Mod Recommendations

[SlipperyJim]

For nation mods, I can recommend:

• Tomb Kings (by llamabeast)
• anything by Burnsaber
• anything by Sombre

If you're interested in nation mods.....

Also, look up the Mark of the Champion mod. It transforms the Champion's Trident into a flashy helmet, which makes the Arena combats slightly more valuable than otherwise.

Lastly, although they aren't technically mods, you might want to look into a NI (no independents) map. The NI maps make a big difference in single-player games. Instead of recruiting hordes of stupid chaff, the AI is forced to recruit its national troops ... which usually results in a more interesting game.
