📋 About This Mod
This mod introduces a new origin, where you can play as a barbarian. All features of this mod are tied to this origin and all other origins are unchanged. The mod is still work in progress and so far considered a BETA. Bugs are present, as well as typos. Feel free to report all of them :)
To use the mod, start a new game with origin: Barbarians of the North
Features of the origin are:
Avatar leader, that also starts with a famed greatsword that can be improved over time with events.
Besides leader, two custom characters are added to start with, one of them has a unique trait.

Permanently bad relations with all civilized factions (even after the holy war/civil war is resolved).
Contracts have been reworked and reflavored for barbarian faction.
By completing certain ambitions, player can become friendly with civilian factions and become mercenary company
New events to recruit more bros, some with unique traits.

North Expansion Mod adds a new barbarian origin to the game, with all features tied to this origin while leaving other origins untouched. A niche gameplay addition for players seeking a new playstyle, with modest community traction (52 endorsements).
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh origin for players who want a barbarian playthrough.
- Doesn't mess with existing origins—safe for your current saves.
- Decent download count (1,995) shows some interest.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 52 endorsements—still a niche mod.
- No details on what the barbarian origin actually does—could be a letdown.
- Last updated in September 2024—might not be compatible with the latest game version.
For players who've exhausted the base origins and want a new barbarian-themed challenge. Skip if you're looking for broad gameplay overhauls—this is a single-origin addition.
