I see there are some fans who are interested in AOVAF yet.
There is similar mod started to M2TW. It is called to 'Wrath of the Norsemen'.

Another team, another engine, another chance.

Good news, it sounds like a very exceptional modification :yes:

Bad news, I have to set up another account on TWC to talk about it - sadly they have no public presence here :no:

[Arrowhead]

Im part of the team on WoTN, and it seems to be running along nicely.

We aim to be releasing it on 8th of August, our team leaders birthday ;).

Im part of the team on WoTN, and it seems to be running along nicely.That's very good news Arrowhead, even better I will probably have my new PC and M2:TW by then! May I request, however, that you guys come and pop over here and post up some previews and other such things now and again - I am sure that it would get plenty of Org interest in your great modification and would save me having to pop over to TWC too often. Good luck, cheers!

[Arrowhead]

Sure, I hope we will be able to get some nice advice off you guys!

I'll see if some of my team can drop round too.

Here is some more info on what we are doing:

Overview:
The mod will take place from 793-1011 AD and will cover the affairs of the Viking raids on most of Europe (map cutting off right before we get to the Med sea and right before we get to Spain). This just takes the most dynamic, fun and bloodthirsty era into the brand new Total War game.

Goal:
To portray the events using totally new skins, factions, maps and units.

Hi AoVaF! Im the graphics guy in WotN. Here's alittle preview of some of the graphics i've made for the mod. It contains two faction symbols (The Danish one, and the Pictish one) and a screenshot of the main menu.

Wow, havent seen that last one Alletun. Thanks for dropping by.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Wow! Great work :2thumbsup:

7th :P

I have an account over here too :P

[Arrowhead]

Crap ;).

I knew I had got SOMETHING wrong....

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

May I suggest you guys head off the the Mod's in Development (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=172) forum - it's where all the greatest modifications for M2:TW have their threads. Good luck again with your mod, cheers!

[Helgi]

Been waiting for the Age of Vikings and Fanatics: Total war (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=106), but since I have M2TW, I will look forward to this:rtwyes: :rtwyes: :rtwyes: :england: :france: :denmark:

[Meneldil]

Good luck for your mod. Unhappilly, most of AoVaF stuff got lost in the process, and as I don't know what happened to the other members (haven't seen SciontheWorm nor Skeletor for a while, but I think Legio is still sneaking around here), I doubt we could help you in any way, except with the crapload of research and pointless arguing we've had (things like "Should we call the eastern frankish kingdom "eastern frankish kingdom" or "francia orientalis" ?", and other "Dal Riada or Dál Riata ?).

[Arrowhead]

Hmm.. We had a bit of that, but it mostly was fine.

[Csatadi]

Meneldil nice to read you.
I realized I have Legio's last pack but it is useless for Wotn. There are too many changes in the system and time period.
Only name and army lists would be interesting but I'm sure these guys started everything from the basics.

[Arrowhead]

Im back here with a lil update. All hell has broken loose, our leader has been deposed and we have a new one now, and work is progressing. Here is the latest of Alletun's (our main graphics worker) graphics:
