No combination of mods work, so I don't think it's a mod issue. Have tried unsubscribing, resubscribing from my mods, but still don't work. After you hit 'play,' on the window that pops up, it shows the mods are enabled, but they don't work in-game.

With so many Total War titles to choose from, it’s easiest to just pick out what scenario interests you the most and jump on it.

You can choose to play anything from medieval times, to Rome, Japan, or even the fantasy-themed Warhammer.

The 6th installment of the franchise, Napoleon, sees you take on the role of Napoleon Bonaparte. Great game and a lot of fun. But maybe vanilla is getting a bit stale by now…

Well if custom gaming is in your ballpark, give these mods a go for an updated experience. All totally free, of course!

15. Ultimate Soundmod

Total War has always been about the thrill of battle. With the epic recreations of historic warfare, modders have continued to make small improvements to make battles feel more realistic.

Starting with the Ultimate Soundmod, a compilation pack of the best sound mods for NTW.

Community member LochKopf took what he thought were the best sound updates from 6 different packs and the result is amazing.

The realism of each battle is taken to a whole new level with simple changes in audio. Everything from muskets, cannons, mortars, and even player deaths now sound more realistic.

Some of the sounds were even taken from real-world weapon fires!

It may not sound like much, but you’d be surprised at the impact of better audio.

14. Naval Supremacy V2.0 UAI

If you prefer to play through NTW on your own, you’ve probably noticed flaws in the AI.

It may have even gotten too easy at certain points as the AI becomes predictable through experience.

This mod buffs the AI giving the game a fresh breath of life.

If you’re up for a challenge, the AI here may surprise you. They are now capable of recruiting large navies and infantries too.

AI focus on naval warfare is also increased as invasions become more common.

13. The Ottoman Realism Mod

If you’re looking to play through the European or Middle Eastern campaigns again, this is something you might want to try out.

Focusing on the Ottoman Empire, it aims at making the units more historically accurate.

The mod adds 10 new units that the creator felt were missing. And this is based on research of the time period, so it’s pretty accurate.

The additional merchantmen, ships, and infantry are sure to make your campaign playthroughs more interesting.

12. Diverse Artillery Mod

To make the game even more realistic, modder Iutland created the Diverse Artillery Mod.

This time, the mod focuses on improving artillery units.

With 83 new artillery units spread across the different factions, there is much more fun to be had in the battlefield. Explore the mod to find out for yourself.

Not only are the artillery units updated, but Iutland even included explosion and projectile effects from other modders.

These definitely make for a great improvement to the excitement of battle.

11. Vanilla Units Unlocked

You actually don’t even have to go so far as to get user-made units to add additional units to the game.

There are actually certain units within the game that are not playable (for some reason).

But thanks to this mod they can easily be unlocked.

Mostly affecting the French and British factions, you’ll be able to unlock units including French Grenadiers.

Explore for yourself and see what other units will be made available for use.

10. Coalition Campaign

If you’re looking to add more than just new units to the game, the Coalition Campaign mod is the one for you.

Adding new playable factions like Naples, Bavaria, and Denmark, there’s so much to find here.

Each faction has detailed descriptions and win conditions, so you’ll have different objectives depending on who you prefer to play as.

Although the original Coalition Campaign links are already offline, they have been uploaded to gamewatcher.com for download.

So go ahead and grab the pack, set it up, and give this mod a go.

9. Europe in Conflict

Europe in Conflict is another expansive mod that adds loads of content to NTW.

Introducing new gameplay mechanics like shell-shock (which affects unit morale), recruitment, and naval updates, this will surely give you a fresh NTW experience.

One of the more unique features of this mod is the addition of disease.

Adding a deeper sense of realism to the game, nations can now be affected by plagues. Fun!

Diseases have multiple effects on gameplay, disabling unit replenishment and causing unrest among others.

There’s so much more to explore here, so it’s best to experience in your own playthrough.

8. The Rights of Man II

Another overhaul mod looking to improve on the campaign, The Right of Man II makes changes to virtually all aspects of the game.

From additional units to new playable nations, there’s tons to explore in this mod.

One of the major changes in terms of gameplay is the updated recruitment system.

Players are now able to recruit foreign troops from captured regions.

The attention to detail given here is incredible as recruited units from captured nations even have their own uniforms and unit cards.

There are also more updates to the GUI, units, and general gameplay mechanics to explore in this mod. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

7. The Khartum and Zulu Mod

This time we’re taken to Victorian Era warfare with historical representations of both the Anglo-Zulu and Mahdist Wars.

The mod covers some of the great battles fought by Great Britain against African and Sudanese forces.

You’ll be able to play through custom scenarios based from the Battle of Rorke’s Drift and the Battle of Isandlwana among others.

Containing 4 new factions, you can now choose to experience the game as the Natal British Contingent, Corsaire, The Mahdist, or Zulu.

Many leaders have been added as well to match the time period, including Lord Chemlsford, Col. Anthony Durnford, and Muhammad Ahmad.

A great way to experience these epic battles, made even more immersive with additional videos and sounds taken from films relevant to the time period.

6. American Civil War

The American Civil War is mostly a scenario mod that takes us back to the time of Abraham Lincoln.

You’ll be able to play through the different historical battles between North and South America, either in single player or multiplayer modes.

Though the mod does not feature a campaign mode, there is no shortage of interesting content.

With the latest update just being released in 2019, there are now 65 battle maps to play through.

Each battle map has been recreated to most accurately capture the battlefields from historic events. Some of these maps are the Battle of Cedar Creek, Battle of Shiloh, and the Battle of Five Forks.

The attention to detail put into this mod is amazing. With over 4,300 unique units, new artillery classes, and much more to explore… this will keep you busy for a while.

5. Masters of Europe

Masters of Europe is the result of a collaboration between the 2 well-known Total War modders: l’Aigle and Steph.

Known for their Imperial Eagle and l’Aigle and Vive l’Empereur mods respectively, the 2 joined forces to create a completely new experience for Napolean: Total War fans.

Unlike most of the other mods on the list, Masters of Europe does not aim to recreate wars from other time periods.

Instead the modders focus on improving the content already available in the game.

Though there are some visual upgrades to certain textures, UI improvements, and icons, the mod really shines in the way it rebalances battle mechanics.

Changes to infantry, artillery, naval, and cavalry stats make the mod an interesting playthrough as the dynamics and feel of battles is now completely new.

There have also been changes to particular aspects of gameplay like tech, buildings, morale, and more. Check it out for yourself for a fresh NTW experience.

4. Additional Units Mod

Adding 48 new units and 3 new ships, the Additional Units Mod makes Napoleon: Total War worth giving another playthrough.

Sticking with historical accuracy, many factions have been given additional units like the British 95th Rifles, French Old Guard Grenadiers, Prussian Death Heads, and Russian Siemenovski Guards among others.

With the additional units comes gameplay balances to make sure that no faction is overpowered of course.

More than the added units, the Additional Units Mod also unlocks vanilla units and ships that aren’t readily available in the base game.

There is also a DarthMod version for players who want the additional units with DarthMod installed as well.

Tons of content to explore here which is sure to have you excited to get back in the game.

3. The Great War

Taking place around 100 years after the events of Napoleon, The Great War takes us to World War I.

A great way to add content to the game, The Great War not only makes aesthetic changes with loading screens, unit appearances, and vehicle textures… but also changes certain gameplay elements as well.

One of the biggest changes with this mod is the tech tree.

Tech upgrades have been changed to better fit the time period, with a lot of new upgrades that you’ll find as you explore.

Now you can fight your battles with tanks, mines, and even flamethrowers, in this epic recreation of WW1. Awesome.

2. DarthMod Napoleon

Darth Vader is a well-known modder in the Total War fandom.

Though DarthMods are known for improving enemy AI to overly realistic levels, this mod does way more than just that.

With over 200 additional units, gameplay updates, and even additional formations to choose from, the base game gets a complete overhaul.

And there are additional campaigns to explore.

Changes to battle mechanics, sound effects, and visuals make it possible to have bigger armies, making for longer and more epic battle sequences to boot.

Aimed at making the game more challenging by making it much more realistic, this will definitely scratch the itch of most Total War fans.

1. Napoleonic Total War 3

A result of years of research and development, Napoleonic Total War 3 gives a completely new experience of the game.

This mod is a complete overhaul aimed at giving you the most realistic and historically accurate experience of Napoleon: Total War.

The mod comes with 41 factions, 1,526 units, and updated game mechanics to discover and explore. That’s on top of the aesthetic changes that make everything look and feel more realistic. So there’s really a lot here.

Furthermore the maps are much larger, so battles are now larger and can be fought over greater distances.

There’s just way too much in this mod to discuss. It’s best to dive in and give it a shot yourself. Trust me, you’ll be pleased.

Total War: Attila sees you playing through the transitional period just before the onset of the Dark Ages.

It’s 395 AD and you’re in what’s called the Late Antiquity period. The well-known title character Attila isn’t at the helm of the Huns just yet, but will be fighting his way there throughout the campaign.

As the Total War franchise progresses with each new title, TW: Attila builds on its predecessor Rome II. And it offers some major improvements to UI and battle pacing.

Yet just like all Total War games, the modding community keeps finding ways to make improvements over time.

And now is a great time to look back and enjoy some of these community refinements to get the best Total War: Attila experience possible.

Prep for battle!

25. Olympian Campaign Camera

Camera control is always an area for improvement.

Not just for Total War games, but for large-scale strategy games in general.

Most of the time these games don’t allow you to zoom in far enough, get in close enough, or get the right angles you need.

Olympian Campaign Camera solves that by giving you adjusted height parameters in the campaign map view.

You can now zoom further out or get a bit closer to the ground, giving you more options to plan out strategies and a better view of surrounding factions and their activities.

24. Olympian Battle Camera

Modder Olympian offers us the same options when it comes to tactical battles, allowing more freedom in terms of camera movement.

You’ll be able to get really close to the action if you choose, or you can zoom out for a birds-eye perspective of the fight.

This allows for more flexibility watching out for your units during combat, whether you need to focus in on particular parts of your army, or to get a quick overview whether the battle is going in your favor.

We’ve all been in both places, I’m sure.

23. More Bold Campaign Borders v2

Another quality of life mod to go with Olympian’s camera mods, the More Bold Campaign Borders makes it easier to see province boundaries.

Especially when zoomed out, it isn’t always easy to spot where territories end.

This can make it difficult to strategically plan out your next moves. Well, not anymore.

What’s even better is that the mod is now in its second version, which means full compatibility with newer DLCs & compatibility with other mods shouldn’t be an issue.

22. Natural Water Mod

The TW community has given us a lot of ways to improve the game’s visuals.

The Natural Water Mod is one such improvement, making water look much more realistic. It’s just incredible, really.

It affects all bodies of water on the map including rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Water has always been a limitation graphically. But thanks to mods like this, we can get a much more immersive visual experience.

21. Attila: Flora HD

You might think graphics for the environment wouldn’t play a huge role in Total War: Attila… but you’d be surprised at how much a visual upgrade can improve how immersive the game is overall.

Immersion is one of the biggest factors for modding IMO.

This Flora HD mod retextures most of the game’s terrain and flora, giving them completely reworked HD textures.

Modder Celticuswas particularly focused on improving Atlantic and Continental climates, so you’ll see the most improvements in those areas.

Overall it’s a great visual enhancement that just makes the game look better. Who could hate that?

20. Bright Weapon Textures (no black weapons!)

Weapon textures have been upgraded over the years, and we have modder olvkhs99 to thank for that.

His biggest gripe was with steel weapons appearing in a darker shade (which explains the mod title).

Looking at the side-by-side comparisons, it actually does make you wonder why the swords & axes appear to be totally black.

It’s a minor change, but makes the overall look of the game just more realistic.

This mod affects most weapons including all Celtic, Eastern, and Steppe swords, along with Germanic spears, Roman Daggers, the shotel, and the khanda (among others).

19. Aztec 2015 Graphics

Aztec 2015 Graphics is one of the larger graphical mods out there, making major changes to the game’s scenery.

It actually adds 50 different scenes to the game including sunset backdrops, darker foggy climates, and sunny afternoon weather.

That’s only three examples, so imagine what you’ll find in the other 47!

Seriously, this mod pack is huge.

Not only does this improve on neutral environmental graphics, but it adds some lighting effects to battles as well, making large-scale warfare all the more epic.

18. GBJ Blood Mod Attila: The Blood Dark Times

Another way to improve battle visuals is through improved blood textures.

It’s pretty common for developers to tone down blood textures in some games nowadays. Be it to make their games friendlier to younger audiences, or to make battlefields look less cluttered.

But it’s also become common for modders to make adjustments to suit what they like.

Total War: Attila is no different with the GBJ Blood Mod.

Battles will appear more realistic as there are now 7 new blood textures in the pack. Blood doesn’t disappear from battlefields, either. So you’ll be able to appreciate the aftermath of every skirmish.

17. Cinematic Combat – Radious Version

As the Total War series suggests, it’s all about fighting the wars.

Watching large-scale battles unfold is what it’s all about – giving you that long-awaited satisfaction after all the planning and strategizing for lord knows how long.

And what better way to make those fight scenes all the more epic than to improve the animations?

With the Radious Cinematic Combat mod you can increase combat animations from 40% to 100% – making it much more entertaining to sit back and watch these battles unfold.

Units will use more natural movements instead of the boring default stabbing motions you commonly see. But this is a mod you have to experience to appreciate.

16. Return To Glory (Animations Mod)

You can improve battle animations even further with the Return To Glory animations mod by Petro.

This mod aims to not only make battle animations more realistic, but much more cinematic as well.

So basically, it’s all the more fun to watch your armies engage in combat.

Return To Glory makes a lot of changes though, like removing ridiculous decapitation animations, improves cavalry charges, and offers some different combat styles for heavy infantry units.

It also adds a lot of variation to the unit movements during battle sequences, making everything more interesting and exciting to watch.

15. More Detailed Unit Stats Tab

Beyond camera angles and improved graphics, there are also tons of mods out there offering more specific quality of life changes.

As time goes on, some games just don’t age well. Mods help.

The “More Detailed Unit Stats Tab” mod by wesloo is one of these handy additions, making battles easier to play through.

Making decisions on strategy games is all about maximizing the information you have. And for some reason, some information was removed from the unit stats menu in Total War: Attila.

This mod brings those stats back, making attack bonus vs. infantry and cavalry, range, and rate of fire numbers available for viewing.

Although some information may spill out of the menu borders due to the size, it’s a small cosmetic price to pay for being able to make better battle decisions.

14. Sebidee’s Unlimited Governors

Another area for improvement is the limited political and diplomatic mechanics of TW: Attila.

Though many improvements have been made as the Total War series grows with us, these diplomatic systems always feel like they come second to battle-related gameplay.

One limitation that particularly annoys fans is the governor limit, forcing most of your generals to remain idle.

Well this mod allows you to place governors in each of your provinces – and while it does make the game a bit easier, it makes much more sense as well.

13. Fertility +1

With harsh winters creeping from the northern regions of the map, large portions of the map become infertile throughout the campaign.

This poses a new challenge.

You may find yourself wandering through snowstorms, losing men before the battles even begin.

Modder DeliciousCrackers thought that making most of Europe inhabitable by mid-game was a bit… much.

Which prompted the Fertility +1 mod.

Medieval Total War Units

What it does is increases the fertility level of each province by 1, making it less likely that larger portions of the map will become useless throughout your campaign.

Another mod that might make the game a bit easier, but it creates a new balance that makes different strategies feasible through the course of your playthrough.

12. Tower Nerf Mod

Certain mods aim to rebalance battle mechanics.

And it seems like most TW: Attila fans are in consensus when it comes to defensive towers. They can be particularly brutal in Attila, wiping out large portions of your armies from a distance.

Thanks to Magnar, we’re given a nerf which reduces their range and cuts the damage in half. Neat!

Don’t get me wrong: they can still be quite deadly, they’re just not so overpowered with this mod.

11. Ammunition Refill

Another cool battle enhancement, this time giving improved archers.

Another mod from Magnar, created because he thought it just didn’t make sense that missile units would become practically useless once they ran out of ammunition.

Well Ammunition Refillmake it possible for missile units to replenish ammo, but keeps them balanced.

Ammo replenishment also has a time penalty.

Archers will not be able to move for two minutes while waiting for support to bring them a fresh batch of arrows. They won’t be completely thrown out of the battle, but you’ll have to wait before they become active again.

10. The Long Night

Any Total War fan will know that once you’ve exhausted all obvious means to boost your interest in the game, there are always overhaul mods that give you a completely new experience.

The Long Night is an interesting take on this. It calls itself “half alt-history and half fantasy”.

Set in 7th century Europe, most of the northern lands have been rendered inhabitable due to the ice age that has plagued the land for the last century.

Medieval 2 Total War Units Addon Mod V1.0 Download Free

Most of the fertile land belongs to either the Roman or Sassanid Empires. And with the northerners forced to move south for shelter, war is inevitable.

This mod features an eternal winter setting, new events like a demonic invasion (which explains the fantasy aspect of the mod), and even new units to explore. Lots of fun to be had here.

9. Total War: Rise of Mordor

There probably isn’t a single Total War game that doesn’t have a Lord of the Rings overhaul mod.

Based on the popular Third Age LotR mod for Rome II, the same team has moved their project to Total War: Attila for a more updated LotR experience.

Since it’s based on LotR, you’ll be able to play either as men, elves, dwarves, or orcs.

All units have been retextured to fit the theme so you’ll be getting a completely immersive LotR Total War game. It’s pretty wild, honestly.

Unfortunately, the original mod didn’t come with a playable campaign.

However a submod has recently been released called The War of the Ring, which is a nice addition along with TW: Rise of Mordor.

8. Kingdoms Of Westeros

Another common Total War conversion theme is Game of Thrones.

Total War: Attila gets its very own Game of Thrones mod as well, in the form of Kingdoms Of Westeros.

Unlike Rise of Mordor, Kingdoms Of Westeros actually includes a completely playable campaign converted to fit the world of Westeros.

While the mod is still in the early stages of development, it’s currently the best GoT mod for Attila out there.

Medieval 2 Total War Units Addon Mod V1.0 Download Free

Feedback has been positive so far, and if you’re not planning on playing it right now, it’s probably a good idea to bookmark it for future updates.

7. Unofficial Attila Community Patch

With most mod-capable games, it’s always a good idea to check out the Community Patch when available.

Community Patches are typically compilations of tweaks, balances, and changes that have been agreed on by most of the community to be beneficial to the overall vanilla game.

The Total War: Attila Community Patch is a great source for this kinda stuff, from graphical upgrades to gameplay mechanics.

It includes most of the bugfixes that the community has deemed to be “must haves” so it’s generally a better way to experience the game as a whole.

Highly recommend this one.

6. Forgotten Realms

If you’re looking to refresh your Total War: Attila experience without straying too far from vanilla, Forgotten Realms is a great way to do so.

The mod doesn’t make drastic changes like other previous overhauls. But it makes enough balance & visual tweaks to keep gameplay exciting.

With Forgotten Realms you have 28 unlock factions available, including new general models, individual traits, and unit rosters for each.

Battle balances have also been made, with increases unit speeds and makes battle more fast-paced than in vanilla.

Rome Total War Units

5. Fall of the Eagles

Fall of the Eagles is for the hardcore realism and historical accuracy fans out there.

Modder Dresden claims that these two points were his primary focus when creating the mod.

Dresden is actually a veteran Total War modder, which should be enough to trust that quality won’t be a problem here.

The mod focuses on unit and battle changes, making massive changes to unit textures so they’re more appropriate to the time period.

Certain battle mechanics have been altered as well, but still with realism and historical accuracy in mind.

And there are also a couple of submods available for faster or slower battles, so you can decide for yourself which you prefer and they’re all available on Steam.

4. Radious Total War Mod

Radious has also become popular in the Total War modding scene, mostly for his overhaul mods for Rome II.

Medieval 2 Total War Units Addon Mod V1.0 Download Pc

He took a stab at overhauling Total War: Attila as well, and the result has been pretty awesome.

As with all of Radious’ other mods, major rebalances are made here. Including changes to the campaign AI, diplomacy, battle systems, and unit stats.

Worth checking out if you’ve got the time and want something fresh.

3. Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD Base Pack

The 1212 AD campaign project has been in the works for over 5 years and is still not finished (as of this writing).

What’s making it take so long? The intensive internal testing, as this was initially only made available to content creators and close friends. At first…

With the recent public release, you can be sure that it will give you a relatively fleshed-out experience in TW: Attila, even though it hasn’t totally been finished yet.

The campaign already includes 57 playable factions, over 4,000 retextured units, and even new scripted events to keep the campaign engaging.

This one’s big, trust me!

2. Warring States: Roman Civil War

Warring States is yet another mod that doesn’t stray too far from vanilla, but makes an interesting change to the campaign that has a huge impact on how it plays out.

What it does is splits the western empire into 7 different factions that are currently engaged in civil war amongst themselves.

Warring States: Roman Civil War also places a large focus on an updated auxiliary system, allowing each Roman faction to make use of different auxiliary units based on their region.

1. Terminus Total War – Imperium

Imperium takes Warring States even further.

This time both eastern and western empires are split, except they’re divided into allied factions.

An alt-history campaign that offers 42 playable factions, 14 of which are completely new.

The mod also includes over 100 new units to explore and hundreds of new generals/faction leaders to maximize.

Overall, Imperium adds loads of new content while sticking pretty close to vanilla gameplay. Almost like an unofficial expansion pack.

If that’s what you want out of Total War: Attila then this is the mod to start with.
