Story of the Mod

Also if you're still reading, and if anyone is wondering, I've never made a mod in my life before this and I know nothing of coding or anything like that... At the start, I only wanted to change the Calradian kingdom names to Crusader kingdoms (e.g. Vlandia - England) - hence the name Crusader Kingdoms. One thing led to another and I managed to do all of this entirely learning by asking questions on how to do it around every Bannerlord modding discord there is, and it worked! I started out in the end of September, so I did it in around 2 months through many hours of hard work. So this is in no way a professional Overhaul mod, I only made this to be able to play Bannerlord as a Crusader. I hope you enjoy it!
