"Breathes new life into one of TW's tightest and most atmospheric iterations with simplicity, balance and superb quality." - Antagonist, TW historian. Viking invasion II aims to recreate the campaign of the cult-status MTW: Viking Invasion on the Rome BI engine. It sticks closely to the original campaign, only making changes to correct large inaccuracies, to improve gameplay and comply with the new engine. It is also set a little later than the original campaign at AD 851 - two years after the birth of King Alfred the Great of Wessex. The map covers Ireland, England, Alba (Scotland), Jutland, Wales, and the isles and westernmost provinces of the Norwegians. There are 50 provinces and many new strategy-map trade resources and other models, as well as new map textures for both summer and winter. Eight factions are included which cover the Viking, Saxon and Celtic cultures. See link for more details.
Extremely stable and fun. I am enjoying playing this mod.

The mod itself is very technically competent, if dated. What absolutely destroys the good 1st impression is absolutely awful balance, with AI straight up blatantly cheating while you struggle to maintain even a small army. This obviously requires absurd amounts of min-maxing and cheesing the AI. Whats the point of bringing life to viking age if youre railroaded into abusing the AI pathfinding and powerplay? The AI doesn't feel fair, and it doesn't feel fair to play against the AI. 4/10.
excelent
Great mod really good for battles looking to do a video or two right now on it
well optimised on some battles, i can run this high with my potato laptop at normal troop sizes
.
It's a very great mod! It really reminds me of the Viking series with Northumbria or Wessex. It's really Great!
Simply a superb mod of stunning quality, as if it was an official expansion!
looks badassed
Great and fairly correct on most things in it, this mod has ten times the historical accuracy then the actuall viking invasion game. I highly recommend it to everyone :) Many varied units, very good feel, unique buildings and all, 10/10
