Interessant, daß TW_User bisher noch nicht dieses Projekt vorgestellt hat, denn ich glaube, einigen Mitgliedern wird diese Modifikation ein Begriff sein.
Ohne weiter viele Worte zu schreiben präsentiere ich nun die Vorstellung des Entwickler Teams von The Last Kingdom.

About the mod:
The Last Kingdom challenges players to control 13 new factions, including the Vikings themselves, the Saxons, Scots, Irish, Welsh and Norman, and to embark on a campaign to dominate the British Isles. With a wealth of new historical heroes, players can lead a range of new units into battle - including Viking Berserkers, Saxon Huscarles and Fyrdmen - while conducting sieges and epic battles.
You can conduct the campaign on a new map focusing on North Europe, in the continent, in the Isle of England or Iceland or starting from the Norwegian peninsula.
I would prefer a historicaly authentic mode which only substantially follows the history. Unfortunately we don't have capacity for a more serious work.
So, this mod is also "historically inspired but creatively done" so the work is not perfectly historical...
( Kingdoms expansion required )
Period:
Starting date: 865 / Finishing date: 1066

We put the 13 factions under „Cultures”. So now 6 cultures are created in the game. For exaple Denmark, Hordaland, Vestfold and the early Norman belong to the viking culture. The unit list and the appearance of these are almost the same but there are some differences and factions have some unique units. This is the way we tried to decrease the number of units although we still need almost hundred more units. The shields, arms, models of captains and generals, and skins are variated by cultures.

Das Projekt befindet sich derzeit in einer geschlossenen Beta Phase, voraussichtlich wird The Last Kingdom noch vor Februar erscheinen. Eine gute Möglichkeit die Wartezeit auf Shogon II: Total War zu verkürzen. 
EDIT: Die Mod ist inzwischen in unserer Database zu finden: http://totalwar-forum.de/wbb/i…=DownloadDBData&dataID=76
