Calradia Factions Enhanced (CFE)

Introduction and Credits

(this mod page is pretty outdated - for some more current information visit the posts section.)

CFE (Calradia Factions Enhanced) uses Calradia at War (Custom Spawns) by Anopey and the CustomSpawns Development Team to add various AI party spawns with unique units to the campaign map.

CFE also adds one additional troop tree for each major faction for more troop variety.

Recruiting these new units is possible thanks to ATC - Adonnay's Troop Changer by Adonnay. Using this mod without ATC and CS is possible (in theory), but the added content would be mostly unused.

This method does not replace any native units and is highly customizable, look in the comment section for more information.

Every unit is designed to my personal visual preference, using assets from one of our communities greatest 3d artists ADamnSexyName. His assets (Swadian armoury, Vaegir Armoury) are added to units of vlandian and sturgian culture. Open Source Armory by Areldir (and HalfMetalJacket Apolon21 Diakonus Genrev_Pogi Terco_Viejo AlphaOmegaMan Maverick_Knight Philozoraptor Basileus Balbor ) also plays a big part in the variety of CFE's troops. Lastly Vlandian Knight's Lances, by Caranthir444, is used to make vlandian lancers even more unique.

CFE now uses a xml that hides most native units made by Sarissofoi for LukeDanger's De Re Militari

Just like Calradia at War, CFE adds new weapons to the game, created with the native crafting system.

A great deal of time went into creating these new weapons. Forging parts together that by default 'don't fit' makes for a great variety of weaponry for many units. Inspired by historical examples and other games like Exanima CFE adds 230+ new weapons.

Some of the new weapons have custom blades modelled by badger.

Everything CFE adds is meant to mirror the design of native. This includes the stats of units, the structure of troop trees, design of banners, descriptions and names. (not lore friendly is the plate armour added by swadian armoury) I also tried, while adding new ways to play each faction, to keep the general feel of every faction. Balancing overall, at the time of the initial release, only happened in theory with the use of the tier system and by comparing CFE units to native units. Some high tier units/weapons added might be overpowered.

All banners are created by me except the Wahah Clan's banner.

It was created by r/BannerlordBanners/u/SerAndreLaurent.

CFE is not savegame compatible.

The latest version of Vaegir Armory doesnt need the fix anymore.

(Vaegir Armory needs a fix at the moment, look in CFE's or Vaegir Armory's comment section for more info.)

I recommend using Custom Spawns without Calradia at War because CFE adds enough spawns on it's on.

Content Overview

Calradia Factions Enhanced adds 230+ new weapons, 340+ units, 20+ factions, 50+ lords and 70+ new spawns.

A majority of these new troops are added to the recruitment pool of the main factions.

Each main faction (except the three empire kingdoms for the time being) gets a new clan with 4 lords each.

Six of the new factions are designed like native minor factions.

They can be recruited by kingdoms (not by the player), and they have 3 units each troop tree just like native and 4 lords each.

Additionally they are not hostile by default, but they will declare wars.

Another 9 new factions are hostile by default. They have bigger troop trees and all units can be hired at taverns around calradia (culture specific). They cannot join k
