Wrath of the Norsemen
Contents
Introduction
Wrath of the Norsemen's Baltic Release throws you into the Viking Age complete with new factions, new units, a new map, improved AI, new scripts and much more. Its first release focuses on the events around the Baltic sea between the years 785 to 1050. Command some of the greatest Early Middle Age kingdoms around the Baltic, and defend yourself from the occurring Rus' as you battle it out for ultimate supremacy.
Overview
The mod will take place from 785-1050 AD and will cover the affairs of the wars between ununited Scandinavian tribes and the surrounding peoples across the Baltic sea. Wrath of the Norsemen takes the most dynamic, fun and bloodthirsty era and throws it into M2TW: Kingdoms.
History
Wrath of the Norsemen was originally started by tnick777, but the idea was later put into action by Raven Darkwing not long after being voted "Most Promising Mod for M2TW" in the TWC Modding Awards in early 2007. Previews are released and the position of leader is later given to mocker, but progress was becoming too slow and the mod eventually died. A few months later the mod is officially restarted under the leadership of Víkingr, but due to lack of team members the original plan of a Viking age mod spanning most of Europe is pushed to the side to instead create a smaller Baltic centred mod. Since then the mod has progressed well and various previews have been released. The Baltic Total War team gave permission to use their models and skins to assist in the development of the faction rosters, and have provided much information for the Curonian faction. The "Baltic Release" is said to be ready for release either at the end of 2010 or the first quarter of 2011, but there is no official release date.
