Screenshots using the new battlemap environments image - Scandza: Total War mod for Rome: Total War

This modification-project strives to create a series of modifications focusing on Scandinavia in the Migration Period, a ruthless and unforgiving period when Germanic tribes broke up from their homelands. There have been many theories as to the reasons for this sudden time of unrest. The ancient historians wrote about tribes such as the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Franks, Burgundians, Langobards, and other such tribes. These tribes were the ones that invaded the Roman Empire, but those were not the only tribes searching for new lands. The Tribes that didn't invade Rome itself, the ones even further north of the borders, were not very interesting for the Roman scribes, and the few written sources are either vague or destroyed. These tribes were also in movement in this period, those are the tribes that I want to depict in this modification. It must be done in the most historically plausible way, while at the same time using the characters of legend to bring the lands of Scandza into life.
