Anyone willing to change ours into such a Viking Age map would be very welcome to do so however wouldn't it be a bit weird to not have Norway, Sweden and the Danish Isles on it at all? :)

Hey, the economy is always a WIP because of the high unit upkeep and the corresponding incompetence of the AI, lol.
There's tons of advantages the AI gets, but still some factions get boundless wealth while others go bankrupt...

Oh wow, thank you! Feel free to leave a review as well :P

Quietly working hard on more updates to increase the polish, btw.

Correct. I just uploaded a new version with a Mundus Magnus style map for that mod last night!

Hey guys, I just uploaded an improved version of the submod but with a huge new campaign map that took a full month's work to populate! Enjooooooy!

Certainly a fun suggestion but that would take thousands of turns to reach in-game, since the Ireland campaign is 12 turns per year and it starts 150 years before Norse arrival in Ireland :)
Maybe in a hotseat scenario?

True! The map would be easy to reuse in a British Isles scenario, however Viking raids from Ukraine to Spain wouldn't be feasible on that map.

Credits for our hugely optimized script must go to our scripter Belovèse who literally halved the amount of script monitors without cutting a single event!
Britain campaign is much more sandbox of course, so turn times are super fast, thankfully.

Yes, the smaller families and the 5-turns-per-year timespeed do pose a bit of a problem, I have to admit. I might have to add more family members to reduce the chance of game over due to no family :)

Thank you! I certainly love working on it. Viking Age... it's always interested me so much but I think it's been done too much. I want to do something much much earlier, like Bronze Age early :)

That's a totally different game and more than a decade difference in engine, modability, etc... I'm afraid I'll have to stick to M2TW :)

Thank you, Katzbalger!

Yup, that's me. But so far my attempts at importing DBM's anims have been unsuccessful. But if so I'll implement them as fast as I can.

If you want to fix the unit info pic you can find it in data/ui/unit_info/ximbroz/germans_axemen_info.tga and change its name to german_axe_warband_info.tga

Thanks for letting me know! I'll add it.

Thanks! That's what we're working towards.
Next update will have much more unique buildings, new siege engines, new unit cards, new battlemaps and new mounts. We're working hard at it, but it might take a while!

It's on the top of the page, labeled 'Homepage'.

... How to download? There's a file section of this mod page. Click the big red button that says 'Download'.

Just updated the file with the fixes

Hey thans!
I also have that problem but the battlemodel_db entry is sound and there should be no reason to suspect the textures... In any case, the Illyrians are a Europe Ancient addition, and not mine.

Hey! Thanks!
Come to the Discord server, we'll help you out.
Have you installed the 4GB Patch for M2TW? If not, install it as soon as you can :)
If you have, I don't know what else might help instead of reducing unit size and quality. We've got 'sprites' for all units and mounts so that shouldn't be a problem, and small unit size is recommended anyway.
Good luck!

The cfg file will be fixed in the next upload, but it seems I forgot about giving the Cimbrians ships :)

I'm on it!

Sadly, the main campaign isn't geared towards hotseat mode. I will most probably have to create a different descr_strat and campaign_script to make that possible. There's far too many essential scripts running to make HS a possibility.

Credits for their models must go to the excellent Scandinavian Heroic Age mod 'Wind of Scandia'.

Hey! They certainly do, but not in the sense that you can let them go berserk and that they're out of your control, like in RTW.

Most Germanic factions (I think all of them apart from the more Romanized Franks and Goths) have three types of 'heroic warrior cult' units: Bear-shirts, Wulf-hides and the Swine Array. They all have different specialties (Bear: melee strength, Wolf: speed and missiles, Boar: charge) and they can be recruited from higher tier religious buildings (the idea being that they are devoted to specific gods).

They aren't something to use as a regular unit in your field armies, but rather a novelty to break the enemy's lines by flanking or to scale a wall or be first through a gate and break whoever's defending it. They have very slow replenishment rate and the units are very small so they won't be ideal for every situation.

Go to the cfg file and change ‘windowed = true’ to ‘false’

And never rename this mod :)

Hey, this mod looks amazing and I'm itching to play it but whenever I extract it, I get a message of "Cannot extract: Archive file is incomplete" for literally every file in the mod. When I continue anyway the mod is 1.5MBs :)
Is there any other source I can download it from instead of moddb?

In the main mod info on the Summary page. On the right.

Welcome!

Your profile is set to private so I can’t send you a pm. Wanna contact me? Or, even better: wanna join our discord server?

hey, I've just tried your fonts! So can you just make any font for M2TW? Do you wanna help us make a unique yet accessible general font for the mod that we can incorporate into the main mod? Both your font pack and our own have some drawbacks, so if you could help me out we could create something that is easily readable, stylish AND fitting to the time period.
