COMPLETE BYZANTINE UNIT ROSTER PROJECT MOD

The XL mod has a fantastic 29 playable factions: 18 Catholic, 5 Eastern Orthodox, 4 Muslim, and 2 Pagan. Mainly posting this to show the overview. It adds a bunch of new playable factions (along with new units for said factions), re-balances the game to (somewhat) improve the campaign AI, while also making the game a bit more historically authentic. It's long been my favorite mod for MTW/VI, as it overhauls the game, while still keeping the vanilla feel.

We'll see if I still have any aptitude for it my sincere apologies in advance if it turns out I don't.ДЄs you can perhaps tell from the above, I'm playing with the XL Mod installed. We all know how games can make for some terrific stories, if only they could be properly translated into words and while I'm no wordsmith, I do enjoy telling stories. In addition to not having sat down to play the game in a while, it's also been ages (years, probably) since I've attempted an AAR, and for whatever reason(s), I'm feeling inspired to try again. ) There are just so many things about MTW/VI that always just suck me into the game-world when I'm playing it - the music, the sound effects, the art style (I absolutely love the hand-drawn campaign maps!) - in a way that very few other games I've played have achieved.ДЄnyway, enough gushing/prattling.

(It's probably only fair to mention that I also have a great fondness for Rome II, Thrones of Britannia, and Warhammer II. Despite its age, simpler campaign, and less-than-friendly combat controls, the game remains my favorite entry in the series, even if it isn't the 'best' one anymore. So the last few days I've had a growing craving to dive back into the original Medieval: Total War/Viking Invasion.
