The Viking Age in Britain Is A modification of Total war saga, thrones of Britannia, brought to you by iutland. The mod is primarily made for my own gameplay, but hopefully other Thrones of Britannia players may find it enjoyable too.
The Viking Age in Britain (VAB) is a major rework of creative assembly’s Total war saga, thrones of Britannia. The mod focuses on the historical aspect of the Viking age in the British Isles and Ireland, while making the rework without destroying gameplay. Changes to text are done to increase the historical immersion effect.
Inspiration for the mod came after reading the Norwegian book "Vikinger i Krig" (English: Vikings at war) by Kim Hjardar and Vegard Vike, which I can only recommend reading.
The campaign and battle gameplay settings are derived from my Attila total war mod named IMPERIA ET BARBARI, also hosted at Total war center forum.
The general changes in this mod compared to vanilla thrones of Britannia are:
- All Faction Unit Rosters are completely reworked
- All units are completely reworked
- Units’ physical appearance has an increased diversity compared to vanilla
- Battle AI and settings are reworked
- Campaign AI and settings are reworked
- Minor Graphical changes to flags
- Land combat is reworked
- Naval combat is reworked
- Garrison units are completely reworked
- Unit recruitment and unit upgrade is completely reworked for each faction
- Campaign starting conditions are modified
- Spawning invaders’ unit composition is reworked
- Faction names are changed to more historical correct ones
- Settlement names are changed to more historical correct ones
- Unit names are changed to more historical correct ones, where relevant/possible

Plus many more minor changes
