About this mod

Expand/Replace any/as many factions troop-tree, choose from a relatively-huge and growing selection of available rosters, compatible with almost any mod-setup, automatic recognition of custom factions from potentially any mod(i will add faction recognition for any mod or custom faction upon request).

Plug-And-Play, only hard-requirement

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Hail friends! 

Mod Was Tested with 1.03, work's perfectly with Europe 1100 or Europe 1100 For BannerKings.

choose from a wide selection of historical troops/units to appear alongside or replace the troop-tree of a faction/factions of your choosing while maintaining compatibility with virtuality any mod/mods.

the only hard requirement is Adonnay's Troop Changer(select the version compatible with your game version).
some item mods are only required if you wish certain units to have their respective custom armors, with the exception of the Cuman-Troop-Tree which comes as standalone.

in addition, the mod will potentially recognize any custom faction from any overhaul mod or faction mod, as of version 0.1(very early build), the troop-trees available for selection, recognize Vanilla Factions, Factions from Europe 1100 and Europe Lemmy Project.
I will add recognition for any custom faction or overhaul-mod upon request.

It is recommended that you play with the Recommended Balanced Standalone Bundle(All Factions) version for the best user experiance, but you may customize your experience by simply not enabling any faction you do not want added to the game in your launcher and additionally in the following ways:
*Choose either 50% replacer or 100% replacer version for each faction that you choose to get,
*if you choose the 50% replacer, only 50% of the chosen faction's recruitment pool will be replaced by the new units, the rest will be  whatever units they were before installing. 
(the Recommended Balanced Standalone Bundle uses 35% for the individual factions and 10% for the shared catholic roster, other percentages are the same for all versions of the mod).

Custom Troop-Trees currently available include(please see pictures above for visual reference):

Catholic Devout(Shared between Christian or medieval central-european based calradian factions),
Islamic Devout(Shared between Islamic or southern based calradian factions).
English(Battania/Britton-Gaelic/England),
French(Vlandia/France),
Germans(Empire/Germany/Holly Roman Empire),
Northerners(Sturgia/Vikings/Rus).
Cumans(Khuzait/Hungary/Kipchaks/Central Asia)

Further updates will include: 

Spain,
Castille,
Polish Factions(i.e Lithuania),
Knightly/Templar orders that will only be recruitable from certain factions such as Teutonic Knights.(reviving this feature from Anno Domini 1257 for that extra nostalgic kick).

And Many More!(but no promises ;D).

It's important to note that in order to save time, for some but not all of the factions, i went through many fantastic but generally old and sometimes obsolete roster/troop-replacer/MWB preset mods that have been sidelined for a while now and i thought, well these are awesome, people should be enjoying them! so i revived them, fixed bugs and brought them up-to-date, and in many cases re-adjusted them for incorporation into this mod.
i asked for each of the authors of the mod's permission and more or less all of them have granted their blessings, for which i am very grateful.

The mods that were incorporated so far are as follows:

Cumans (WIP) by hsifles
English Plated Troops by Warzigg
The Holly Roman Empire & Late Medieval English by Skullblade982
Rusich Troops by PiaR
Aedolon Empire by Elenderion
AOE Troops MLW - for CEK by Sargen/JMBThePianist


Additionally, i'd like to thank jangus (xb1 😢) and Nexor on the Mount And Blade Modding discord server for helping me name the mod.
