Battles near Jonkaupangr - Wrath of the Norsemen: The Baltic: Factions United-Submod - Svitjod #04
1This episode became extremely short due to a gamelock in the second battle.. I don't know if it's the music-mod (as I'm using the un-cut version) that is causing this issue in battle in the Factions United sub-mod - which is based off of Regnum Francorum and the 3.5 mod - or if it's the M2TWEOP-tool causing it - I will try to continue but if this issue happens too often I'll have to re-implement the vanilla music and restart the campaign without using the tool (this would mean that the berserkirs and ulfhednars won't be using their berserker mental state in battle,) and hope that will fix the gamelock.
So in all Med2 mods the game can randomly gamelock rarely - but if it happens too often then something is off.
The release doesn't have the tool as I added that to play with real "berserkirs" after uploading the mod.
I'm starting a new Let's Play as the Svitjod-faction in the mod Wrath of the Norsemen: The Baltic: Factions United - a sub-mod of WotN: The Baltic - which itself is a total overhaul mod for the PC-game Medieval II: Total War released in 2006 and its expansion "Kingdoms" released in 2007.
The mod takes the original game set in 11th Century Medieval Europe and where you pick a faction to play as and then the aim is to conquer the other factions of the game - and turns it into an earlier setting in the early Medieval period of the Viking Age - so in the mod you get to play as different factions using entirely new models, a new map, new music, new city models and new events.
I'm playing as the Swedish Vikings, the Tribe known as Svitjod - they start in the area of Sweden's modern-day capital Stockholm but here their capital is Sigtunir in old norse - or "Sigtuna" in Swedish. The faction is lead by King Ragnarr Lothbrok, who historically was the heir and later Jarl of the Svitjod tribe - he later managed to become King over all of Denmark.
Lagertha the Shield Maiden is the heir of this faction in the sub-mod only, and has a unique strat-map model and battle-model.
The sub-mod "Factions United" is adding a lot of new changes to the main mod, and its sub-mod "Regnum Francorum" by the German modder Aphain.
- The new sub-mod "Factions United" allows the player to control entire tribes at the start of the campaign and is removing the rebels from the map.
Also, the sub-mod has been updated with everything new from WotN: The Baltic V.3.5 - including fixes, new strat-map models and an enhanced AI on the campaign-map.
In the campaign I will aim to unite the Kingdom of Sweden by defeating Gautland and the Geats, Gutland and the Gutnish and Kvenland and the Kvens - Danmörk is the main enemy that would historically defeat Svitjod even though Ragnar would become Danmörks King.
There is a risk that the Norse (Norwegians) might attack during the campaign and if so I'll have to take all of Scandinavia. There is a goal to kill off Kvenland (Finnish/Sami) as well. Only in the very late game will I possibly attack the Balts, the Slavs or the Franks. Expect the Gutnskr, Gautskr and the Danes to be the main focus.
Unlike in the old Walkthrought-videos of the original mod, the last of which I uploaded in September or October 2017 - this one will feature actual voice commentary and better video quality.
