📋 About This Mod

Knight of the Holy Roman Empire

The Free Imperial knights were free nobles of the Holy Roman Empire, whose direct overlord was the Emperor. They were the remnants of the medieval free nobility and the ministeriales. What distinguished them from other knights, who were vassals of a higher lord, was the fact that they had been granted Imperial immediacy, and as such were the equals in most respects to the other individuals or entities, such as the secular and ecclesiastical territorial rulers of the Empire and the Free Imperial cities, that also enjoyed Imperial immediacy.

UPDATE 1. 2

New update for the mod, i cleaned up some little visual bugs in the original file so i recommend a fresh install of the main file.

Also you can now download 3 new optional files.

Opened/Closed Holy Roman Empire helmet: 

If like me you never use the full face helmet because they hide Henry's face during conversations and cutscenes, this mod is for you. I simply "opened" half the faceguard of the italian bascinet so i can see his mouth. I made no changes to the stats of the helmet, it is the same one but now you can see the mouth animations.

Amoured horse caparison:

I simply added chainmail to the horse caparison to give it an armoured look, no stats changes, it is only cosmetic.

I used anothed caparison model than the one in the main file so you can have both, for the amoured one i used the black and white checkered caparison.

Bouche Shield:

Simply a bouche shield for the mod.

How to install:

Important: You can now download the "optional main file" that use the long plain waffenrock instead of the long talmberg waffenrock, use only one file since both also contain the shield and the caparison.

Extract zzz_Holy_Empire.pak and any other optional .pak file in into both ...\KingdomComeDeliverance\Data and ...\KingdomComeDeliverance\Data\_fastload

How to uninstall:

Delete zzz_Holy_Empire.pak and any other optional .pak file in into both ...\KingdomComeDeliverance\Data and ...\KingdomComeDeliverance\Data\_fastload

How to find the items:

You can buy the waffenrock at any tailor, the caparison at any horses vendor and the shield at any armourer. You can buy the Italian Bascinet at the Rattay or Sasau Armourer.

  • The armored caparison uses a different model than the main file, so you can have both equipped without conflicts.
