📋 About This Mod
Unfortunately i will no longer have time to update this mod due to family matters. That beeing said, i don't see any reason this mod should stop working with future updates, but there may be balancing issues. Either way, for the moment i won't be continuing working on this mod or fix any issues should they occur.
Luckily, Avareee have taken over the project and created a full unit and balancing overhaul of this mod. Balanced Armies of Calradia. Big shoutout to people like him for doing a great job and who continue working when others can't.
I hoped for cool looking Nords in Bannerlord, instead i got sturgians with circus pants and carnival Ulfhednar. This started as a simple xml edit replacement to improve the Sturgian troops and giving them Norse looks in my AnotherTroopCustomization "mod", and have now evolved into a modular full troop overhaul of all the major factions and the mercenaries. I therefor tought the mod deserved an facial upgrade.
The focus has been to make it as lore friendly as possible and somewhat "realistic" troops while keeping they're cultural base game identity. Well, except from Sturgia ofcourse who is heavily Norse emphasized except they're noble troop tree.
It's ofcourse all based on just personal preference and there are thousands of different opinions out there, this is mine. So keep that in mind before you fire off in the comment section that you hate fur or why i haven't given all aserai units golden outfits with 4 polearms. Hopefully you'll find something you like and grace me with an endorsement.
Big thanks to BenjiG91 for allowing me to incorporate hes Hallow Plate Armor into this mod. Give that guy some endorsment for adding new armor to the game
