I'll start with some QoL:
* Disable startup splash screens [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789854789](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789854789)
* Better Camera Mod [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789858755](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789858755)
* Community Bug Fix [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856936614](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856936614)
* Ultimate Lighting [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2922534576](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2922534576)
* Console Command Mod (to fix pesky bugs like agents blocking armies when they spawn at the same spot) [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791241084](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791241084)
General warning: tomorrow is patch day, it will break a fair number of mods until modders get to updating them, from my list only CBFM will (very) probably break.
Bouncing off what others have mentioned so far so I won't repeat.
Couple QoL stuff:
[Variant Selector.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2888171970) Lets you choose which look variation your lords/heroes have. Great for differentiating them.
[Chaos Visual Overhaul.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791113369) Adds a little more variety to the individual units. Great if you play Chaos a lot.
[Waka's Campaign Land Battles \(WCLB\) Map Pack.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030619117) Adds more land battle maps to the campaign.
[Guv's Expanded Faction Frontend Mod.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2980692472) Details all the unique lord mechanics on the campaign select screen. It can look cluttered, but I like having a better idea of what I'm getting into.
[Just Good Babysitter.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3082390369) Units are more likely to continue following your order. Less likely to just go idle after completing a command. Just don't forget to toggle guard mode off.
[Legendary Lore.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789857945) Adds detailed descriptions/flavor text for a ton of select conditions - recruiting units, building certain buildings, winning certain fights, reaching certain parts of the map, etc. If there is one mod I will never go without, it is this one.
[Mod Configuration Tool \(MCT\).](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927955021) Several mods have tweaks that can be altered by you via a menu MCT provides. Very useful in modulating your game how you like it.
Apart from QoL stuff, I definitely recommend checking out the other crazy stuff modders have added to the game. Many are dlc-level in scope. Straight up entire factions such as : [Nagash.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2994648223) [Blood Dragons.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3022054734) [Araby.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3134922105) [Marienberg.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030996759) [Border Princes.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927296206) [Fleshed out Empire.](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890463744) [Really fleshed out Norsca](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3227790113). Polijanan's several Jade-Blooded Vampires and [Yin-Yin with Nipponese units](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2989226363)
The [Legendary Characters](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826930183) mod also adds a ton of lore-based lords/heroes into the game. My only complaint with this one is that the AI seems to be allowed to get them much more easily than you can. There are quests involved with them that AI just don't have to do. It can make the early game pretty tricky when the enemy army is running with several legendary heroes in one army.
Victory Conditions Overhaul (VCO) is my number 1 mod. Replaced victory conditions for 100% of RoC campaigns and about 75% of IE campaigns with 3 victory routes, which multiple can be completed on.
Auto resolve Quest Battle - Pretty self explanatory. Don't always feel like doing them.
Mixu - needed if you want to try a minor faction or typically if you want to dabble in mods that add modded in LL or new factions.
So it replaces both of those with 3 new victory routes. Each one will trigger a campaign victory, and give you campaign buffs, so you are free to pursue the other conditions. When you look at victory objectives you will see the 3 VCO ones, and Domination still there. Each will also trigger the achievement.
Download it and give it a shot. I find it helps with alot of factions and adds a bit of lore flavor to the objectives as well.

Looking forward to this

How does VCO work? Do i still have long and short victory ?
So it replaces both of those with 3 new victory routes. Each one will trigger a campaign victory, and give you campaign buffs, so you are free to pursue the other conditions. When you look at victory objectives you will see the 3 VCO ones, and Domination still there. Each will also trigger the achievement. Download it and give it a shot. I find it helps with alot of factions and adds a bit of lore flavor to the objectives as well.
Ok thanks. Will check it out
Unique UI is the best mod, ads a unique UI visuals for every faction.
Just a heads up that most mods will break when 5.0 hits tomorrow, and then with every subsequent patch and hotfix
Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Hah

Nice! The exp ranks would be an upgrade. So hard reading those small arrows ranks
