Why Sandbox?

The only downside to Sandbox over Campaign is the missing family Members, as the campaign main story really doesn’t do the player any good…so this sandbox family provides additional role playing approach to sandbox.

If you role plays then see these as a string of options to combine, perhaps quite a “eventful journey” your parents have had if you choose all…but hey it’s your game.


Edit Characters

If you want to edit these family members (Appearance, Skills, Level etc.) then use Character Reload



Important

New game required - you can not use savegame or start with one family member and add more, you need to decide at beginning.

XML editing only - No Dependencies
(meaning low tech mod only used xml editing(no code) and it does not depend on other mods like Butterlib, Harmony etc in order to work)



Megacles The Sultans Wonderkid



Since childhood your father told you old war stories, especially about conquests down south, but only months before his death he told you a story you never heard before - about his secret affair with a southern princess.

He told you that she was with child when he was taken prisoner, and he never knew the faith of the woman or child, but you could have a sibling down south.

From merchants and travelers you hear the story of an false prince of Aserai, who went from being the youngest General ever named and known as the Sultans wonder kid - to just suddenly vanish.

Your search have finally paid of and you have learned of a brother disguises as an merchant and that he is eager to meet you and join up with you. Pick him up and together you will conquer Calradia.



Brynhild The Shieldmaiden



Olek the Old was boyar of the Kuloving, the fiercest and most conservative of the Sturgian noble houses. He fell at the battle of Pendraic, leading from the front - as many say Raganvad should have done. He took many concubines, including your mother, and before escaping she gave birth to a daughter, who was raised in Sturgian Lands.

After many years you have establish contact with your Sturgian half sister Brynhild, and she has agreed to join your faction - pick her up and together you will conquer Calradia.

Morgana The Chosen One



The ancient druids of Calradia was known as philosophers, teachers, natural scientists and lawmakers, who even had the power to prevent opposing tribes from going to war, as their legal and moral authority was greater than any chieftains.

As the Empire came to power druids were considered pagan outlaws and the mighty legions were sent to destroy them, but the Druids did put up a fight as they were skilled with bows, but at their Last Stand deep in the Battanian forrest they were massacred and since forgotten.

However a few of them were hidden in secret places to keep the knowledge of the Old World safe forever, awaiting a new arch druid “the chosen one” to spread their beliefs and knowledge again in Calradia.

Your Sister Morgana, showing special gifts, was taken as an infant never to be heard from again until now, where she has establish contact and has agreed to join your faction - pick her up and together you will conquer Calradia.



Nicanor The Steppe Nomad




Your Brother Nicanor - The Steppe Nomad, presumed lost at childhood after a fierce attack on your home village from bandit steppe hordes. Raised and trained as a Steppe Horsearcher, he has agreed to join your faction - pick him up and together you will conquer Calradia.



William a Knights Tale

Twins Apollonia and Maximus (Child Education system)



Twins Apollonia and Maximus your fathers and Rhagaeas secret Bastards, conceived when he was a mercenary for the Empire. Both 14 years of age - you will go through choices (Child Education system) to build their skills before turning 18 where you can pick them up. Despite being same age(using decimals) sometimes Bannerlord makes strange calculations and one turns 18 before the other.
