Happy to see Divide and Conquer for Third Age get a shoutout! A shame it got kicked from Total War Center for simplifying the install process but it's an excellent submod and has a great community on discord.

Yes, of all the submods, I think I've played it the least (I've mostly played with the unofficial patch), but I'm looking forward to trying it out with the new install process. Perhaps one day I'll do a video covering all the Lord of the Rings mods for the Total War series (from Fourth Age to Third Age + submods to Rise of Mordor for Attila).

@blackknight4152

@Dylan Drummond Well yes, since the original lead developer of third age couldnt be contacted and he left behind a few rules that any submod had to follow in order to be accepted. One of those was downloading and isntalling third age total war from its mod db page. There were some problems and even instability in the latest build of Third age that caused some severe problems for D&C team to make the installation proccess easier for the end user, so they went standalone, which meant they had no rights to be in Total war Center. Its a shame no agreement couldnt be reached between the TWCenter staff ( D&C was one of the highest traffic forums, probably the biggest) and now they use Discord to manage their community. D&C has made so many changes to the original Mod that there is already allegedly more of D&C than original Third Age within the files, the map has substantial differences, much more factions completely redone models and hundreds of new units... Lets just say Third age was obsolete in comparison to the structure of D&C. Since they werent given permision or any word from the original Third Age creator they just decided to go with it and abandon the platform. The platform did what it had to do, they cant allow Modders crushing eachother and using others work without permissions but in this case D&C is pretty much its own thing nowadays so I cant blame them too much. If Gudea covers all Lotr related mods to tw I hope he covers Dagor Ennor also known as PCP, incredible maps and building system, it uses units and assets made by other modders with consent as placeholders but campaing wise its one of the most complex and interesting expiriences that one can have in med 2.

Good list! Unlike your Rome lists, I know them, and would like to contribute a few myself. 1: THERA: Legacy of the great torment Low fantasy mod. Very stable, optimized performance (skins, map, scripts), only 1 bug (easy to fix). The main thing with this mod is the variation: you have ren pike&shot (faustian reich), romans (romuli), King Arthur british, celtic tribes, chinese-mongols, tuaregs, ottomans, crusaders, baltic pagans, apaches, etc. on one map. Balance is perfect, while each faction has a different playstyle. I think this is the mod I spent the most time on. It is not in developemenet anymore, but it is pretty much a complete masterpiece gameplay-wise. (you have to rename 1 file though, because a destroyed faction forming a horde causes CTD. Very easy to do - rename 1 txt file - , but you have to know what to do) 2: The Last Kingdom Similar the Rome mod "Viking Invasions II: Dominion of Britannia" or MEdieval 1's Viking Invasion expansion. Historical and very athmospheric mod. Playable are the saxon kingdoms, norwegians and danes, irish factions, franks and normans. Very interesting mechanic with the viking raids (AI viking faction army spawns), and actually rethinking raid/looting in general (it makes sense to take a settlement, loot, tear down the temples and leave). Some fun surprises too. The AI doesn't really deal with the poor settlements very well though. 3: Wrath of the northman It's the vikings again, but currently on their homeland. New, very good quality map with whole Scandinavia, the baltic coast up to Novgorod. Also very athmospheric, cool music, new skins, but the best part are the exotic factions. I mean where else can you play well developed (!) baltic tribes (Kursi), and scandinavian petty kingdoms. Also interesting is that loot income is much more important than usual, it was increased to such a way that looting cities will be the main source of income for 30-40 turns. I have only one complaint, again the AI doesn't really cope very well. 4: Reconquista 1143 This a reconquista mod we always wanted, with mostly a vanilla feel. Not many new units, but a well done iberia map with historical factions. Some are easier (moors, castile), some are harder (navarra, aragon), but each is well recearched, while having well-tested scripts. A good example is the crusaders from England (Richard) stopping by at Porto, and help you for a turn or two if you have trouble taking it from the moors. Generally similar to official Kingdoms campaigns.

From what I remember of playing EBII was the battles were not as satisfying as EB1. Units didn't seem to hold lines and it would be a giant cluster f. Cavalry charge felt underwhelming. And obviously, the pikemen units were a mess. I dropped the game pretty quick.

@GudeaTW

I think those issues are standard Med 2 issues (imo). EB 2 is nice - I enjoy the field battles a lot! Siege battles are a slog unfortunately, but those can be improved with some tweaks.

You have factions there that I do NOT have, like Armenia for 1 example, even though I am also using 6.4 + 1.27.......?
