📋 About This Mod
Welcome to Calradia Expanded: Kingdoms. This mod introduces 8 additional Kingdoms to the world of Calradia and reforges the existing Kingdoms of Calradia and their lands to fit the Calradia Expanded Universe.
While not lore friendly this mod adds extra troop trees, cultures and rejigs the world of Calradia into a world of struggle and strife. Steamrolling Kingdoms have been tamed and now there is a great mix of push and pull as the Kingdoms vie for dominance, and you can tip the balance forever in a lucky ruler's favour… or strike out on your own taking them down one Kingdom at a time.
These are a list of extra features that have been added in so far.
- []9 new Kingdoms, 8 new Cultures. The main feature of CEK! Powered by Calradia Expanded, CEK makes use of the dozens of new settlements, distributing them to entirely new kingdoms, with new cultures, clans and troop trees. The Calradian continent is more chaotic than ever, and thus new opportunities unfold for adventures with nothing to lose, but much to gain...
-
[]Full troops & lords overhaul. Not only new kingdoms have their own new troops, vanilla troop trees were completely reworked - dozens and dozens of new items from Open Source Armoury have been distributed. Each troop tree is unique, troops are much more varied than vanilla, progressions more logical, all this while balance across all troop trees. Lords also benefit from this - there are much more unique presets they can pick from than lords to use them!
- []Ruins. There are now 13 ruins through out Calradia that you can find, explore, loot or just hide inside of. We have four different types of ruins; Towns, Castles, Villages and Misc (Used for alters/shrines/oddities). Each different type will reward you differently as you plunder them for forgotten riches and hidden treasures. However, while doing so you are at risk of being attacked by scum that may of made their homes within the ruins.
- []A Quest. Our first quest has also been added into the game. Its a rather simple one that could trigger as you visit the new ruins. We certainly hope to add more quests into the game in the future to add some more verity for your gameplay. If you are unlucky and it never triggers for you there is a console command in the below spoiler to make it trigger.
- []Docks. We have added in a Docks option on coastal towns. Inside the docks you can purchase a ride on a boat to all other coastal towns. The cost and travel times are different from town to town, simply click the destination you wish and wait while the boat travels around, once the time limit has been reached your party will appear at your destination. Future features will be added into the docks button in later updates.
-
[]Manhunters. We have added in Manhunters into Calradia once again. These parties have their own troop trees and have a 10% chance to spawn instead of looters. These groups will seek out looters and other undesirables to bring them to justice.
Calradia Expanded:Kingdoms comes with 8 new cultures to be picked from, as well as new traits for vanilla cultures! Traits for each culture have been doubled, meaning that culture has 4 positive and 2 negative traits.
All cultural treats:
-
[]Apolssaly:
[
]Self-equipped: Reduced troop recruitment and wage costs.[]Trade heritage: Increased city income from trade.
[]Apolssalós: Settlements of same culture have increased prosperity and militia production.
[*]Heitairoi: Lords have increased party size
