Medieval Total War 2: Fantasia
A mod idea that has been playing around in my head for quite a long time (actually I was looking at making it in RTW, but I never bothered and I did not work out all the details as I should have perhaps, but I decided to share)
This mod is based of the idea that Christianity, while successful was never as widespread. The reason for this is that the Western Roman Empire crumbled under the Barbarian Invasions who mostly kept to their own religions.
The Germanic tribes were much more successfull in sticking to the old ways.
The Franks never mustered enough strength to fully conquer the gauls, and on the Brittish Isles christianity hardly set foot with a few exceptions, allthough a wise High King allowed for a lot of religious freedom as long as the laws were obeyed.
Islam did show up as normal, and the Islamic tribes conquered most of Iberia and Gaul.
The Saxons conquered many areas of the Isles, and other areas were conquered by strangers from farther north.
The Gaelic speaking people were driven from most areas of Scotland, but they kept a strong presence in Wales and Ireland and they were left with a small group on the Islands north of Scotland (Orkneys).
The Germanic tribes seeing weakness with the Gauls, who were being beaten back quite hard by the Muslim armies decided to make a push for Frankish lands who before formed a nice comfortable buffer state between the Germans and the Gauls.
These German tribes conquered the region what is currently the Netherlands and Belgium from the Saxons.
The Franks in their turn also turned on the Gauls and pushed them back (mostly because they in turn were pushed by the Germanic Tribes) towards the Atlantic and then the battle ended when the Franks were facing the muslim troops.

Now you need to see an image of the map.
The map should have the Brittish Isles, another landmass for the lands of the Norsemen, and a large landmass representing the inland west-coast areas of France and most of the North Sea area.
Current day Denmark should form a landbridge between the Northlands and the "Main Continent"

Cultures:
Saxons:
They hold a large area in England (southeast, not Wales, not Cornwall, not York, but everything in between) and the Denmark area.
Anglons: They hold York and stuff up northwards, but not "Scotland"
Norsemen: They hold most of Scotland with the exception of the northern Islands. As well as Scandinavia (except Denmark area)
The Irish Clans: They hold ... Ireland
Brittons: Wales, Cornwall and part of Bretagne.
Gauls: They hold the entire west-coast of France.
Franks: They hold the center of France.
Germans: They hold the area between france and mainland saxon territories.
Moors: they hold everything else.

There's potentially a way to play with the "Papacy" once the unpacker comes out, so there will be a High King to whom all inhabitants of "Scotland, Wales and England" have a feudal obligation. Kings will be able to elect the High King.
Christians and Muslims will have a scripted bad relationship.
Hordes will also appear in the form of another "Germanic Tribe", and another Muslim faction.

Well that's about the idea I have.
---
What do I need for now:
Someone who is willing to create the map I mentioned earlier in this post.
Ideas for nations, as well as stuff for those nations.
---
What I can do:
Script and code stuff if necessary.
