Ancient Calradia

TfL6YwVB4IY

Semi-conversion mod that divides the Empire into three distinct cultures (Gallic Imperial, Roman, Greek) and replaces all other factions with their historical corresponding factions (Aserai-Persia, Battania-Celts, Vlandia-Dacia, Khuzait-Saka, Sturgia-Germanic) while keeping everything else the same for maximum compatibility with other mods.

Patrons usually get the early access for all the mods. But any mod that is released to Patreons will always get released to public, so don't come to Patreon for paywalled mods because there are none.

I wanted to play with Greek troops in the game, but I could not find any suitable mods. Therefore, I decided to create my own mod. I started thinking about the mod's structure. I wanted to create something that doesn't heavily rely on stupid XLSL files or add new cultures that often cause compatibility issues with other games and save game problems. After a little thought process, I came up with creating my own faction injector system, which does sound slightly fancy but, in action, is actually pretty simple. Basically, I divided the "characteristics" of the Empire culture into three distinct-looking empires and updated their systems at runtime whenever you load the mod. This is not separated as new cultures like many other mods do, but rather still preserves the exact same culture object in the game. I revamped all unit tree equipment with their corresponding factions. I did not touch any unit ID or unit structure because I want this mod to be as compatible as possible with other mods. Currently, the mod is exactly like vanilla Bannerlord, but with changed unit equipment and a few other small adjustments.

What does this mod do?

- Changes all the troops in Calradia with their Ancient counterparts

- Changes UI on Campaign Map

- Divides Empire into three actual cultural pieces without adding a culture option (which is important for compatibility)

- Gladiatorial fights in Imperial cities (even Greek ones, yes)

- Adds Custom Battle map(s) (Currently only Battle of Thermopylae) and changes Custom Battle Characters

What does this mod NOT do?

- Changes to flags

- Adding new cultures

- Changing lords or troop tree structure

- Changes to campaign map cities
