NEWS UPDATED ON MARCH 12th

Hi everyone,

I hope you're doing fine.

It's with a great pleasure that i released Caerphilly castle and town this month.

With our fifth castle, the mod becomes a serious thing (I just have reached more than 800 hours on the modding tool kit) !!!

As i am currently looking for my next castle, your comments are always welcome (but you may note that Scotland is still missing...)

See you soon and don't forget to have fun !

Hippopo

NEWS UPDATED ON FEBRUARY 11TH

Hi everyone

To keep you waiting, I've decided to share with you the first video tests of our fifth (already) future castle, the magnificent and storied Caerphillly Castle in South Wales.

I hope to finish this new town (so including civilian mode) by the end of next week, otherwise I'll have to wait until early March.

Thanks again for your support and your messages, more and more of you are following me on Nexus and Steam, which motivates me even more.



See you soon!

Hippopo

NEWS UPDATED ON FEBRUARY 2

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well.

Just a quick note to let you know that the next and fifth city is underway, and it should be the most exciting for battles.

I'm not saying anything else, to keep it a surprise! The next stage is scheduled for mid-March. So you've got plenty of time to capture Bamburgh!


See you soon!





NEWS UPDATED ON JANUARY 10th

Hi everyone,

Since Europe Campaign Map has been updated this week and now compatible with Bannerlord version 1.2.8, I could upgrade my version of Bannerlord on my computer, and so test Revisited Castles in version 1.2.8.

Good news, all seems perfect.

See you soon.



NEWS UPDATED ON JANUARY 6th

Hi every one,

It's been a long time since my last upload...Sorry but i had to train myself for months for professional reasons (on MS products, so not very useful for Bannerlord modding !).

So I did not have enough time to dedicate to Bannerlord, except for playing sometimes :-), but 2024 is  new year so business on Bannerlord start again !


This new version of my mod include our new castle, Bamburgh castle in England. I decided to mod it due to the Last Kingdom.

I hope you will enjoy it.

I had to rework too the settlements file in order to simplify the update and comptability with Europ Campaign Map  and other submods of ECM.

The mod wast tested on a Bannerlord 1.1.6 version with :

1) Calradia map (so normal game map version 1.1.6)
2) The last version of ECM present on Nexusmods 
3) The last version of Europe 1100 on Nexusmods


NOTE THAT THE MOD WAS NOT TESTED WITH BANNERLORD VERSION 1.2.8 AS IT IS MAINLY DEDICATED TO BE USED WITH ECM, AND ECM IS NOT COMPATIBLE YET WITH BANNERLORD V 1.2.8, SO I STILL USE A 1.1.6 VERSION ON MY COMPUTER.

BUT YOU CAN DO A TEST BY YOURSELF IN 1.2.8 IF YOU DON'T USE ECM AND ONLY PLAY WITH STANDARD MAP.



=> See images for a better localization of cities an castles.

=> See images for loading order of mods.

=> Note that map scenes are not perfect, as i am not a professional and it takes me 50 to 100 hours to create one, and i would like to play with it too :-).

=> Support depending on my family and professional activities, so not much time to dedicate.



See you soon !

Hippopo

NEWS UPDATED  ON JULY 5th


Hi everyone,

I hope you are all fine.

Here comes our update for June (I know, i am in late). An ECM version coming soon.

After Cahir in Ireland and Bodiam in England, the french medieval city of Carcassonne, including Comtal castle, is coming, replacing Sargot in Vlandia.


It was so huge to build (due to the map size and as i am alone) ! I never went to Carcassonne, even if i am a french people, so sorry in advance for potential errors.

I hope you will enjoy; if not just uninstall the mod !

Have a great summer and see you soon (September due to vacancies)

NEWS UPDATE ON MAY 13th

Hi all,

I hope you are all fine, and enjoy Bodiam castle visits and battles, after Cahir last month.

Did your defence or siege succeed ?

Just a sentence to tell you that it seems that froggies like me woke up on Nexus about the survey for the next castles to reproduce .

See pictures for more informations on our next castle.


See you soon.

NEW UPDATE 1.2 FOR ECM

A new version of the mod in now compatible with the wonderful Europe Campaign Map.

Please load the dedicated mod after ECM (see pictures)



___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Hello Guys,

The main purpose of this mod is to replace castles and towns in Bannerlord.

With a few experience in modding, I set myself the objective to create 12 castles or towns  for 2023/beginning 2024, all directly (but freely) inspired by beautiful and real castles and towns (mainly France and UK), sorry i am  a frog eater  :-)

As i am fond of History, i chose my castles on the web by surfing on castles websites.

I chose to integrate these castles for Calradia, but also in the awesome mod Europe Campaign Map (from Lemmy1916).

As promised, I continue to deliver one castle/town monthly in order to replace 12 towns or castles.

All maps are based on historical maps of castles, but without any historical pretentions and just freely inspired.

In May we discover Bodiam castle in the Sussex in England. I never went to visit it but so nicely, a true fairy tale castle.

I tried to obtain a more realistic siege mode to than the existing in the current game. For this castle, no towers, only ladders available,and limited battering ram, so take a look at the videos and be some real warriors !!!

Don't forget to vote for our next castles too, the next will be Torrechiara Castle for June, but votes are still opened for the next months at https://forms.gle/KqoDE8QCq9hP3KPL9..

Thanks a lot for all your supporting comments, I hope you will enjoy  ;-) !!!

PLEASE NOTE THAT:

MY SKILLS AND LIFE STYLE

- Each castle will be in 3rd level only for simplicity reason.
- As perfection doesn't exist in this world, don't ask me to provide it ! I started to create maps to use its in my own game but i think more interesting to share its with you.
- Support depending on my job, my family and my poor level of expertise too...
