We are BACK with a complete best mod for every historical total war game list (well except the original medieval and shogun), and by the GODS is it a blessed one! From the ancient era, to medieval times and far beyond to the realms of fantasy and Lord of the Rings, Total War modders have done an exceptional - nay - out-of-this-world job in creating grand strategy experiences unlike any other, that significantly improve these games and their longevity.

RTR: Imperium Surrectum, Medieval Kingdoms 1212, Pirates Uber Alles and SO MUCH MORE, we're truly spoiled for choices here. But the best part? Essentially all of these mods are still being worked on and updated to this day, and likely for years to come. And if you like what you've seen here today, I urge you to check them all out!

And of course, make sure to leave a like on the video, a comment with your thoughts, and subscribe to the channel :)

    Great War seems like too much of a buggy mess to be the best mod for Napoleon.
  • For Napoleon Total War, don't forget NTW3 as a MP mod (even if the campaign works well and does have some appreciated changes) and the Napoleon Era mod that allows to play basically any campaigns from the Revolution to 1815 (and with upcoming 18th and 19th century conflicts too)
  • @nubbyshober1283
    Great guide! Thank you! Thanks for introducing Medieval Kingdoms 1212 for Attila; and the updated version of Stainless Steel for M2TW; for which Broken Crescent should've gotten a runner-up award. I've been a fan of Dresden and his incomparable DEI mod for Rome2 since the beginning!
  • @basileusp5494
    Thanks for highlighting these mods. I will definitely be trying some of them especially the mods for Empire and Napoleon as I just purchased these two games. I will only play mods now as they are always better than the vanilla games. Modders deserve so much gratitude that they can never be thanked enough for their work!
  • @danthemantis3878
    Thanks for giving FCN a mention! We really appreciate it❤ Great War mod is absolutely amazing, and I would have to say for NTW there is too many great mods to set a number one for me personally, as it’s really down to personal opinion, what niche you enjoy more etc. Great video, and it’s always good to see what mods are best for each game because I never have a clue what to download haha
  • @mateusreis3728
    I asked you in one of your videos 1-2 years ago to give Shogun 2's Master of Strategy a try and you really did it. Glad to see your attention to your subscribers. The mod is really great. Nice video as expected!
  • Please list the mods for each game or create titles chapters. I don't know what the names of some of the mods are !
  • @Punggles
    Looks like I've got some mod downloading to do... excellent video and list!
  • @skaor8036
    Glad to see that Gilded Destiny has taken to ordering ads. The game looks like a good competitor to Paradox games. Would love to see more attention around it.
  • @diamondgaming63
    Third Age: Total War mod for Medieval 2 takes the top spot, no other mod even comes close.
  • @toddanderson6568
    Your best video yet. It is a really good summary of the series as to play unmodded would be unthinkable. I would recommend making this an annual video that includes any updated information such as the new time period for DEI in December. Including time stamps might be helpful, but I quibble.
  • Thank you for this. I’ve been playing total wars since shogun 1 and some of these I’ve never heard of.
  • @AaronM909
    This is my top list for mods that I love and will always come back to. Rome 2 total war. NEW WORLD - Alternate History Overhaul. Three Kingdoms total war. Chibi Start Date Shogun 2 total war. Fourstrider's Medieval 2 total war. 100% Broken Crescent there has never been a more better Crusader mod,
  • @midshipman8654
    I think a shout out should also go to tsardoms total war for medieval 2. both the 1300s version and 1400s version. beautiful models, really cool attention to detail, historical information, interesting scripts andmap gameplay and really fun battles.
  • I love how each of your games look. Would you make a video or maybe post a comment on your graphical mods and reshade for each game? thank youuuu
  • @oliverhughes610
    Can't really fault any of your choices for the games I've played. I would add another mod to the Shogun 2 list - the expanded Japan mod. The additional provinces and clans really adds a lot of depth to the experience and works with the other mods you mentioned. Worth mentioning as well that RTR:IS is a mix (in practice) of the original Rome Total Realism and Roma Surrectum mods for the original Rome Total War. RS3 is definitely my vote for the best mod of the og game.
  • @Smaugogo2b
    Fireforged empire for base game attila has his letter of nobless
  • @jereboy2005
    Theres a good amount of choices for Rome Remastered nowadays, which i love! I havent checked out that RTR mod in probably over a year. Sounds like its done good work! I never played it too much as i found their campaign map just a little too large for my attention span gameplay. But what you show here does make it seem like i should give it a check, at least play around with a greek faction for a bit.

    Tsardom for MTW II is also awsome, with tons of events about the fall of the Byzantine Empire
