The Magyars, Spawning Vikings and the Rebels made unplayable! image - The Last Kingdom (M2TW) mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms
The Last Kingdom challenges players to control 13 new factions, including the Vikings themselves, the Saxons, Scots, Irish, Welsh and Norman, and to embark on a campaign to dominate the British Isles. With a wealth of new historical heroes, players can lead a range of new units into battle - including Viking Berserkers, Saxon Huscarles and Fyrdmen - while conducting sieges and epic battles. You can conduct the campaign on a new map focusing on North Europe, in the continent, in the Isle of England or Iceland or starting from the Norwegian peninsula.
You can no longer play as the Magyars (a Horde Faction), the spawning and immortal "Vikings"-faction nor as the Rebels - originally I did want the Magyars playable but they were never intended to be played by the original team behind The Last Kingdom, and they were difficult to get working properly - so in the end I decided to revert them back to their old state where they will spawn late-game as a challenge on the map but won't be playable - they do still have their roster that I implemented back in 2017 for them.
The "Vikings"-faction is a spawning faction that spawns at certain dates to emulate real history - they will invade the player at certain turns just like the Magyars will, but work more like the Rebels in how they play - this faction is I believe a 2nd "rebel-faction" implemented for scripted invasions, they are as such immortal just like the rebel-faction and not intended to be played - I originally wanted the faction playable back when I used to enjoy playing as every faction in hotseat-campaigns - but this was back then. Now they're back to how they were originally intended to be - unplayable.
The Rebel-faction was used by me to play-test the mod back in 2017 and 2018. I did forget to disable them as "playable" before uploading the mod - now they're removed as well.
This means a cleaner selection screen.
