About this mod

A simple mod that changes Sturgian culture names to Norse/Icelandic/Viking-ish names. It also re-visits the Sturgian troop tree and adds custom assets.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Sturgia is Norse - a cosmetic Sturgia overhaul somewhat close to vanilla
for M&B Bannerlord

NOW UPDATED FOR 1.0.0+ (also works on beta 1.1.0) sorry for having disappeared for so long :-)

Yes... another Sturgia overhaul mod including:
- Troop overhaul
- Noble troops are Skjaldmær (Shieldmaidens)
- Renaming of all Sturgian characters with Nordic/Norse names
- custom assets:
- Vanilla combo of helmets : Berserker's Helmets, Úlfhéðnar helmet, Skjaldmær's helmet can all be found in Sturgian towns
- Úlfhéðnar shoulders, can be found in Sturgian towns
- Mammen Axe, given to you upon joining Sturgia (this can be crafted but I don't think you can find it in towns, I was not able to! it does come up when using cheat mode)
- In combination with Sturgia is Norse - Lords : All Sturgian nobility re-equipped
(some vanilla outfits are starting to show up again with new versions of the game...sorry but still most are with new looks)

*Newly added features*
I fancied some more fun and diversity for the early game so I added two bandit clans:
- Ferral Berserker bandits with custom decorated two handed axe. They can form camps (not intended but it's cool I think :-) ). They stay in small parties but are deadly early and mid-game if you are not prepared.
- Renegades, they are like looters and can form very big parties as well as being better equiped (you have been warned :-P ). Some of them wear bashed helmets which can be found for purchase in cities at a lower price than their non-bashed version.

NB: The loot drop from these parties can be a wee bit OP, especially early game but I find it alleviates the grind and provides more opportunities for levelling up your party.

Huge thanks to Halfsvear  for his time and effort in providing me with advice on historical Norse troops and to gryphone for sharing his Ragnarr character build (with my other mod Sturgia is Norse Lords see his youtube video here).

Disclaimers

Initially, I just wanted to create a mod for myself, just for the pleasure of customising the game how I wanted it but now that I have achieved more than I initally thought I would be able to, I decided to publish it here for anyone to use. I have used free awesome mods for so long, I feel that this is my tiny way of giving something back...


1 - The only reason I was able to do the little I have done is thanks to genrev0914 's awesome tutorial series: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/2164 . If you are interested in learning to mod check out his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmU61NZYK92eGvLUlPfeukQ

2 - I took inspiration from CK3, Viking Conquest, wikipedia and googling around for names. The idea came from the awesome mod Wrath of the Northmen : https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/1371
This is a much more accomplished mod and the author is no doubt much more knowledgeable than I am. Download the mod, it is awesome!


3 - I am a total newbie, this is my first mod ever on any game! As such, the mod might break with new updates and I cannot guarantee that I will be able  to maintain it (though I will try my best to keep it going).
