Shieldwall Song: VC Overhaul mod for Mount & Blade: Warband - Viking Conquest

Shieldwall Song (previously named Armor Mod) is a total conversion rework for Viking Conquest that merges new gameplay mechanics such as freelancer, alongside new armors, visuals, settlements scenes, and animations having also integrated all the submods and addons made by the community such as Balance Mod 13, expanding the roleplay experience in countless ways. I recommend playing this with WSE2, to see a guide on how to implement it and in case you want to see more advances and discuss future changes you can join the discord standalone mod server (link available in the description)
