About this mod

This mod is a basic cosmetic change to Imperial troops and lord armors. :D

Hello all! I'm sharing a troop tree I made originally for personal use, but I'm sure some of y'all would appreciate a little face lift for the Empire. I always hated that native Imperial troops looked like a motley crew of sem-lethal homeless beggars, and native lords looked like rich folks that tripped and fell inside a Goodwill Donation Center. I took some inspiration from Justinian-era Eastern Roman Empire when outfitting these guys. Got as close as I could, but I wouldn't expect historical accuracy considering I'm not a historian and this is still Calradia, the Dumpster of the World! Also, I don't have the assets lol *shrugs*

Anyways, I was aiming for an appearance that made these troops look like they actually belong in an empire and not a soup kitchen. I made some changes with the weapons and shields, mainly got rid of paramerions because I hate curved swords, and I gave troops circular and oval shields. Appearances are subject to change!

I also made a little change so that kingdom names are displayed as Northern Calradian Empire, Southern Calradian Empire, and Western Calradian Empire. It never made sense to me that they were referred as Northern Empire, etc. Seemed kinda lazy to me if I'm being honest. People from each of these parts of the empire will also be referred to as Northern Calradians, Southern Calradians, or Western Calradians to really drive that feel of there being a civil war.

REQUIREMENTS:

Open Source Armory for 1.1.5 located here: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/2829?tab=description

COMPATIBILITY:

Compatible with just about every mod out there except for other mods that edit the empire troop tree, empire lord equipment, or the empire kingdom names. They won't causes crashes, but if other mods that edit the same things are loaded after this mod then this mod will be overwritten. If you experience crashes, I HIGHLY doubt it's because of this mod.

This mod was tested on game version 1.1.5, but should work on any version 1.1.x. As far as I am aware, there are no changes between 1.1.x and 1.2.x concerning troop and lord equipment, so this mod should work in 1.2.x.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Drag and drop the Calradian Supremacy folder from the compressed file into the Modules folder in your game directory.

Do NOT just dump the compressed file in the Modules folder. The game will not detect the mod that way.

There are no dll files to unblock, so you won't have to worry about that.

Example game directory in my computer: C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules

BUG REPORTS:

As this mod is relatively simple, there shouldn't be issues, but if you see stuff like missing equipment, naked NPCs, etc, feel free to let me know in the Post tab. I will need detailed information like what troop/NPC is missing whatever equipment.
