The samurai mod, Gekokoujo (or whatever), has some pretty brutal combat actually. Also, the English translation isn't all that. My favorite realistic mod is La Guerre de Cent Ans, and it is not all that realistic. There is not one that I would recommend as a better experience than Viking Conquest. well, combat can be a slog, because swords do not work against armor, blunt weapons are slow and horrible defensively, and because all enemies are mighty, and all lords nearly invulnerable. No enemies have stats below what's suitable for level 15, weapons are very realistic, thus not very different from each other, the skills are nerfed so that a high level player is not all that different from a low level one, recruiting is hard and limited, and. This said, there are mods which try really hard.

If you never venture out of the starting city before you have power strike 8 and sword proficiency 200, and never bother with troops below tier III, you will not see much that is outrageous. To be honest, Viking Conquest on full realism settings is about as good as it gets. Like it or not, in reality, plate over mail over gamberson makes you almost proof against sword cuts, and no player wants to be at the wrong end of that.

Such mods often die, because players do not like the effects. There are mods which try very hard to get things realistic by modifying damage type reduction, fiddle with armor values, and projectile speeds. That's because you can get to strength 30, power strike 10 and proficiency in the high 500s. Of course, even in the mods you listed, YOUR sword will kill anyone with a single blow, or at most two, at high levels, even in heavy armor.

Prophecy of Pendor, Perisno, Floris Expanded all have enemies with levels in the 40s, who will kill you will one blow if they hit you. Many mods achieve a similar effect by having enemies of much higher level than the 20ish at which Native, Gekokujo and Viking Conquest max out.
