STAINLESS STEEL: THE BEST TOTAL WAR MOD EVER MADE! - Total War Mod Spotlights

Over the last year it’s been my personal mission to showcase & play some of the best & most underrated mods out there for Total War games. From Shogun 2’s Last Alliance to Attila’s Medieval Warfare to Troy’s Agony, there are some incredible mods that are worth playing, many of them unknown, and they all provide incredible Total War gameplay. If that’s what you’re looking for then my friend, you are definitely in the right place.

Today’s mod spotlight is about a project that has had years and years of blood, sweat and tears, years of continuous effort and to be perfectly honest it’s probably known as the best & most popular mod ever made for any Total War game, and that is Stainless Steel for Medieval 2 Total War.

In this video I’ll be exploring everything about Stainless Steel and specifically the most up to date version of the mod with the Stainless Steel Historical Improvement Project to show you new campaign mechanics, factions, units, AI behaviour, everything, and by the end, I guarantee that you will have no choice but to try it out.

I hope you enjoyed this video guys and found it helpful. If you did give the video a like and absolutely drop your thoughts and any questions at all!

Definitely subscribe to the channel for more total war content, gameplay & news like this & thanks for watching guys!

What do you think of Stainless Steel & the SSHIP Submod? Check out the mods below!

A quick correction: Stainless Steel was first released much earlier than 2011. I worked on the mod and produced a couple of submods in the mid-2000s and that was on version 6.

Using Stainless Steel Historical Improvement Project (SSHIP) on top of this is the best way to play Med II by far.

SS, Third Age, DEI, some mods are just in a league of their own. Goated mod right here.

Was inspired to play SSHIP thanks to your video. Trying a Scotland run Very Hard - Very Hard. Maybe the first Total War campaign I've ever lost! What a unique feeling and a great mod! I will hold the English back at all costs! Scotland Forever!

medieval 2 total war is a masterpiece, really the mods improve the experience

[frankschipani]

Looks fantastic. Always appreciate the sheer amount of depth the older mods entail.

I played the mod myself with SSHIP .it greatly improves the game and makes it more challenging when your faction expands further. but crashes occur randomly but after around 300 turns which I reached my self. crashes start to occur frequently. but then again great mod 9/10

Imagine the amount of money sega could make if the collaborate with CK devs

SSHIP MOD is the best historical mod for medieval 2 total war, pretty historical and challenge!!! Stainless steel historical improvement proyect

[Punggles]

Great overview! Also I spot you with that Last of the Mohicans soundtrack 👀

[YossarianWitt]

There was a mod which was never finished, but it was huge - bigger than Stainles steel - Dominion of the Sword. Check it.

[Alatriste]

Already have more than 4000hr in Medieval with SS, but this might just make me play 4000 more

[georgimihalkov]

Legendary mod! I still play it to this day!

[patkorb]

Nice vid. Awesome Mod. Earned a subscribe with the Background Music though. Last of the Mohicans for the win 😁

[fakeskyler]

In the Rome Remaster, the faction, region, map size limits are all removed. I always wished Medieval II could get those same restriction lifted, but Stainless Steel by far does the best with what they're given

[baxerk]

This is a great review of a Great mod. We appreciate the detail of the features the mod provides, as well as a quick and easy explanation of how to download it.

[ludovicgraham]

Been playing Stainless Steel 6.3 for some years now. Defs my favorite mod after Europa Barbarorum II. What I wanna know about the new submods is, have they kept the weird amount of Christmas music? Nothing like plotting out your next big invasion while vibing to that weirdly intense guitar rendition of pan patapan.

[MilitaryJournal]

It is always the mods that make Total War worth it.

[jaimebacarizamorillas]

Tried one time SS (itself) and it gave M2TW a new depth and difficulty, therefore making it much better in my opinion. Thus, this submod seems dope and a must-try, but I must say that, in my opinion, I would prioritize giving land to the Americas so the iberian Peninsula factions, England and France (even some Nordic factions), have some more room to maneuver, instead of giving so much "useless" land to the Sahara or the steppes. Thanks for the video-review Termi!
