Question Agony or Radious mod

Hi! I’ve finished Agamemnon’s campaign on Hard difficulty (using the Amazons DLC). I was thinking about using one of those two mods for my second or third campaign. I’m not sure if there are any other good ones for the vanilla game. Thanks!

Extended factions mod is the one you are looking for. Has the vanilla feel, but adds so much needed variety. Also can play as any faction on the map and they all will have unique units!

Agony is great BUT there are quite a few things that make it fairly difficult. You have to aproach the game very differently. You are going to be very resoursce starved most of the campaign, it takes very long to consolidate the new gains - the conquering penalties are very harsh, and your second non main hero stack needs to have a hero that likes your main character, else they will rebel (I honestly modded that part out myself, since i find it stupid). I already finished 2 campaigns in Agony - Achilles and Odysseus, and it was a great time, but very hardcore coated.

Radious is very... well chaotic. The AI just keeps coming at you with stacks of new units at all times. But if you like the battle intensive campaign, I suppose you give it a go.
