So to help other players I made this list so you can check out some of these fantastic mods that I came across.īe sure to back up your saves, though, and I would recommend you starting new games whenever you install multiple larger mods at the same time.

I came across some fantastic mods and I rediscovered some mods that I used years ago, such as DarthMod easily one of the best gameplay enhancers that I’ve come across. I decided to give it another go a few days ago and made a point to install a few mods to see which ones were better, as I was looking to spice things up a bit. You'll need a copy of Medieval 2: Total War (natch), and the game's readme includes a few suggestions for dealing with pesky crashes.Empire might not be one of the most recent Total War titles, but it’s still a fan-favorite among many players (including myself).Įmpire was an iconic title that brought us countless days of joy as well as rage thanks to its toxic online community(which game isn’t) and extremely fun gameplay. To play TES:TW, download the mod from its home over on Mod DB. Unfortunately, the "Hordes of Oblivion" aren't too keen on global politicking. The mod also includes four more vile villains to pick up outside the campaign, from demon legions to small bands of rebels. The Elder Scrolls: Total War's 2.0 launch includes 18 playable factions and the breadth of Tamriel to conquer. Imperial war when you can toss Dagoth Ur's cloth-clad cultists into the fray with an army of monsters and mutants, anyway? Even so, modding maestro Dominic felt The Elder Scrolls: Total War shined brightest when it managed to draw out the weirdest, wildest side of the fiction when he took a look back in August. With few exceptions, the series has always been rather bland - a predictable mix of elves and men, swords and sorcery, plentiful dungeons and the occasional dragon. The Elder Scrolls is a fairly straightforward fantasy world. It has the feel of a long-forgotten spin-off, pushed out sometime between Morrowind and Oblivion.

It's probably just 'cos Medieval II: Total War is getting on a bit these days, but I'm loving the chunky 3D look to these armies of angry Norsemen and wry reptilians. The final update for the ambitious mod launched on November 11th 2019, eight entire years after Skyrim roared onto the scene. The Elder Scrolls: Total War - a complete overhaul to Medieval 2: Total War - launched this week, bringing some proper bombast to battlefields across Tamriel. Even Skyrim's nation-rending civil war never amounted to much more than a gathering of drunk LARPers waving sharp sticks at each other in the snow. Unfortunately, Bethesda's open-world games have never been too great at the whole mass battle thing. Like any big daft fantasy blockbuster, The Elder Scrolls needs war.
