📋 About This Mod
Troop Overhaul
For Bannerlord 1. 5. 7e - 1. 1. 2
The Battanians have always been great hunters and have developed to great archers and skirmishers. With the abundance of animals in their vast forests they have developed strong leather armour, and prefer this instead of heavier armour, although some do use scale or chainmail. Being lightly armoured the men of Battania can move fast and can outrun most other forces in Calradia.
In the Battanian culture it has always been common that the women took care of the horses, and as an effect of that, they became the most skilled riders. Therefore the women became the messengers and envoys of Battania, and their riding skill increased further. So while the men of the woods preferred to fight on foot, the women preferred to fight on horseback, either as javelin throwing skirmishers or medium cavalry.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Finally gives Battania the archer presence it deserves—no more relying on just the Highborne tree
- Fits the faction's hunter theme perfectly, making your army feel more lore-friendly
- Solid track record with 521 endorsements and 20k downloads, so plenty of players vouch for it
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in October 2021, so it might not be compatible with the latest game versions
- Only adds archers—if you wanted other troop types overhauled, this won't cover that
- Potential conflicts with other troop overhaul mods that touch the same tree
This is for Battania fans who are tired of having a weak ranged lineup and want a more thematic, hunter-heavy army. It's also great for players who enjoy lore-friendly troop overhauls that stick to the faction's identity.
