More information about Medieval 2 Total War SSHIP.
SSHIP, or Stainless Steel Historical Improvement Project, is an ambitious mod for Medieval II Total War, known for its historical accuracy and unique gameplay changes. It has won first place in the 2018, 2019, and 2020 TWC Modding Awards for Medieval II Total War Submods. Here are some key features of SSHIP:
Unique Settlements: SSHIP adjusts the sizes and populations of cities and castles based on historical data. Major cities like Constantinople can start with a population of around 150,000, making public order a challenge to manage. In contrast, less developed regions like Scandinavia, Cumania, or Lithuania have smaller and slower-growing towns and villages, offering a diverse range of settlement experiences.
Buildings The mod discourages a “build everything everywhere” approach by introducing specific positive and negative factors for most buildings. Players must make strategic decisions on whether to construct a building based on its impact. There’s also a limited tech tree, and advanced buildings may require specific professions like stonemasons or carpenters.
Economy SSHIP increases the cost of units and buildings, introduces siege upkeep, and incorporates more corruption in large cities. This change makes it important for players to manage their economy efficiently. On the positive side, the AI is more resource-conscious and focuses on settlement upgrades when not at war, reducing stack spam.
Dynamic Gameplay: SSHIP aims to enhance the game’s dynamic nature by introducing various events and challenges. This prevents repetitive gameplay and keeps the experience engaging.
Religious Orders The mod adds depth to religious orders, making it more challenging to recruit religious order knights if your global standing is low or you are excommunicated. It introduces consequences for building too many major Templar buildings, such as unrest. The Teutonic Knights become available under specific conditions, adding historical accuracy to the game.
Crusader Support: Players can improve their standing with the Pope by supporting the Crusader States. The Pope periodically demanded financial assistance for the Crusades.
Family Dynamics SSHIP introduces a family-based system for plots and struggles for power within medieval kingdoms. Characters can have traits like “Rightful Leader/Heir,” “Plots,” “Usurper/Usurping,” and “Regent,” which affect their loyalty, behaviour, and potential to seize power. These features collectively create a historically accurate and engaging gameplay experience, offering a fresh perspective on Medieval II Total War.

Can you for rats ass play with an islamic faction, like the fatimids
medieval 2 is total wars peak, its 2023 and we are still talking about and playing a game from 2006 which is superior to all warhammer total war games by a thousand miles, only in graphics is it lagging, but if CSGO can reskin it self with a new engine and call it cs2 why cant medieval 2 get a complete reskin add a few new campagins and call it medieval 3
Man wish they make a new medieval.
Where is the link for this mod?
God i miss playing this game. Loved the dynamics, woulf have loved thrones of britannia graphics for this game.
Medieval 2 is the best of the total wars IMO. Love these mods & sub mods, very replayable
You should do a Bizantine series.
👍
I was just in the mood to play something like this time to check out stainless steel again lol
7:40 Didnt even know you could do that, i have been playing this game wrong this entire time
❤Love this mod,Atm I'm playing with Scotland planing too take your lands,banish the Normans taking back our traditional lands (Welsh and Irish) and invade the Viking world takeing revenge on them for old invasions❤
I see you made X episode's plan too watch them all,what is your plan of expansion if you got one?
GL Bud.
If this mod is the best for you, you really need to try bulat steel… 😝
I’m shocked I’ve only just stumbled on to this mod as well lol
I installed SSHIP 6.4 yesterday and it is nothing like what you are streaming… I started at early, what am I missing?
In Vanilla, "Wales" doesn't really exist. It's 1 Rebel province.
Really I think SSHIP adds too many frustration factors with not enough "historical improvement" to make it worthwhile over SS 6.4 + bugfix 1.27.
Just FYI, Gloucester is pronounced like "Gloster". I'm a Glos local 😊
Gloucester is pronounced "GLOSS – TUR "by the way
This mod crashes every 10minutes for me 🙁
Getting throwbacks to the heir crown ancillary when you mentioned it. God I wish it actually worked properly, half the time it was ineffective.
Robert of Gloucester's last name part is pronounced (gloss-ter), from the town of the same name.
Spam crap
