As a mod the Deluge is outstanding. The latest update is packed full of new features, including naval combat. The Deluge is a tour de force on what a skilled mod team can achieve.
As a long term follower of this mod, from it's last update, through 2 & 1/2 years waiting, the update has everything I could have asked for from the team - and more. This is the go-to multiplayer mod for Warband.
This mod is frankly superb. I don't know what else I can say on top of what everyone else has already said but frankly this is the finest CoH mod I've played. I am looking forward eagerly to the inclusion of other armies, especially the French, and more maps.
Vikingr effectively takes Warbands Native multiplayer and rips it apart, putting it back together in the mod teams vision and adding in a few bits on the way. In short Vikingr is well balanced, beautiful and very well put together. In long...see below;
I came to the mod jaded with Native's MP, getting tired of the spamathon that existed of archers & cavalry, the constant two-handed weapon 'swing-spam' performed by one-and-all. Vikingr was a last ditch attempt to have a go at multiplayer. After just a few matches it refired my lust to play Warband again, so much so that I now lead a Vikingr Clan and eagerly play the mod at least three times a week for as many hours as I can cram in.
The dedication of the mod team, their eagerness for feedback, to explain changes in patches and desire to bring a high-quality mod to people is outstanding. Not to be forgotten by far are the brilliant models & textures made for the mod, from the beauty of the langsaex to the glorious Rus mail armour. The maps, made with Polished Landscapes, are outstanding and with the new fog effect the atmosphere is superb.
On top of this the Community are a friendly group, eager to support the mod in any way they can, whether its historical research, texturing or mapping.
Best way to find out more is to play the mod itself! It's quite different to Native and might take a little while to get used to but it's worth playing.
