    Full conversions:

    • EK2 - duh

    • The Fallen Eagle - last days of antiquity. Pretty fun mod and actively being developed

    • LotR: Realms in Exile - Middle Earth Mod. Have tons of potential but development is slow and moved in very weird direction adding many noncanon realms in far south and not having elves, dwarves and hobbits at all. Orcs are pretty fun though.

    • Godherja - probably biggest mod now, about fantasy apocalypse-in-progress world.

    • The Way of Kings CK3 - based on Sanderson “Stormlight Archives”, didn’t played much, seems fairly oneshotter though

    • Shogunate - Japanese age of war mod. Pretty good, but being hampered by not enough customisation options.

    • Princes of Darkness - oldest total conversion still in work, based on Vampire: The Masquerade TTRPG. Pretty good, with many interesting bookmarks and characters.

    • Apotheosis - about hellenic age, pretty neat

    There’s more, but i checked those ones.

    Dishonorable mention: The Bronze Age - super high potential mod that was abandoned by devs and then they pretended to work on it for almost 2 years. Not cool.

        Yeah, though CK3 have slight better track on this than most games. This was the only major total conversion abandoned so far. Problem is, it was half-offcial, they started to work on it months before release, allowed by PDX, what you see now is basically the state they already had on release of the game.

            It’s not released yet and don’t know when it will be. It is made by the same team as their mod for CK2, which means the possibility of epicness is high.

                  I know, right?

                  Series started in 1996 and is reaching its 30th anniversary (it’s currently 2023).

                  That’s… bad, actually. Fans have died not knowing “what happens next,” let alone the ending.
