its mods. It is great, the last greatly moddable TW game and, in my opinion, one of the best historicals out there. There are so many mods (555, rise of islam, 1212, the dawnless days and countless others) that I feel I'll end up playing Attila and only Attila!

    Honestly something that Thrones should've done is handicap its factions armies in different ways like in AoC. Every faction in Britannia feels so similar meanwhile in AoC The Danes don't have any cavalry at the same time that the Avars and Lombards are the only factions with access to shock cavalry.

    My perfect Viking Total War game would greatly focus on longships and them allowing your armies to move huge distances over the sea to plunder monasteries and ports, which would perhaps be mini-regions that are easily attacked and looted, all to build up your treasury to launch full-scale invasions into England and France later. The map would also include Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland.

    Viking armies (mostly Danish) conquered East Anglia and Northumberland and dismantled Mercia, while in 871AD King Alfred the Great of Wessex became the only king to decisively defeat a Danish army in England. Leaving Wessex, the Danes settled to the north, in an area known as “Danelaw. so even this mod don't show off the Vikings very well considering DaneLaw was established and that ment the Vikings pretty much got what they wanted the useful Farmlands and Dane Laws within England and they allied with Wessex aswell so the fighting by the time this mod is set in pretty much stopped in England once DaneLaw was established.

    the Viking Age only lasted from 793AD to 1066AD so in terms of games there's not to much stuff they can cover seem the Vikings mostly did Trade and Farm of cause they did battle aswell but the Vikings did not do Battle as much as the history books make out... when the Vikings invaded England that was in 793AD and the target was the monastery at Lindisfarne... but in terms of the Vikings battle history there's not to much to say seem they mostly just wanted farmland so alot of Viking Based Games are more set around farming and building up a Viking Home then combat.. i think Total War really don't show what the Vikings did or even stick to the history of the Vikings..... CA has done a poor job on showing off The Vikings and that was Paid DLC aswell and as for Mods most player Mods don't even get the Vikings correct and just throw alot of BS into it like how the Viking political system works and how some mods give the Vikings really poor land units that are pretty much useless and break as soon as they get into battle... also The Vikings are useless when trying to capture Walled Settlements yet the Mods don't focus on the Raiding and Sacking part of the Vikings or even the slave part.

    This looks like an awesome mod, I'll have to play this after I finish another Warhammer 3 campaign or two. I really wanted to like Thrones of Britannia, and did enjoy parts of it, but I could never really get into it. I like the viking age but prefer to play the Irish, Welsh or Scottish because of my ancestry, but I mostly want it to be fun and sadly Thrones is the first and only TW that just wasn't fun for me, despite three attempts to get into it. Atilla is my favorite modern TW and Age of Charlemagne my favorite DLC, so that's even better. I tried Crusader Kings 3 which is fun for a couple of campaigns but a lot of the story plays out like a slapstick meme and it breaks immersion for me.
