Itself a sequel to what was a commercial sequel to a total conversion mod on the Source engine, it has seen a pretty good life so far and Tripwire seem intent on keeping it running for a while yet, so to commemorate this modding lineage, we've got five mods focused on tearing up the dark ages!

Starting off as a mod for the original Mount & Blade, the sequel innovates in all the right places to provide ample ways for medieval aficionados to engage with new conflicts. Take Europe for yourself, or join another Kingdom in the perpetual fight for domination - like all things M&B, it's up to you.

Appease your gods by spilling the blood of your enemies deep within a Mayan temple. Conquer your foes by taking control of precious badlands territory. But most importantly, have FUN!
Age of Chivalry: Hegemony
By Happertesch
Concentrating on the late medieval period, Age of Chivalry: Hegemony replaces or significantly alters each of the civilizations in the original game, while also adding a number of new ones, allowing the player to control Central and Western European states. Many new units and technologies have been added and gameplay dynamics have been changed considerably in this complete overhaul of Age of Empires II.
Age of Chivalry
Age of Chivalry is a total conversion for Half-Life 2 currently being developed by Team Chivalry. A close group of friends who are dedicated to creating a fun story driven multiplayer experience set in a fantasy world in the medieval ages, Age of Chivalry was the original entry in this series, and the creators of this iconic and historic total conversion went on to work with Tripwire on the commercial sequels. Fans of the original exist to this day, however, meaning some classic medieval Source combat is never far away.
Shields Up
Tripwire Interactive is a company largely built on the commercialisation of promising total conversions, with some of their biggest titles - Killing Floor, Red Orchestra, and Chivalry - all stemming from total conversions. Most of these titles not only made it to the commercial realm, but then had successful sequels, and Chivalry 2 is the newest sequel from the studio. Experiencing several additional content drops since launch, it continues the trend of Tripwire keeping their titles going with the Reinforced update.
Chivalry 2 specialises in intense first-person medieval combat, and stems from
the original Age of Chivalry mod which was a Half-Life 2 total conversion
Teams In Fortresses
The Reinforced update introduces new weapons, new maps, and a new edition of the game for especially devoted fans. The new content is, by and large, designed to take advantage of the mounted horse combat introduced in a previous update to the game, retrofitting existing content to allow for horsing around and a new map purpose-built for it. It also comes in time for Chivalry 2 to join Xbox Game Pass, and with sales on various platforms too, now's not a bad time to get involved with the mayhem.
