I like both but, theyre not exactly the same story. One is a high fantasy hero's journey with clear defined good evil, and the other one is a low fantasy political drama with morally grey characters and a historically inspired world.

Just a minor correction: The Triple Alcance war is not about Paraguay Independence. They were independent and it was not threaten. It started with Paraguay invasion of Brazil and later Argentina with the motivation of helping a party of the Uruguayan civil war. Paraguay was the aggressor on the war.
Prophesy of Pendor has many unique quests, unique spawns, a knighthood system, great music, various factions with detailed lore, and OP units. It's one of the most polished mods I've ever seen, so I rarely encounter bugs or issues. Also, if I remember correctly, the creators of Perisno were inspired by PoP. If you want an easy start, there's an option in the PoP wiki tweaks that gives you some of the best units in the game and a good amount of gold. Its wiki page is also great. I think you should give it another try.
honestly i think its too hard for this dude and i don't mean that as an insult. its a mod where you really can sink 50-1k hours into and this guy would rather run around in ridiculous battles being overpowered (which is fair)
@@feluto7172 I remember my first time playing PoP. I had over 100 troops, then ran into a small group of Noldor. What happened next was a complete massacre. I still enjoy this mod and play it occasionally.

@@TerryDuke Assuming we're including the LOTR and ASOIAF books. I still don't understand why people call the LOTR characters too simple, and say that they are either good or bad and that Tolkien didn't write complex grey characters when characters like Boromir, Gollum, Faenor and his sons exist, and it's not like ASOIAF doesn't have clear cut Villains. Most of the Freys, Ramsey and Roose Bolton, the Ironborn (A culture built entirely on raiding and pillaging), Tywin and Cersei (What Tywin did to Tysha alone makes him a irredeemable villain IMO, but there's alot of equally worse things he's done, and Cersei is, well Cersei,) Gregor Clegane and his "Mountain's men", the Brave Companions (Vargo and CO), Joffrey, the Dothraki, I could go on but I think that's enough, ASOIAF definitely has pure evil villains, and it arguably has some heroes too, Brienne, Septon Meribald, Maester Aemon, Edmure Tully (Can't think of anything bad Edmure's done), Sam, Davos, Beric Dondarrion.
@@TerryDukedid you use AI to generate that? I get that it's your opinion but it seems like you're just saying whatever comes to your mind to smart. People talk for hours about just the languages alone. A single man created actual languages, people loved the books and they came out long before Peter Jackson was making the films. You try to blame it on something but it's not nostalgia or something stupid. You just don't like it, which is fine. You don't have to act like people have brain damage because they like LOTR. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you need to come with a made Up shit to justify why other people could somehow like it.
Prophesy of Pendor is probably the best mod of all gaming to be honest. I like playing Perisno a lot more, but Pendor is polished better than most AAA releases. It’s in the same category as Enderal for me, I’m just amazed it actually exists and is made by non paid modders.
I feel you're really selling 108 Heroes short. It's one of the better mods I've played in terms of new features that don't feel overwhelming. Its by far the best of the Chinese inspired mods.
Aut Caesar Aut Nihil is probably one of the most underrated mods glad to see you rank it so high, some really fun quest storylines (And some ridiculous ones *cough camel cough*) such as the Praetorian Guard quests which are actually quite long and well made, only downside of the mod IMO is that there are quite a lot spelling/grammatical mistakes which is fairly minor (And sometimes hilarious) but can be annoying after awhile.
I played 108 heroes and It was a mod that I enjoyed playing the most, i really liked additional rpg system and I need more warband mods that expand or add more leveling systems
Chronicles of Might and Magic is quite a faithful representation of "Heroes of might and magic 3". All of the units, locations, equipment and town sceneries are amazingly recreated. Glad you enjoyed it, even without knowledge of the main game.
I tried it a while back. While I enjoyed it at first, I quickly lost my enamorment for it when my huge army encountered less than a dozen titans and got absolutely destroyed lol. It's more digestible in might and magic lol Probably the same feeling people who poopoo morrowind's combat, have.
I have been playing that mod for awhile. But on later days (around say 150 or so) my game crashes consistently past a certain point. I suspect it might have something to do with too many "objects" spawning on the map (as they are programmed to spawn non-stop). I haven't been able to find a fix for it. Do you guys any way to tweak that setting in the game files?
@@alexanderrahl7034well, that's honestly gameplay accurate to heroes 3, the game it is based on. 10 titans ARE supposed to be worth more than 500 low tier units. But funny enough, they're easily takeable with archers in this mod. You should give it another go imo.
This is a very good video and probably the best comprehensive warband mod review video considering almost 90 mods are covered. This video also made me aware of the existence of Struggle for the Iliac Bay and 457 AD. You even have Suvarnabhumi Mahayuth in there which I think is a very unknown and underrated mod because it touches on a region of the world video games rarely explore.
11:37 that war was NOT a war for indipendence, it was a war started by a man (paraguayan man) that thought he was the next napoleon (he wasnt) so he invaded his neighbors.
Man, I remember playing modded warband like 8-10 years ago, it was so much fun. I remember a fantasy mod that was quite popular since I downloaded it off the like recommended/front page of a modding site, but it seems I don't see it in this video. But I remember playing Roman mods, Perisno, and many more, damn were they great. Good video man!
What I got from this video: - You don't like mods that improve on the base game - You're objectively wrong about LotR - You don't like working for things and want a mod to give you everything at the start - You're a massive weeb - You prefer playing as female characters
- It's not the I don't like them per se, but there's so many of them that when compared to mods who went through effort of creating entire new worlds with everything in them, native + mods feel repetitive and a bit underwhelming. - I don't believe you can talk about art "objectively", but I do find it funny how a lot of people take my dislike of LOTR so personally. - There's working for things, and there's pointless grind. Not the same, and the prime reason I'm not big on Pendor, but enjoy the unique quests of Perisno. - Calling me a "weeb" is a weird, given I don't watch anime, don't read mangas, in fact I hardly play or watch anything related to the japanese media. I enjoyed one mod with an anime aesthetic, and people told me I couldn't even pronounce the name correctly, and for you that immediately translates to massive weeb? I wouldn't care if I was one, but it just seems inaccurate. - That I do, for the past couple of years. I think we all have a similar template for characters we create in RPGs, mine used to be for the longest time, a man called "Bayard", after a famous French Knight. That was my Paladin in Diablo 2, and countless Warband warriors back when I played the game, long before I had my channel. Now it's the black goddess Skylar, which, if you see enough of my videos, you'll notice she tends to appear in lots of mods, for lots of different games. ;)
@@TerryDuke @TerryDuke - That's fair. - I do believe there's objectivity in art, but peoples tastes are subjective. Admittedly, I was being a tad facetious with it. You're well within your right to not like it, but you also have to respect it and Tolkien for being the father of modern fantasy since it inspired most of it, including Game of Thrones. Though I think this is basically the "Star Wars vs. Star Trek" of fantasy. - - Ultimately, I think both of these highlight a problem with your list, that being they should have been in their own categories and not numbered, sort of as an honorable mentions. - I understand the difference, I've not played either extensively, so I have no dog in the fight. That said, my comment comes almost purely from you mentioning cheat menus several times in the video. - People aren't calling you a weeb because you listed one anime mod, you actually listed several, it's because the ANIME mod you listed, least in the footage you showed, looked aweful, like anime mascot heads plastered over basic warband bodies, with very little actually changed. Another anime mod you listed was Berserk, though Berserk is amazing, and I can recommend it to people who don't like anime. It's also likely because you have several of the historical Asian mods listed very highly, which yes are separate, but people won't see them that way after the anime mods. - Fair enough, I was mostly making a joke with this one.
This game is like the perfect canvas for someone who has an autistic fixation to a specific period and location in history. Broken or not it's amazing how dedicated modders of this game can be
36:41 M&B WFaS actually has it's own soundtrack you can even find it on youtube. It had to be removed or something because if you have the game on CD from when it was first released you can normally hear it in game (or at least that's how i remember it from 2011)
You might have neglected how insane Between Empire's empire management mechanics are. They basically turned Mount and Blade into Victoria 2 / 3 and it doesn't seem like that should be possible. There's no way that the AI plays the same game but I could be wrong... its amazing either way.
Your channel got me back into Warband, and I have been playing Between Empires because of it. For those interested in playing, Between Empires as a very slow and empty early game, massive camapaign and battle map, but a very fleshed out late game/kingdom management. Highly reccomended if you enjoy observing battles and doing kingdom management.
Thanks for the video. Very interesting. I also like Perisno, with Prophecy of Pendor being a close second or even joint first. Though I do like Lord of the Rings, I wasn't keen on the mod.
Amazing tierlist! I really enjoyed watching it. I'm glad that Touhou Gensokyo Warfare got a well-deserved place so high up the ranking. The mod has become my favorite for sure. Moonrabbits with fully automatic guns being charged by heavily armored Oni (demon) infantry and flying Hellravens, it's a wild experience. Not to mention that while some lords are just lower monsters or spirits, some of them are legendary champions or even outright gods and wow they fight like that too, sometimes with unique abilities to boot, which makes for very interesting fights that you find nowhere else.
This is a well done video, I appreciate listing all the mods like this. Although your opinions on LotR and Pendor are bad, bottom of the barrel even, and you should feel bad for having them, but otherwise, pretty good.
Ive been very curious about the warband mods out there cause i constantly kept seeing some crazy ass stuff constantly, and im very happy to see how much this community puts effort into it Should i play the game again in the future this video will be a point of reffrence for me
Oh dam I can't believe you did Tohlobaria dirty like that, it's by far the best looking mod imo and the few story lines are actually really cool and the way you gain companions is cooooool.
for me prophesy of pendor is my favourite mod for warband. and it always held a special place for me. have been playing it for a very long time and but yeah i get where ya coming from also blood and steel is one of my favourite mods. haven't heard anyone talk about it in ages
World of Vasnar got so many Cool mechanics with Necro Alchemy, to becoming a Lich or joining the Cult of the deep it deserved at least top 10. Especially when you consider how many different Factions there are where you actually can see distinct Faction feelings. Especially the Deep. Great video tho :)
great video. wish you the best on your internet career I personally find The Last Days of the Third Age to be a masterpiece. It is the game I dreamed of as a kid. But I see my own biases lol
Paradigm worlds is so fucking funny. I laughed at the fact that the cyborg zombies scream in the old internet signal sound as well as old phone number input
I understand that you dont include multiplayer mods, but from my experience (95% of time I spend on Warband was multiplayer) I can say that the Deluge is one of the most polished mod I have ever played on WB and also had gigantic variety like working wagons, ships, cannons, great events and so on. And also another great mod was Full invasion 2, which was actually the biggest crossover for M&B modding universe. Until Full invasion osiris came out and cut 4/5 of factions from mod.... And last but not least, a various Persistent mods. They were basically a sandbox. My personal favourite was frontier for setting and full of chaos and randomness.
#10 Napoleonic Wars #9 Warsword Conquest #8 Aut Caesar Aut Nihil #7 Sparta #6 With Fire And Sword #5 Gekokujo #4 The Last Days #3 In The Name Of Jerusalem #2 A Clash Of Kings #1 Viking Conquest
triple allience war was not about Paraguay independence. Paraguay went full kaliyuga war against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. almost 93% of the Paraguay male population die during that war
I know it's just a matter of preferences but I still find this pretty funny every time it happens in the video: Mod X: "Some stuff is locked behind progression/feature/new system. I can't rate this mod higher." Mod Y couple of entries later: "...but if you cheat, it's good!"
Well generally something that is locked by design cant be cheated, that's the main difference. I usually cheat to level up quickly or survive OP units and armies.
While I agree with that in general, I have to disagree with the "can't be cheated". Cheating, and even more so with the current in-game & out-of-game tools available for Warband, makes the circumventing most cases of the "gameplay locks" pretty.. not really trivial but "easy enough". OFC it'll take more time if the user is not familiar with what to do/look for but still; 1h of trial&error is always faster than 5h of normal gameplay grind. This makes, IMO, the entire point about locked content or new systems slowing progression being bad moot as having to cheat around them isn't really a problem. And I'm not even talking about "modding the mods" themselves here, just to be clear on that.
Nova Aetas for me will always be my favorite Warband mod although of course it is not without it's bugs and flaws. I've never played another Warband mod where you could place your own buildings and walls and stuff down though and upgrade them over time. You could even place down your own castle anywhere on the main land and build it up which I thought was super cool. Blood & Steel I also still remember although eventually my army was just insanely OP and I won every siege from a far with some grenade rifle unit that would just instantly wipe out everything stood on the walls lol.
Hey Terry the American civil war revived mod dont have smoke coming out when firing the muskets. I also tried redownloading the mod but the issue persists
55:00 I tried that Touhou mod, and while it isn't my cup of tea, the cartoon aesthetic works really well. Makes me wonder why more mods didn't go that route.
I was expecting Touhou mod to be on Good with either "reduntant" or "not my taste" considering the anime models looking like a giant costumes. Gensokyo set in pocket dimension that was created to preserve all magical from humans who stoped fearing or beliving in it. Mod's map shows different regions based of different locations of the series, but on the surface (underground and hell suppose to be underground, but it's how mod realised it.). Factions and citizens are basically humans or youkais(based of the region) and have different stats where some better at something then other (oni's are best at melee while lunar corps rabbits have muscets(they are technologically more advance on the moon then Gensokyo)).
I wonder which one is better for fantasy playthrough Perisno or Wasword Conquest. IK both are different but I wonder which one gives way more new features. Warsword conquest has me hooked especially with the Huge monster add on but I always wondered about Perisno
I'm interested to know why you rank Perisno so far above PoP. In my gameplay experience they both wall you off from the cool and OP stuff for a while, I can agree that PoP takes much longer to get rolling but imo both are very unforgiving in getting past the starting stage of the game so I don't see too much of a difference in that regard. I also think that having both ASoIaF mods so far up feels like it goes against your own categories, imo they should occupy the same spot as one is just a hardcore version of the other, but as you said the list is subjective.
Well again, it's based on experience, and how one is much grindier than the other. Like if you want to get started right away in Perisno, you go straight to tournaments, and they pay a lot. PoP? First you gotta increase your renown, and even then the reward is roughly the same as native. You want to get started on a unique quest in Perisno? Just gotta know where they start, and you can get through it right away. PoP? Well that one guy will tell you where to find a Qualis Gem, but first, gotta raise your relation with the town to 15 doing native quests for the guild master, then you gotta pay him a fortune. When you attack a large party in Perisno, you get the loot right away. PoP? You better have prisoner management skills because if the party leader escapes, gotta wait for him to respawn to do it all over again. As I've said, it's about the experience. Blood & Steel isn't nearly as polished as PoP, but if it just aims for massive, brainless fun, and succeeds, that's a W for me. If PoP is massive and ambitious, but makes everything unnecessarily complicated, that's an L for me. As for AWOIAF and ACOK, I do usually put them in the same spot, I have when I first ranked them, and in another video last month I did as well. However, putting them side to side for the experience alone, I prefer AWOIAF for having overall a better campaign. ACOK is immersive for sure, but the campaign feels very native-ish. And both mods have the same quality and their respective unique quests, so really you could go either way based on your playing style, and for my play style, AWOIAF is better for the most part.
What I hated about persino is I could be in full plate armor and some peasants punches me my attack is canceled and I stagger everytime I'm hot no way to turn it off absolute deal breaker
@@ismovirtanen7225 first time I hear of these. But as I said to others, if your mod wasnt brought up in the past 2 years of making videos, then it's probably not that noteworthy.

Hell, I'll even take the Warcraft movie over lord of the rings. For all of its problems, it still made the orcs more interesting and sympathetic, which makes it possible for people to side with either races.
@@TerryDuke Assuming we're including the LOTR and ASOIAF books. I still don't understand why people call the LOTR characters too simple, and say that they are either good or bad and that Tolkien didn't write complex grey characters when characters like Boromir, Gollum, Faenor and his sons exist, and it's not like ASOIAF doesn't have clear cut Villains.
Most of the Freys, Ramsey and Roose Bolton, the Ironborn (A culture built entirely on raiding and pillaging), Tywin and Cersei (What Tywin did to Tysha alone makes him a irredeemable villain IMO, but there's alot of equally worse things he's done, and Cersei is, well Cersei,) Gregor Clegane and his "Mountain's men", the Brave Companions (Vargo and CO), Joffrey, the Dothraki, I could go on but I think that's enough, ASOIAF definitely has pure evil villains, and it arguably has some heroes too, Brienne, Septon Meribald, Maester Aemon, Edmure Tully (Can't think of anything bad Edmure's done), Sam, Davos, Beric Dondarrion.
@@TerryDukedid you use AI to generate that? I get that it's your opinion but it seems like you're just saying whatever comes to your mind to smart. People talk for hours about just the languages alone. A single man created actual languages, people loved the books and they came out long before Peter Jackson was making the films. You try to blame it on something but it's not nostalgia or something stupid. You just don't like it, which is fine. You don't have to act like people have brain damage because they like LOTR. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you need to come with a made Up shit to justify why other people could somehow like it.

ok but whens the next warband mod video
Someone's looking for a fight ;)
Prophesy of Pendor is probably the best mod of all gaming to be honest. I like playing Perisno a lot more, but Pendor is polished better than most AAA releases. It’s in the same category as Enderal for me, I’m just amazed it actually exists and is made by non paid modders.
I feel you're really selling 108 Heroes short. It's one of the better mods I've played in terms of new features that don't feel overwhelming. Its by far the best of the Chinese inspired mods.
Seconded this. Mind reading missions are very tough but fun.
Damn, you probably even liked the GoT season 8.
@@iravenbg hold on now
@@TerryDuke lol
Not liking LOTR should be a warcrime
Aut Caesar Aut Nihil is probably one of the most underrated mods glad to see you rank it so high, some really fun quest storylines (And some ridiculous ones *cough camel cough*) such as the Praetorian Guard quests which are actually quite long and well made, only downside of the mod IMO is that there are quite a lot spelling/grammatical mistakes which is fairly minor (And sometimes hilarious) but can be annoying after awhile.
The treasures of Sussus Amogus...
I played 108 heroes and It was a mod that I enjoyed playing the most, i really liked additional rpg system and I need more warband mods that expand or add more leveling systems
Always glad to see your warband videos
Did you say that you will make more warband mods ?? cool ,iam excited !!!
People just love to torture me dont they
I havent played warband in many years, but its very cool to see mods keep getting released and updated and improving.
Warband is love. Warband is life
Chronicles of Might and Magic is quite a faithful representation of "Heroes of might and magic 3". All of the units, locations, equipment and town sceneries are amazingly recreated. Glad you enjoyed it, even without knowledge of the main game.
I tried it a while back. While I enjoyed it at first, I quickly lost my enamorment for it when my huge army encountered less than a dozen titans and got absolutely destroyed lol.
It's more digestible in might and magic lol
Probably the same feeling people who poopoo morrowind's combat, have.
I have been playing that mod for awhile. But on later days (around say 150 or so) my game crashes consistently past a certain point. I suspect it might have something to do with too many "objects" spawning on the map (as they are programmed to spawn non-stop). I haven't been able to find a fix for it. Do you guys any way to tweak that setting in the game files?
@@alexanderrahl7034well, that's honestly gameplay accurate to heroes 3, the game it is based on. 10 titans ARE supposed to be worth more than 500 low tier units. But funny enough, they're easily takeable with archers in this mod. You should give it another go imo.
This is a very good video and probably the best comprehensive warband mod review video considering almost 90 mods are covered. This video also made me aware of the existence of Struggle for the Iliac Bay and 457 AD. You even have Suvarnabhumi Mahayuth in there which I think is a very unknown and underrated mod because it touches on a region of the world video games rarely explore.
Been waiting for war band video forever
In one day that should happen. One of the most biggest compilations/reviews of Warband modifications in World Web

@@odd3820 🫠
Man, I remember playing modded warband like 8-10 years ago, it was so much fun. I remember a fantasy mod that was quite popular since I downloaded it off the like recommended/front page of a modding site, but it seems I don't see it in this video.
But I remember playing Roman mods, Perisno, and many more, damn were they great. Good video man!
Idk why but I don't think I got notified about this video. Would not have seen it without your community post.
Good thing i made the post too then!
Nice video m8 , thanks for the rankings helps out to find new mods to enjoy
What I got from this video:
- You don't like mods that improve on the base game
- You're objectively wrong about LotR
- You don't like working for things and want a mod to give you everything at the start
- You're a massive weeb
- You prefer playing as female characters
What’s wrong with wanting to play as a female character tho
@gex_fan Just an observation. And technically, in native warband it makes the game more interesting.
- It's not the I don't like them per se, but there's so many of them that when compared to mods who went through effort of creating entire new worlds with everything in them, native + mods feel repetitive and a bit underwhelming.
- I don't believe you can talk about art "objectively", but I do find it funny how a lot of people take my dislike of LOTR so personally.
- There's working for things, and there's pointless grind. Not the same, and the prime reason I'm not big on Pendor, but enjoy the unique quests of Perisno.
- Calling me a "weeb" is a weird, given I don't watch anime, don't read mangas, in fact I hardly play or watch anything related to the japanese media. I enjoyed one mod with an anime aesthetic, and people told me I couldn't even pronounce the name correctly, and for you that immediately translates to massive weeb? I wouldn't care if I was one, but it just seems inaccurate.
- That I do, for the past couple of years. I think we all have a similar template for characters we create in RPGs, mine used to be for the longest time, a man called "Bayard", after a famous French Knight. That was my Paladin in Diablo 2, and countless Warband warriors back when I played the game, long before I had my channel. Now it's the black goddess Skylar, which, if you see enough of my videos, you'll notice she tends to appear in lots of mods, for lots of different games. ;)
@@TerryDuke @TerryDuke
- That's fair.
- I do believe there's objectivity in art, but peoples tastes are subjective. Admittedly, I was being a tad facetious with it. You're well within your right to not like it, but you also have to respect it and Tolkien for being the father of modern fantasy since it inspired most of it, including Game of Thrones. Though I think this is basically the "Star Wars vs. Star Trek" of fantasy.
- - Ultimately, I think both of these highlight a problem with your list, that being they should have been in their own categories and not numbered, sort of as an honorable mentions.
- I understand the difference, I've not played either extensively, so I have no dog in the fight. That said, my comment comes almost purely from you mentioning cheat menus several times in the video.
- People aren't calling you a weeb because you listed one anime mod, you actually listed several, it's because the ANIME mod you listed, least in the footage you showed, looked aweful, like anime mascot heads plastered over basic warband bodies, with very little actually changed. Another anime mod you listed was Berserk, though Berserk is amazing, and I can recommend it to people who don't like anime. It's also likely because you have several of the historical Asian mods listed very highly, which yes are separate, but people won't see them that way after the anime mods.
- Fair enough, I was mostly making a joke with this one.
This game is like the perfect canvas for someone who has an autistic fixation to a specific period and location in history. Broken or not it's amazing how dedicated modders of this game can be
36:41 M&B WFaS actually has it's own soundtrack you can even find it on youtube. It had to be removed or something because if you have the game on CD from when it was first released you can normally hear it in game (or at least that's how i remember it from 2011)
I have Steam version and it had new soundtrack. I even played it quite recently and was still there
You might have neglected how insane Between Empire's empire management mechanics are. They basically turned Mount and Blade into Victoria 2 / 3 and it doesn't seem like that should be possible.
There's no way that the AI plays the same game but I could be wrong... its amazing either way.
I needed this, we have been graced today
Your channel got me back into Warband, and I have been playing Between Empires because of it. For those interested in playing, Between Empires as a very slow and empty early game, massive camapaign and battle map, but a very fleshed out late game/kingdom management. Highly reccomended if you enjoy observing battles and doing kingdom management.
Thanks for the video. Very interesting. I also like Perisno, with Prophecy of Pendor being a close second or even joint first. Though I do like Lord of the Rings, I wasn't keen on the mod.
Amazing tierlist! I really enjoyed watching it.
I'm glad that Touhou Gensokyo Warfare got a well-deserved place so high up the ranking.
The mod has become my favorite for sure. Moonrabbits with fully automatic guns being charged by heavily armored Oni (demon) infantry and flying Hellravens, it's a wild experience.
Not to mention that while some lords are just lower monsters or spirits, some of them are legendary champions or even outright gods and wow they fight like that too, sometimes with unique abilities to boot, which makes for very interesting fights that you find nowhere else.
Thank you, your video is God sent
This is a well done video, I appreciate listing all the mods like this. Although your opinions on LotR and Pendor are bad, bottom of the barrel even, and you should feel bad for having them, but otherwise, pretty good.
Ive been very curious about the warband mods out there cause i constantly kept seeing some crazy ass stuff constantly, and im very happy to see how much this community puts effort into it
Should i play the game again in the future this video will be a point of reffrence for me
Great video overall. And as far as I know "The Gathering Storm" mod is on NexusMods.
So it is, but I remember looking it up before. Maybe I'm misremembering and it was actually crashing.
Oh dam I can't believe you did Tohlobaria dirty like that, it's by far the best looking mod imo and the few story lines are actually really cool and the way you gain companions is cooooool.
for me prophesy of pendor is my favourite mod for warband. and it always held a special place for me. have been playing it for a very long time and but yeah i get where ya coming from also blood and steel is one of my favourite mods. haven't heard anyone talk about it in ages
Love this vid soo muchhh.. Anywayss when is the next warband mod video? 😅
Up your ass 😂
Eagle and the Radiant Cross was a good mod for OG M&B but yeah the port to Warband was imperfect and resulted in the bugs that you see :(
Amazing job! Thanks.
World of Vasnar got so many Cool mechanics with Necro Alchemy, to becoming a Lich or joining the Cult of the deep it deserved at least top 10. Especially when you consider how many different Factions there are where you actually can see distinct Faction feelings. Especially the Deep. Great video tho :)
Rest in peace warband mods videos 😔🤚
Great video and swan song to your Mnb videos
Can’t wait to play all these mods when I get my new computer, goodbye Xbox warband you have been good

I personally find The Last Days of the Third Age to be a masterpiece. It is the game I dreamed of as a kid. But I see my own biases lol
Dont feel bad, awoiaf ranks high for the same bias 😄 appreciate the support!

No more Warband videos… 😢
Will you rank the mods from the original M&B ?
@@mrbigspheres_43 nope, i never played it
I understand that you dont include multiplayer mods, but from my experience (95% of time I spend on Warband was multiplayer) I can say that the Deluge is one of the most polished mod I have ever played on WB and also had gigantic variety like working wagons, ships, cannons, great events and so on.
And also another great mod was Full invasion 2, which was actually the biggest crossover for M&B modding universe. Until Full invasion osiris came out and cut 4/5 of factions from mod....
And last but not least, a various Persistent mods. They were basically a sandbox. My personal favourite was frontier for setting and full of chaos and randomness.
can you make a big perisno lets play series ? it would be awesome
I actually did a live stream series last year, you can still see them. Didnt keep up with it though.
I loved Fantasy Calradia. There's this one spell that's akin to firing a Shotgun of Magic Missiles. It trivialized most fights.

@@TerryDuke cheers
I know it's just a matter of preferences but I still find this pretty funny every time it happens in the video:
Mod X: "Some stuff is locked behind progression/feature/new system. I can't rate this mod higher."
Mod Y couple of entries later: "...but if you cheat, it's good!"
Well generally something that is locked by design cant be cheated, that's the main difference. I usually cheat to level up quickly or survive OP units and armies.
While I agree with that in general, I have to disagree with the "can't be cheated".
Cheating, and even more so with the current in-game & out-of-game tools available for Warband, makes the circumventing most cases of the "gameplay locks" pretty.. not really trivial but "easy enough". OFC it'll take more time if the user is not familiar with what to do/look for but still; 1h of trial&error is always faster than 5h of normal gameplay grind.
This makes, IMO, the entire point about locked content or new systems slowing progression being bad moot as having to cheat around them isn't really a problem.
And I'm not even talking about "modding the mods" themselves here, just to be clear on that.
Nova Aetas for me will always be my favorite Warband mod although of course it is not without it's bugs and flaws. I've never played another Warband mod where you could place your own buildings and walls and stuff down though and upgrade them over time. You could even place down your own castle anywhere on the main land and build it up which I thought was super cool. Blood & Steel I also still remember although eventually my army was just insanely OP and I won every siege from a far with some grenade rifle unit that would just instantly wipe out everything stood on the walls lol.
Hey Terry the American civil war revived mod dont have smoke coming out when firing the muskets. I also tried redownloading the mod but the issue persists

55:00 I tried that Touhou mod, and while it isn't my cup of tea, the cartoon aesthetic works really well.
Makes me wonder why more mods didn't go that route.
Damn your channel is unbelievably high quality☝️☝️
So question can you use warband mods in viking conquest reforged
I was expecting Touhou mod to be on Good with either "reduntant" or "not my taste" considering the anime models looking like a giant costumes. Gensokyo set in pocket dimension that was created to preserve all magical from humans who stoped fearing or beliving in it. Mod's map shows different regions based of different locations of the series, but on the surface (underground and hell suppose to be underground, but it's how mod realised it.). Factions and citizens are basically humans or youkais(based of the region) and have different stats where some better at something then other (oni's are best at melee while lunar corps rabbits have muscets(they are technologically more advance on the moon then Gensokyo)).
Oh so you like Warband? name every mod.

@@_aryan9924 do you mean native or modded?
The Last One. Criyng😭
Take a shot every time he says redundant.
what a glorious 1h of mods.. *all fallout 4 mods ranked next.*
That'd be cool but they're so different fundamentally.
I wonder which one is better for fantasy playthrough Perisno or Wasword Conquest. IK both are different but I wonder which one gives way more new features. Warsword conquest has me hooked especially with the Huge monster add on but I always wondered about Perisno
You should try Outsiders of Calradia! Its add a new faction along with some mechanics.
I'm interested to know why you rank Perisno so far above PoP. In my gameplay experience they both wall you off from the cool and OP stuff for a while, I can agree that PoP takes much longer to get rolling but imo both are very unforgiving in getting past the starting stage of the game so I don't see too much of a difference in that regard.
I also think that having both ASoIaF mods so far up feels like it goes against your own categories, imo they should occupy the same spot as one is just a hardcore version of the other, but as you said the list is subjective.
Well again, it's based on experience, and how one is much grindier than the other.
Like if you want to get started right away in Perisno, you go straight to tournaments, and they pay a lot. PoP? First you gotta increase your renown, and even then the reward is roughly the same as native.
You want to get started on a unique quest in Perisno? Just gotta know where they start, and you can get through it right away. PoP? Well that one guy will tell you where to find a Qualis Gem, but first, gotta raise your relation with the town to 15 doing native quests for the guild master, then you gotta pay him a fortune.
When you attack a large party in Perisno, you get the loot right away. PoP? You better have prisoner management skills because if the party leader escapes, gotta wait for him to respawn to do it all over again.
As I've said, it's about the experience. Blood & Steel isn't nearly as polished as PoP, but if it just aims for massive, brainless fun, and succeeds, that's a W for me. If PoP is massive and ambitious, but makes everything unnecessarily complicated, that's an L for me.
As for AWOIAF and ACOK, I do usually put them in the same spot, I have when I first ranked them, and in another video last month I did as well. However, putting them side to side for the experience alone, I prefer AWOIAF for having overall a better campaign. ACOK is immersive for sure, but the campaign feels very native-ish. And both mods have the same quality and their respective unique quests, so really you could go either way based on your playing style, and for my play style, AWOIAF is better for the most part.
@@TerryDuke Perfect answer, thank you!
What I hated about persino is I could be in full plate armor and some peasants punches me my attack is canceled and I stagger everytime I'm hot no way to turn it off absolute deal breaker
