I’m still waiting on some of the total conversions to get more developed, so I tend to stick to QoL mods. Here are some of mine:
In My Humble Opinion adds the ability to see what your current character links of a character you’re looking at - just like in CK2 which is great for some quick RP
Prisoner’s of War is a great small additional in which characters taken captive in battle don’t just teleport to the war leaders dungeon and are instead held by the capturing army until the make it back to their borders.
What are your favorites???
Absolutely! Each of these fit really well into the “spirit” of the game. I think Great Empire Wars and More Interactive Vassals are more varied but create a much more dynamic and interesting experience.
I added them all last night. I’m part way through a playthrough so I’m not sure how much of a difference that makes, but I’m really liking Community Flavor Pack and Prisoner’s of War. Having to move prisoners and commanders around is great. I’m also playing in Africa at the moment, and the flavor pack has really brought the area to life!
Glad you’re having a good time with them! It’s crazy how that small tweak with Prisoner’s of War can change the flow of the game.
I gotta check out Africa at some point. Do you have a recommended start??
@orbit I’ve been play from Countess Daurama Daura of Kano in 867, as she has a scripted event that lets you play as female preference from the start. There is also an achievement related to starting as her, called Mother of Us All, but I’m not trying to get that one, as it involves religious conversion, and that’s not my favourite part of the game
Nice! I’ll definitely give that a look as you’ve given me some inspiration for a Crusader Queens run. Personally I love the religion aspects in no small part because it lets me paint the map in another color lol. Also a big fan of the starting from nothing aspects.
I’m doing a custom character run as a Hellenic Greek starting in the Island of Rhodes right now. Super tough start because I’m the only pagan in the Aegean making Alliances sparse and geographically far away.
