I know the video would be better if every single one had Gameplay, this comment I am used to when doing these.
Yet, I record everyday, heavily edited and often scripted videos + Stream on the Weekends and Organise Tournaments. Sadly I also cannot re-install every Mod, download it, deal with issues and then capture gameplay 10 times over - so for most I used screenshots.
I know it's not perfect, but it is the best I could possibly do. : )
(Having to state it here as it is usually the biggest complaint from the series)
Uuhh Lord of the Rings gameplay for EB II?
@@lobhabbrea I saw that too and got confused.
You have a discord community, maybe just ask someone who has the mods to record the gameplay for you?
Eras total conquest is the most underrated medieval 2 mod
I would say it is one of the most underrated.
It crashes everytime I start a custom battle.
I'm playing it
Not historically accurate. Unplayable cause of it
It is a great framework but it stills needs quite a bit more work before it can be considered one of the great mods.
The Elder Scrolls Total War is ridiculous, in the best possible way. I've been playing a Telvanni campaign, and my generals bodyguard units have been getting 700-800 kills per battle by themselves. Insanely OP, but really fun to use against the massed hordes of Dagoth.
The Elder Scrools mod is a total mess as it adds a lot of things from ESO that doesn't fit aesthetically or lore-wise. Also the garrison scrips are bonkers, spawning units for the defender but doesn't remove them after the battle among many other things. The Unofficial patch makes all of those problems more noticeable and add it's own problems, like super-slow campaign, alot of events etc
@@MrAhnassi You might be right, but I am still really enjoying the mod. I don't really mind garrison scrips since the player is so much better than AI, they can be easily overcome anyway. I don't play with UP, so I haven;t noticed any exacerbated issues.
Something the elder scrolls mod does that I haven’t seen any other mods do is offer real quests to the players that give decent rewards. They all involve taking over a settlement or series of settlements, maybe constructing a certain type of building afterwards, but they always unlock a handful of unique units exclusive to that quest. In hotseat campaigns, it makes it so that players are competing with each other on completing these quests first to have an upper hand with new units.
I’ve played a campaign with my brothers and it was a lot of fun, lasted almost a year. 120 turns of constant pressure from the ai and ourselves at some points. Definitely my favorite mod.
The community is wrong. DaC is best.
Indeed
DaC?
@@Tentacionessinglutenhotmailcom divide and conquer a sub-mod of third age total war it's a mod on the lord of the ring
@@thomaslamy6468 dac is no longer a sub-mod of third age
@@acker1706 So it's just included in the main mod now?
Thanks for the video bro, was looking for something like this last night.
Teletubbies tossing grenades, where has this been all my life lol
Personal opinion, Eras Total Conquere also deserve on honourable list.
World Conquest, all new faction. Also the map better than fulcrum(?) atleast.
I agree. If this was my opinion, it would certainly be on there.
Hyrule:Total War is also an interesting mod, that sadly ceased development, because the project was transfered to 0 A.D.
Hyrule and TES Mod seems to have crash issues on huge scale battles...and sometimes i had to manual save instead of autosave...i know they were trying to fix it but now they are dead/ceased to developed so yeah pretty sad too see it that way :(
@@Leo-64DC27 A small team of the remaining HTW devs is working on a new release of the mod, it's called Hyrule total war conquest edition now. This is their discord discord.gg/sAkJZea
You forgot a pretty good mod Bellum Crucis,This mod brings us into the Roman Era,Not like Europa Barbarorum,But like into a Later Roman Era
Didn't forget. Not enough people suggested it.
Oh welp
Its the only mod I havent been able to play. I just can't get it to work. Badly want to
It's Italian mod yessss. It's very good bellum crucis 🇮🇹
Italian Wars and 1648 should have been honourable mentions
Yes!! I just ended my 32426 campaign in vanila, this is what I needed. TKS
What you brought up about the English civil war mod is interesting. I never knew it existed and I was looking for a cool campaign to play having to do with Pike and shot military... Thanks for posting- I'm going to look into downloading it
Amazing that Medieval II still has such a good mod community. I've played probably over a 1000 hours on that thing and tried many of the mods on this list. And yet I've never fought the Mongols :P
I recommend u to play Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mods v5.02.0, playing as Novgorod or Kievan Russ. Good luck.
I think we are all waiting fo Stainless Steel 6.5 or 7 ... but its been so many years now
Very cool yeah. I was pretty happy that was able to guess the top 4 even though I did expect Reforged and DaC to be swapped around :p
People (who I have seen) would rather like a mod that has a working campaign than a mod that's only multiplayer, with just the slightest bit of campaign (divide and conquers multiplayer works and is just a bonus) and a lot of people like DaC, more than Reforged, you should see the downloads
I got an add as you said second place: “And in second place why is your fridge so important for recycling!”
Yep, I remember putting that add in there. he he he : )
Important thing to mention is in order to download most of these you have to have at least one kingdoms dlc(teutonic,crusades,america,britania)
DaC is in 4.5 and they’re working on V5
Great video and found some new mods from it! I would give a special shoutout to Hyrule total war, for some amazing custom maps and the most diverse factions I've seen. Not super balanced by any means but I love the vibes.
Im surprised Call of Warhammer is more popular than Beginning of the End Times mod...
I think people just use call of warhammer to reffer to both since it was the original name. I sure do.
@@PoorManatee6197 Yes, that's like reffering to "Third Age" for all the Thrid Age-mods - it would result in the original winning.
So happy DaC made it to spot 2, that's well deserved. It's got Lord of the Rings lore, balanced units, it's fixed pike and 2H mechanics, and to be honest, I don't see it as a single vast campaign, but several smaller ones. Playing as the besieged kingdom of Gondor is fundamentally different to the peaceful vale of Dorwinion, or the expedition for Moria.
What about De Bello Mundi? Is by far easier and cooler than Europa Barbarorum. It adds most of Europe, Asia and Africa and lot of factions to play in a pretty cool Rome: Total War vanilla style. As underrated as Eras Total Conquest. I really recommend it guys
I dont like Europa Barbarorum mostly because is really...broken, mostly
They say some instructions that you have to follow, or the game would crash or not work
Hey melkor, great vid,
FYI call of warhammer is effectively dead iirc, but there is a team working on adding content and features to BOTET (COW sub-mod) to this day as well as a discord server where u can follow progression, they are atm working on their big 2.0 release.
Keep on the great work and enjoying M2TW,
cya around
Call of warhammer is my favorite along with third age. I have both warhammer 1 and 2 but i still play call of warhamer from time to time. It hurts me to see it so low on the list.
It hurts me too
Hey at least it's on the list! Some of my favorites aren't even here lol.
It crashes too much
Thanks for the list! Enjoyed Darth Mod for a number of years until I ran across Stainless Steel.... ooooooh, I like that mod :)
There is that mod total war tzardoms which focuses the whole grand campaign to the underdeveloped Balkans and Italy and focuses on the late medieval history of that part of Europe
English civil war mod is on TW center, called "for king and country"
Well worth a go.
There are also Hyrule Total War (Zelda) and Warcraft: Total War, unfortunately with plenty of problems with launching, but design is completely incredible. Bello Mundi is also fantastic with several kingdoms of ancient world and in addition "Rise of Three Kingdoms" inside the ancient China. In summary Medieval II is a solid base for modifications and almost I don't play in vanilia campaigns.
Remark also that still new modifications are designing right now (Witcher: Total War, Silmarilion: Total War and India: Total War for example).
Some mods I would suggest are Last Kingdom and Wrath of the Norsemen (viking age mods) and the 1648 mod (30 Years' War mod). The 1648 mod completely transforms the game and genuinely feels like a time period vanilla hasn't explored.
I was looking for this comment
I really like the Westeros Dunkle Schwingen version. It just got updated on june the 1st.
I planned to find a video like "Best Medieval 2 TW mods" today, but this video found me earlier
Bulat Steel is a very cool mod however it needs more update, but have lots of potentials. There are a lots of new scripts and the overhaul is amazing
What a shame the For King and Country English Civil War mod doesn’t exist anymore, that one looked great to play
Haven’t started the video yet but I would bet my soul on Stainless Steel being number 1
Very good adai!!!
The Italian wars, I like that mod, shot and pikes focused
A mod I just discovered is Bulat Steel. It is honestly one of the best mods I have played of any total war. Imo its better than SS, with extremely beautiful units, amazing map and faction details, a lot (And I mean ALOT) of optional scripts with a launcher similar to SS. It is in Russian but just follow the install instructions and you'll get it to English, and the translation is pretty damn good. Go try it out guys, you wont regret it. EDIT: Since the mod is Russian made there are 3 Russian factions, just in case you have an itch to finally play fleshed out Russian factions
I've heard of it but not only is the installation difficult but I have next to no information about it where with others I have lists of factions and maps. Where can I find say a list of the factions and a map of their starting positions?
@@demetriblackheart4497 Here is the same video I used, after the installation he shows all of the factions in the mod. ruclips.net/video/3gTzX9qnmUg/видео.html
I love both DaC and Stainless, but I play Stainless more just because I can find DaC a bit overwhelming at times. Both great and I have the upmost respect for the DaC developers.
The Bulat steel and Rus 2 Total War mods must be in there!
An excellent mod is Rise Of The Three Kingdoms Total War.
Westeros Dunkle Schwingen is clearly a must have. It is the best mod on GoT universe. Visually beautiful and accurate with models from the tv show.
Yesterday I started playing medieval 2 and was looking for some mod that improves the gameplay and has fun. For some reason, this video was in my feed hahaha (for sure it was the destination) and I was interested in this stainless steel. thank you man! you have my like and inscription!
forgive my english ;-; I live in Brazil I speak Portuguese
Your English is excellent have fun playing these mods 😀
I notice the absence of 1648 Total War.
Stainless Steel, Third Age and EB2 are favs. My biggest complaint about Medieval 2 is the battle AI, which is too easy to outsmart in this game, which eventually removes the challenge once you've got a few good stacks of armies. Playing DEI now, having much better battles.
hey melkor i was wondering if you would review the invasio barbarorum flagium dei mod for RTW BI?
imo its very underrated and i think you would find it interesting : D
Most underrated TW mod ever
Alex Barker it’s pretty damn underrated yea
Stainless Steel and Vanilla Third Age are my favorites : )
The most accurate mods are De Bello Mundi, Broken Crescent (but not last version of it), Anatolian Proncipalities and Rus 2 Total War
Even though I have never played elder scrolls I’m going to play the mod for it
stainless steel + sship is incredible - literally 1000's of hours worth of additional play
Hey I'd recommend leaving the list as the community rate it and keeping your picks to honourable mentions
My favorite mod until now is Total Bananas, it just mix all the expansion with the base game.
Call of Warhammer is my go to mod ...
As a person who loves Warhammer AND Total War Warhammer Total war has let me down on both fronts ...
But CoW:BotET is THE hottest stuff out there!!
I'm in love with it.
Round 300 and I'm not bored and not done... that mod is just a gift that keeps on giving.
It just has so many secrets and little things that really show how much love there is pumped into it. Hell you can build Cathay trading posts at the right places but even just all the interesting litlle mercanaries could fill a game on its own !!
Just an amazing mod.
I love the last kingdom mod you should give it a try
I struggled to get that one to work for some odd reason.
@@MelkorGG there are several tutorial videos on RUclips to help you XD. Btw do not install the Warth of the Northman sub-mod... it kinda sucks.
yeah its brilliant mod. definetly more people should try it
there is the kingdoms grand campaign mod which brings the kingdoms factions into vanilla and the map is larger
Hehe, i am playing Novgorod in this mod (KGCM v5.02.0), turn 78 and the Mongols Horde is not a scary threat to me anymore. I am on the way to pay them all :)).
Thank You! :D
On my video I had an add on number 5 so it was number 5 raid shadow legends
XD
Next Time maybe top 5 best Total War Intros? (Include expansions) i think that is great idea, no one did Top 5 TW like this. I would set TW Shogun 2 TW Napoleon and TW Attyla Charlemagne :D
I do want to do that someday, but don't know when
Napoleon and Attila
I still think that 'Bellum Crucis' is far better than 'Stainless Steel' as an historical mod, i really recommend people trying it out.
It focus on different era bro... we like medieval
What about "Bulat Steel 2.1.5 Total War" ?
just saw it yesterday on Modb
Buggy
Ahhh too bad there was no love for Thera or the Three Kingdoms mod -
Im still curious how Bronze Age Total War will do in Medieval 2^^ Gotta stay vigilant
Im also suprised that the Call of Warhammer mod got placed "last" - It did its job pretty well (except crashing on every tactical battle with Skaven on them xD)
I would just switch places one and two. I also don't get why you say that DaC has too big campaign but SS6.4's campaign is not too big? Both mods have max avaliable number of settlements so both camapigns are technically the same size.
I said SS does have a too big campaign. Although, still I feel DaC is bigger as it feel like it takess longer. Maybe larger garrsion scripts, or less easily to recuit units could be a factor in that
@MELKOR if you like Total War Vannila, you might also like Total Banana mod
www.moddb.com/mods/total-bananas-1099
It basically takes all the mods from Total War Medieval 2 Kingdoms (Teutonic, Crusades, British Isles and Americas) and puts them into one game with a huge map that extends from the Americas to Asia. It keeps the Vannila feeling and doesn't add any new units or mechanics.
I love mods like Stainless Steel and Darthmod Empire that just improve the base game and make it more epic.
Darthmod FTW. In my heart.
Watching jpog dinosaurs getting killed made me kind of sad
Obrigado por divulgar esses incríveis mod's, em especial o 'Stainless Steel', não sabia que existia esse trabalho para o Medieval II. Estou eternamente grato. Você ganhou um inscrito. :)
Third age divide and conquor is by far the most polished and exciting mod I've ever played. Plus it's a super easy installation....it's good people like me who aren't tech savvy.
2020 and I still play this game
We all here on this channel do : )
Sorry to correct you but the 195 Europa Barbarorum Let's Play episodes by LotW was for EB 1.1 on RTW/BI not M2TW laddie
I don’t know what your talking about the English civil war mod still works for me
Turns out it is still up. But it was taken down from many sites for some reason.
Melkor, please do it for empire total war please, this was really interesting
there are still links for the English civil war mod, you just got to search for it really hard.
vanilla kingdoms allows Venice to hire Greek Flamethrower.That's a top secret weapon and definitely impossible to happen.
Does not exsist anymore is my favorite
Where i can find the total war medieval 2 MOD for world map conquest?
A mod that I think is overlooked is the Thera Redux Mod.
I cant believe thera was not considered. In what other mod can you have romans fighting uruks and napoleonic line infantry?
i love this tiny little community
Yes bro Planet war!!!
Has anyone heard of and tried hyrule total war i highly recommend it if you love zelda, medieval 2 or just want to try something new. Its my favorite mod and i really want to share this mod with the community
Europa Barbarorum is still actively updated
And the ultimate mod that is above all those mods (i played some including n.1) is Deus lo Vult Battlefield Balanced v4.36, there is no better mod if you looking for historical realism for TW2
Sadly no one knows the sigh of empire mod. It covers the taiping rebellion
I struggle so hard to install Vanilla total war, the option to download is never there, can someone help me please?
What is the outro song?
heresy Divide and conquer is supremé, but atleast its on number 2 :)
Planet War mod looks funny hahaha!
Total vanilla beyond is number one for me
Swarming Europe with the Apache
having both Norway and Denmark spam Britain with Norse swords man
Being able to recruit welsh units If you own wales
Being able to recruit kingdom of Antioch and Jerusalem units from those cities
Ai and player are forced to always build best troops available (if you can recruit longbow men you can no longer recruit peasant archers ) which makes the game much harder no full stacks of peasants
Several kingdoms faction in the vanilla grand campaign plus some new ones to add more orthodox and Islam factions
Music from all expansions
The planet war campaign is actually pretty good
My problem with SS6.4 is that it's too cav based, gunners are not very usefull (although they were really usefull especially when fighting the nomads, or even as the turks) and i felt like non-western factions (especially eastern-european factions) always had a disavantage compared to the western factions, why ? Weaker melee units, weaker missiles,weaker cav etc. I got bored of it cuz after playing as france for the 928282738th time
My biggest problem with it is that I can’t play more than 30 turns without getting an unreasonable amount of crashes
@@DarthNicky oh i forgot abt the crashes XD
Lol i remember for a while i couldn't even change the settings cuz each time i wanted to change them, the set-up would crash lool
The Russian factions have a horrible starting roster but they're deadly in late era. I agree on the cumans that they're pretty bad with everything they have, the mongols having better everything. Also byzantium is also an eastern-european faction but calling it weak is just hilariously wrong. They have some of the best heavy cav, respectable misile units(+ motherfucking flame throwers) and their melee units are respectable on all levels. Their only weakness is their position in which they're surrounded by enemies and the bulgarian event which seems to weaken them a lot.
@@vlads3283 indeed the byzantins are strong, i meant the slavic factions when i said eastern-european
@@vlads3283 tbh i just feel like that game has serious balance issues
Or maybe i just don't play the game as it should be
0:45 Get on with it man!
What's best byzantine mod ?
Nice vid. Like many Brit men, your diction on the r’s could be sharper
Did the English civil war issue a takedown?
Didn't wlderscrolls just get a massive update
I have no experience installing mods except via steam, how hard is it to install stainless steel?
Not hard go to moddb.com there are instructions
Okay guys, which mod has the best Campaign? I loved Elder Scrolls and Third Age, even Age of The Petty Kings and Westeros was incredible. Can anyone suggest a mod with an equally incredible campaigns?
I love AOPK but sadly it seems like a one man project and they aren't many Units barely any if anything. After playing for 100s of hours with levies and men at arms you do start wanting some full plated armored units 😅
What about Bellum Crucis 7?
I was wondering, do comments actually help with the YT algorithm ?
Yes, any viewer engagement helps. Dislikes seem to have the least effect unless there are more dislikes than likes, because the algorithm doesn't recommend the video. Hope it helps you Temple sacking Epirid :P
@@ThiccboiSalmon
That's a great answer considering it's a RUclips comment 😅
