A personal mod of the great mod Thera: TW
This started by adding a few extra unit but it soon became an ongoing overhaul juggernaut.
I've made huge changes across the board but retained the core.
(If you're wondering what THERA is, its a fantasy war mod waged across multiple continents on a vast map involving a ton of interesting Factions. ''Redux'' is my version of that great mod)
THERA:REDUX has:
Romans, Knights, Pirates, Orcs, Vikings, Reptiles, Samurai, Pike and Shot, Gunpowder, Monsters and moarrrr!
EDIT: A LOT more additional content/features/fixes/tweaks since this was originally posted.
Change logs available in the file posts.
Newest version is THERA: REDUX (Full Release 3)
Tons of new and revamped units from a variety of great mods
All factions revamped to some degree.
Better combat animations (more effective spearmen, no awkward slow shield swing from swordsmen etc)
Better gunpowder unit animation, no double reload glitch (so more effective gun troops)
More emphasised factional strengths and weaknesses
Regional/factional specific mercenary units recruitable in small numbers in many areas
AI more likely to make armies built around their core troops
Changes to unit stats across the board (also taking battle model appearance into account for armour stats etc)
New loading pics, New general bodyguards for some factions, Stronger alliances, More interesting and tougher mini-faction (regional 'rebel') armies, better AI, new powerful 'monstrous' units and much, much more.
Enjoy
P.S
I used a few models from BOTET, Third Age, De Bello Mundi, For King or Country, Battle for the Baltic submod and some others, as well as several defunct/unfinished mods (war of the west, especially), unit packs (Western Unit Overhaul) to update Theras battle models, as well a few personally modded models. I give full credit to their incredible work without which this would not have been possible.
Cheers, give the mod a vote!!!

TBH I don't know. I would like to add custom cities for sieges, a new faction, some new mini-factions and unleash the Papacy forces via scripting mid game... Also, there have been some very interesting developments in med2 modding that could be implemented. HOWEVER. All of this would take time I am currently busy doing things that make money out of time so perhaps in the future but no dates.
hey Axe love the work youve done on this mod. best way to play Thera Currently. any progress on a new release? lots of new toys and tools to play with when it comes to MTW2 modding these days.
Thank you chief. Someday soon I hope.

Have you watched the install video embedded above /\ ?
yes i did
After 5 years from the last play on this mod, It continue to be one of the funniest mod ever! I am very honoured to have suggested some cool units to be added in the late 2018, hope that the legacy will continue with new improvements! Very recommended mod to give a try!
Cheers bro.
