About this mod
Simple troop tree modification that makes the Kievan Rus' inspired Sturgia more Nordic.
- Permissions and credits
The native Sturgian troop tree feels very Slavic with only the high tier archers and berserkers offering viking style. Disclaimer: I didn't spend too much time on this, I was not even originally gonna post it.
Is the mod balanced? Probably not. But hey, now the Sturgian faction is more flexible and you can roleplay as a Slavic boyar or a Norse jarl!
Changes:
- Berserker is now upgraded from Sturgian Warrior Son.
Reason: Since berserkers were almost mythical elite warriors, I felt they should be a bit more rare and hard to get.
- Sturgian Soldier branches into Varyag or Spearman
- Spearman acts as the Slavic branch while Varyag is the Nordic branch.
- Spearman branches into Druzhinnik or Sturgian Veteran Warrior.
- Varyag Branches into Veteran Varyag or Sturgian Shock Troop.
- Some troops have changed equipment
- Varyag and Veteran Varyag have viking helmets instead of the Slavic helmets they used to have. They also have a two handed axe now.
Reason: Varangian guard were known for fighting with dane axes. And I didn't like the original helmets.
- Sturgian Shock Troop has a cape and a different helmet. Also increased the stats that were previously on par with Sturgian Spearman.
Installation:
Go to Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\SandBoxCore\ModuleData and make a backup copy of "spnpccharacters" and then paste the "spnpccharacters" file from the mod there. Then just start a new campaign!
