Essential Mods List?
It's amazing how many deficiencies in a game you can find simply reading mod descriptions.

However, after 5 hours of searching through the workshop I need some definitive mods to start out with to have a balanced game.

Here's my list so far of what I hope won't conflict with others and make Atilla way more playable than the few campaigns I have started since buying the entire game DLC and all.

(See refined list below in other post!)

Faction Traits reworked (Not installed)
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=444419899

Have I missed any mods that are essential to starting a campaign with confidence before encountering silly and frustrating situations resulting from lazy design?

I just played the Geats before but their colour scehem is awful. So downloading half a dozen reskins too and how to get some basic cavalry into the viking type factions?

Opinions on why mods are good or bad are welcome and what are your most essential mods to play the game?

Thanks!

Essential...heh, that implies that the game is extremly broken and unplayable without extras that offer basic functionality. And I dont think thats the case

Except maybe the vanilla camera, I need cameramods for that

this is a minimal mod comp to improve ur gameplay without altering the game, works fine
12tpy not esstential
sebidess politics and governors (all respect) it's an easy playthrought (call it cheat)
why should all factions have ocuppy and diplomatics options? that wasnt real
-no siege escalation? what about the war?
remove capital reqs, lower upkeeps ------------------------- cheats???
no AI agents???? only urs?? yerpppppp verrryyyyy fair
Prometheus, skidvars dresden and etcc are great mods,, i made some goood collections that u just need delete all from manager (steam) no need to mess with files, and "Subscribe All"
Dont use radious (prefer choosing mods)
u can call your minimal balance.. r u playing esy at least?
whern u read a description, the mod will point exactaly what the autor of the mode found about ir, and its in immersive gameplay.
Just giving u tips, i been testing some new different modded campaigns and saving them as collections. worth the look at my profile, all collections of awesome modders

Gem is a really nice mod, but its only a visual mod. You can find this mod on the total war center mod page, you can tweak it to your own liking

I have downloaded hundreds of mods from the total war center and never gotten a virus.
And the producer of gem is more than trustworthy since he has made a similar mod for rome 2 and quite a lot of people are actually using gem.

gem is really nice, I just dont like the blur which you get by pressing k, but you can easily turn it off.

I prefer a slightly tweaked vanilla experience, so for me its the following only.

Very nice and light compilation!

However, after reading the suggestions here and experimenting yesterday I have rounded down my initial list to this...(And Thanks to Nick's posts with decent mods added too!)

I have had no conflicts with this list, played several turns however I am not sure if the migration type mods might conflict later in game. They all seemed relevant in this list so I added them.

Also, currently I am trying to find a good skin mod for Nordic faction and maybe some extra units but not sure if those mods conflict or anything. So far there has been one conflict adding cavalry from two different mods.
Numerus Equites Sarmatarum - Roman Sarmatian Cavalry

King Artur cav for rome lvl 4 bldngs
First Knights
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=435229669

Anyway...


Thank you to all the modders out there who have made the game more enjoyable and definitely more complete!
