The best Total War: Rome 2 mods

Ah, Total War: Rome 2 mods. Since launch this game has struggled to forge its own path and find a way out of the shadow of its critically acclaimed namesake. Granted, following up one of the seminal strategy games of the early 2000s is no easy task, and so it's understandable that the sequel does not totally succeed in accomplishing such a lofty goal.

That being said, it did manage to grab fourth place in our list of best Total War games, and still commands a respectable player count, even after all these years and the newer games that have released since.

Regardless, the Total War modding community is here to help. Boasting some of the most exciting player-created content of the series, the mods listed below help push Rome II from a good, but lacklustre sequel to a genuinely great strategy title worthy of its revered lineage.
