Pike & Musket TW is one of those huge mods for MTW VI and even if it is released so late I believe it is worth playing. It takes the player to the brutal period between 1480 and 1700 - the time of religious wars, exploration of new territories and much changing warfare.
You can lead about 30 factions in each of 3 ( 4 soon) much different campaigns, most of them with unique units, buildings, office titles and historical heroes.
More than 600 various units are available to command from ordinary musketeers and pikemen to guerilla light infantry, warwagons, Tatar scouts with two steeds each, ski troopers, movable artillery and others including so famous soldiers of that time like Ottoman Sipahi, Polish Winged Hussars, Landsknechts and English Ironsides.
You can always choose to use either your national troops in your nation's recruitment zone or employ numerous mercenaries including pirates, regional units or some unreliable town militia present in largest cities.
Many historical battles are available to play, often harder than before and with additional, unusual victory conditions.
If you are bored with the weak, apathetic AI from the 'vanilla' MTW playing one of small factions in PMTW 1.5 is right for you - often you will even struggle to survive if you are unlucky to face one of the superpowers of that time The Ottoman Empire, France or Spain. Of course you can always choose one of them to fight several wars at the same time...
