Hildebolt von Berenreute no longer employs brigands and mercenary armies, he now employs his own militia and his own special troops to fight you off!
This is a difficulty mod, meaning that this will making your game much harder as Hildebolt now employs a massive army with his own troops. You are unlikely to be able to fend him off at first as he will simply overwhelm you.
There are 3 versions of the mod, each with higher difficulty: Standard, Hard and Very Hard. (Hard and Very Hard are located in Optional Files).
Each difficulty brings in new special troops from Hildebolt's own army as well as special troops on the last region claim.
As a counter balance, mercenaries are now doubled in size. However, their costs have also increased from 50% up to 300%.
The mod is meant to be played in the "Restoring the peace" scenario. True challengers will play this on the "Challenge" difficulty. Good luck!
The mod can also be played on other scenarios with the adversary settings enabled and him being aggressive.
Highly recommended mods to be played with:
Remember! This is a difficulty mod, this will make your game harder!

Lastly, please post screenshots and videos of the mod at work, would love to see everyone's armies!
My Suggestion
Play first on the Easy difficulty and when it becomes too easy, simply remove the easy difficulty pak file and replace it with a more difficult one to have a constant challenge as you progress in your game. If you're able to beat "Very Hard" difficulty then you're a true manor lord!
