Even with a year or more between major updates, work has never ceased.
More than anything, this preview of the upcoming update shows how much blood, sweat, and tears these modders have put into their work. It’ll earn you the enmity of Ulfric Stormcloak, however. To recruit the Reachmen, for example, you have to unite their territories in southwest Skyrim and then release their leader, Madanach, from the Sidna mines where he’s being held prisoner. ( PC Gamer first reported on the mod in March 2015.) This new patch will add Skyrim’s infamous Reachmen, the Tsaesci serpent-men, and the Clockwork City of Sotha Sil as factions that you can recruit to your cause by fulfilling certain quests on the strategic map. The upcoming 2.0 update will introduce three new armies after nearly four years of development on the mod. The modders behind Medieval 2: Total War + The Elder Scrolls mashup The Elder Scrolls: Total War are going ever deeper into the lore of Tamriel, adding mercenary armies to represent minor factions and races across the map.
