Radious Total War Mod - Thrones of Britannia - Released!

Good day everyone!

Its finally here, another Total War Game has been released and together with it - Radious Mod!

First let me thank to CA for giving us early access to the Thrones of Britannia so we were able to work on our overhaul pre-release!  We spent several weeks working on this game to have the overhaul ready for you all. They did some great improvements and changes to the game. Hopefully our feedback and tests were helpful aswell to make  a better overall game for everyone. Everyone who is a fan of historical TW games should enjoy this game aswell. Its well polished and runs great!

Massive thanks goes to all our Patrons aswell. Only because of your support are we able to do this for so long already and keep releasing new updates, mods and cover yet another Total War game!

For the first time in our history we will have to work fully on 2 TW  games at the same time (Warhammer 2, Thrones of Britannia) and this will require even more time and resources from us to put into this to make sure we maintain our quality.

Here is first look at our 6th Total War Complete Overhaul mod, this time for Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.

As the only TW modding team in the history that covers these games since Shogun 2, making entire reworkings and rebalancing of most game mechanics, features and adding tons of new high-quality units. All for you to enjoy and have fun already for more than a decade! Modding is our passion but requires significant time, effort and very strong nerves, cause it’s not easy and with more years and new games its getting more and more difficult each time a new title is released.

The past few weeks we have been working very hard to have another full overhaul ready, so you can enjoy it from day 1!

- Custom unit garrisons for all factions in main and minor city buildings. 

- Many great custom units - All rosters upgraded with highest quality made custom units as you are used in all Radious mods.

- Tons of other smaller things and ofcourse more balancing, tweaking and improving the game overall.
