📋 About This Mod
The Valkyrie
The Valkyrie are a fully built kingdom with all female lords and troops.
They are based of Sturgian troop lines with an emphasis on heavy infantry and elite archers.
They are lore-friendly (as much as they can be!), with lore surrounding the settlements, clans and lords available in game.
In version 1. 2. 0 I've added an option to use Revyl and Ustokol Castle as the starting point for the Valkryie, thus making this mod compatible with other mods that change the map (hopefully).
Main Features:
-
[]1 new Kingdom with Culture - Valkyrie
[
]6 Valkyrie clans[]34 noble ladies
[]10 Wanderer templates, each with backstory lines
[]New Valkyrie troop line - An Infantry only troop line, based upon Sturgian shield wall tactics, with addition of noble archers based of Battanian archery.
[]Adds a town, four castles and several villages to the map inside Sturgian territory, or can use existing Sturgian settlements instead.
[]ATC config to allow players to always recruit Valkryie recruits or a config for vanilla-like behaviour
[]Regular armour/equipment uses vanilla assets (mainly Sturgian). Recommended for Balance and Vanilla-friendly immersion.
[]Optional skimpy outfits using MC Amazon Body + MC Amazon Armours. Not Balanced or Vanilla-friendly.
[]Has translations for 12 different languages via machine translation, reach out to me if you want to help improve a translation file!
Troop Trees
New basic and noble troop trees, favouring an all infantry force with elite archers and shield wall infantry:
The Valkyrie Lands
Using the "New Settlements" option adds a town and four castles to Calradia, as shown below.
These are owned by 5 new Valkyrie clans (With the final clan being the elite Mist Ranger clan)
There are 34 new noble ladies from the 6 new clans.

ATC Recruitment
You can either choose regular recruitment, which will let you recruit Valkyrie troops only from their villages/towns.
Or you can use All Valkyrie recruitment, which will let the player faction and clan (Not NPC lords) recruit Valkyrie from anywhere.
Note that not having ATC installed will not conflict, the config file will not do anything if ATC is not installed.
Feel free to edit to the ATC config for your own needs and/or mod setups.
Starting Settlement Locations
You can use new settlements located in Sturgia, between Omor and Varcheg. These consist of two castles, a town and a total of six villages spread between them.
You can also use existing ones, Revyl and Ustokol castle are given to the Valkyrie as their starting settlements.
WARNING!!!
Adding this mod can only be done on a new save, it adds a new kingdom and cannot be taken out afterwards without causing CTDs.
I will continue to try and keep the versions compatible with each other, but I cannot promise anything, as Bannerlord itself is constantly changing with each update.
Each minor version update, eg 1. 2. 3 -> 1. 3. 0 (2 minor to 3 minor) is best started with a new game.
Each patch version update, eg 1. 3. 0 -> 1. 3. 1 (0 patch to 1 patch) should be compatible with an existing save.

Installation:
You can use the automatic FOMOD config file to install, eg using Vortex or any other mod manager which supports FOMOD.

It includes lore, new settlements, and optional compatibility with map-changing mods, plus translations for 12 languages.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Well-received by the community (806 endorsements, 43k downloads)
- Lore-friendly approach with in-game lore for settlements, clans, and lords
- Active development with recent update (September 2024) and compatibility option for map mods
⚠️ Cons
- Requires optional MC Amazon Body and Armours for skimpy outfits, which may not suit all players
- Machine-translated files may have quality issues in some languages
- Adding a new kingdom may conflict with other overhaul mods unless using the optional starting point
For Bannerlord players who want a fresh, all-female faction with a distinct identity and tactical infantry focus. Ideal for those who enjoy lore-rich additions and don't mind a bit of setup. Skip if you prefer vanilla factions or dislike mods that alter the map.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use other map-changing mods, enable the option to use Revyl and Ustokol Castle as the starting point to avoid conflicts.
- For a balanced experience, stick with the vanilla armor sets; the skimpy outfits are explicitly unbalanced.
- Check the mod's forum posts for any known compatibility patches with popular overhaul mods.
