This mod is an update of the known and loved Native game, with 4 new factions each of which has a very loose basis on a real-world country and/or culture.

All of the current factions benefit from an updated troop tree (or at least will eventually, I'm sort of lazy. :D)
At the moment all factions are available in multiplayer. The multiplayer isn't exactly balanced. The Nihon seem to own pretty much everyone and the Khergit Scorpions are extremly good as well. But this is an alpha and the new items still need to be sorted out.

The 4 new factions:

The Crown of Lyonesse: I know the name doesn't imply it but these guys are based off medieval Spain. Jinetes, Almughavars, Rodeleros all make an appearance. The colour is bright red and they are also in the desert between the Rhodoks and the Sarranids more or less.

The Nihon Shogunate: Not a very original name but it gets the point across. Situated to the south of the Saranids, the Nihon Shogunate are inspired by the Japanese culture and have three towns. Kanjii, Katakana and Hiragana. Yes I just picked the first Japanese words my sister could find off the internet but hey? Samurai, Ashigaru, Yabusame and more are to be found. (I've noticed from another couple of mods that feature Samurai that TaleWorlds has some real students of Japanese history. I must state now that this is a. not historical and b. I know crap-all about Japanese history. But that doesn't matter to me. Samurai are cool.Their colour is dark blue.

The Vorroks Clans: The name is set to be changed I only used it because I originally got the idea from Jubal's excellent Southern Realms mod. (That mod was great except the bears. They never worked for me.) The stereotypical medieval highlanders. Their colour is brown and the are situated to the north of the Vaegirs.
The Halrond Confederation: They are based off medieval welsh, irish and english. I was originally going to put the scotsmen in here too but my sister likes the Scottish accent so they got a faction of their own. They are in between Rhodoks and Swadia and are greyish blue.

I'm considering adding some new factions if I can get someone to possibly extend the map a little. Not a new one just open the boundries a little and I can scrunch the Native factions a little to make some room. I'm currently taking suggestions for new factions.

KNOWN BUGS:
Single Player doesn't really work. The scenes for all the new places are quite buggy. And only the Lyonessian troop tree actually has the right items out of the new factions. All the other new factions are just Swadian clones. The scenes are not high on my list of priorities but the troop trees are.
Multiplayer seems not to pick up the ruler's weapons that I put in. This will be fixed with the next update.
No new banners and stuff. Doesn't stop Multiplayer enjoyment but it does seem to cause error messages in Single Player. This is also about to be remedied.
No option to play as Khergit Scorpion. Mainly cause I was too lazy to implement as a player option.

If any more are spotted please let me know and I will endeavour to fix it.
