I'm looking forward to the USP compact.

There are no installation instructions on this page, nor in the download files. I copied the 4 folders directly to my root anomaly folder, and there are no changes to the game.

Could you please include some instructions for installation?

Update:
I found out that using my old Anomaly shortcut loads vanilla Anomaly. In order to run Expedition, you have to use the new .exe

Download not working. I've been trying for 2 weeks. Each time I try I get a timeout error.

I figured it out. Your mod requires the Reshade to be installed. It now works with the Reshade installed.

I figured it out. Because I have an integrated graphics chip in my motherboard, many older games use it by default. I determined this by using the "performance" tab in the control manager and watching my GPU sit at 1%

Use this guide to command windows to use your GPU when running games:

I'm barely getting 30 fps, and .5s of input lag. If my 3070 can't run this, I'm not sure what can.

I have a RTX 3070 and an i7 10700K, and I am only getting 4 FPS with this enabled.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I found the answer to my questions. Here are 2 mods to modernize your operator's appearances:

I followed the instructions to reactivate 2D iron sights, however there are still multiple weapons missing iron sights (AKs, FAL, etc). Is there a fix, or is this just a feature gap we'll have to live with for now?

The mod is working pretty well so far. Thank you for this outstanding guide!

Quick question: my mod looks nothing like the screenshots. I'm missing the uber tacticool models for the CT operators, and also the graphics updates like DOF that are clearly visible in the screenshots. Are those features that I need to activate, or is that content from other mods not listed here? Thanks!

Glad to hear more Beta testing is on the way. Been watching you guys for 5 years. Good luck.

Looking forward to the demo. Good luck!

Thank you for letting us know what the difference is between the two versions of "Wrath of the Norsemen". I'm surprised that these description are more readily available on that page?

I simply cannot believe you made a mod that makes the medieval Finns a playable faction! What incredible work you've done! I looked for days to try and find a mod to play as the Finns with no luck, and people would just reply in forums "they weren't important, forget about it".

Once I finish my current campaign, I will download the Baltic release and be sure to give you my feedback, and also let the world know that it exists! Like I said, I scoured forums to try and find a mod like this. People need to know!

Haha, I'm trying but it takes so long!

Thanks Nygren.

Yes, I figured that they were Hordaland exclusive, however I have them at my capital, which is also a Royal Demsenes, however I'm still unable to recruit/train them?

Hey Nygren, 1 more thing that I'm having issues with: As Hordaland, I start with a lot of units than I cannot retrain. These include Atgeirrmen, Riddarmen, Bandar, and Naudgestir. According to their descriptions, they don't seem like they are mercenaries. Thanks for any advice you have :)

Thank you again for your reply, Nygren.

I forgot how unstable M2TW was. I haven't played in a few years. I'm actually impressed you and your predecessors where able to change this game so much and maintain stability!

Also, I hope none of my comments were taken personally or offensively, I am not one of those reviewers. I really just wanted to provide feedback, in case you were not aware of any of these issues. It sounds like I didn't tell you anything that you didn't know or anything that is possible to improve.

In regards to the original Wrath of the Norsemen mod, I had no idea that this content was taken from another mod. Thank you for sharing! I'm looking at the files now and I see that the only download currently available (other than the Baltic submod) is Aphain's "Regnum Francorum" submod. Is this the download that you recommend/is it significantly different than the version you created?

Also, in regards to music, I completely understand that you had to use shortened clips for copyright reasons. However, if you're interested, I'd be happy to recommend more songs from which you can take pieces from.

In regards to copyrighting, however, I've been told that game modding is excluded from copyright law, unless you are making money from your work. Is this not the case? For example, I've played dozens of Star Wars mods that use full-length music from the movies, and these mods have existed for years without copyright claims. I'm just curious if there is more to this issue?

I just reached turn 19 on my 2nd campaign attempt. Once again, at turn 19, my upkeep increases by 2,000 (from 4,800 to 6,800) for no reason whatsoever. I have not recruited any new units, nor removed any units from garrison. This is a very frustrating bug, but hopefully I can survive this time.

UPDATE:

I just found 3 new generals that spawn with a few units each in the S. of Norway. I have no idea where these guys came from. And unfortunately, you cannot disband generals.

Thanks for the reply man!

Currently, as Hordaland, you start with a 1,000 loss every turn due to upkeep. The only way I'm able to survive in the game right now is to raid (I define "raiding" as sacking towns, and then destroying buildings for money, then pulling out all my troops and letting the town revolt after a few turns). I've never played TW like this before, but after I saw that it worked, I assumed it's how you meant it to be played. After I disbanded about 1/3rd of my elite army in Dublin, to fix the upkeep bleed, I sacked all of Ireland's towns, and am sacking England's coast on the way back to Norway to replenish troops.

I also want to give positive feedback. The game really is fun to play. I love the Norse art design, the music, and the voice acting for the Viking characters! The Viking units are also very detailed, incredibly powerful, and fun to play as! I can't believe you also included Suomi (sami) warriors! What a great touch.

Other things to fix:
-Hordaland units use a bugged German voice about 1/20 times, the diplomat is even worse, about half the time.
-Battles are crashing about 1/5 times.
-Autosave is buggy. Occassionally, loading an autosave will crash the game.
-I do agree with other players that not all units types should be available immediately at the start of the game, at least for the sake of fun through progress (historically, having all the units available at 860 AD IS accurate, so I'll give you that). HOWEVER the fact that I have elite units sacking IRELAND, and taking minimal losses, is the only reason my faction has survived 10+ turns.
-The music is excellent (Helvegen by Wardruna has been stuck in my head for days). If you add a few more songs, this would be awesome as the loop seems short right now.

I haven't watched those shows either, I'm only interested in historically accurate movies. But, my wife is a Norwegian-American, so I've kind of married the culture, as well as the greatest woman on Earth ;)

Thanks for taking my feedback, Nygren.

I'm loving the mod so far!

However, I'm getting brutalized on normal difficulty as Hordaland. I've been playing Total War for 8 years, so I'm not new at this either. The income level is insanely low and the upkeep is impossibly high.

Since my total upkeep jumps from 6,000 to 8,000 for no reason at turn 20 (I have recruited no new units, and I have no lost any cities/buildings either) I'm going to have to restart the campaign.

I'm sorry you couldn't finish. Thank you for sharing your files. Perhaps someone will be able to help finish the work one day. Best of luck to you with your personal issues.

I'm loving the mod guys. My biggest feedback:

1: For the pistol, the delay between clicking fire and the pistol firing makes it significantly harder to use. It seems like it was meant to extenuate the hammer dropping on the pistol however, in real life, the hammer drops so quickly you don't even see it (I am a shooter, trust me on this).

2. The pornographic graffiti is really off putting. I'm not demanding that its removed, but it would really be nice to have an option to remove it in the "configurator.exe".

Unlike other, I'm not going to sit here and bash a mod that is 100% free and honestly the only thing making this game relevant over a decade later. Overall, this is great work, and I thank you for the years of labor put into this. Ignore the haters.

I love how many magazines and kit this guy has on the back of his plate carrier. At least his buddies can pillage his **** after he gets killed because he couldn't reach any of it.

That's awesome! I can't believe I never found that!!

Thank you very much :D

You have done such a great job with this mod, and you've supported it for so long. Thank you.

I would love to find other people interested in playing multiplayer.

Still enjoying this mod, 6 years after I found it.

My only request is to have more control over what role the enemy bots choose before solo battles. Currently they always choose armor, and just blowing up tanks gets boring after a while.

Thanks again so much for this amazing content. Please let us know how we can donate to the project.

If only the dev would have updated the mod through the development of the game. Now all this work has been made useless :(
