457 AD: Last Years of the Western Empire

Mod review

Disclaimer of bias: TOAOEs armor assets made by me for the mod.

Pro:
1. Team has committed, sorry, i mean; is committed to historical accuracy. Is reflected in locations, armor, weapons, scenes, many of which are completely new, made from scratch for this mod.
2. Large map, multiple authentic factions. Grand scale.
3. Continual development arc for the mod, with bugs being addressed.
4. Very few bugs, quite stable, have experienced no CTDs while playing over 50 hours of this mod.
Con:
1. Combat is not optimal, with cutting weapons ineffective against armor, but poorly signaled, hence it feels unresponsive.
2. Lack of variety in battle maps. Often too big, too.

Thus i rate it 8/10. 1 point deducted for unresponsive combat, another point for battlefield monotony.
