I've found that Mount and Blade and M&B warband mods are awesome. favorite? mines a stalemate between Erope 1200 (warband), roman invasion, and Blood and steele.
I dont have Warband so for Regugalr Mount and blade They would be 1.the three Kingdoms 2.Prophecy of Pendor 3.Age of Blackpowder 4.China civil war 5.1800
after just installing A song if ice and fie mod, it has become my favorite. i love the books and show.
