Hello Lords of Calradia!

The Vespan Knights, a venerable order steeped in tradition and bound by an unyielding code of chivalry, stand as stalwart guardians within the kingdom's annals. Nestled in the heart of Vespanola, their stronghold echoes with the clinking of armor and the cadence of martial drills—a testament to the ceaseless dedication that courses through the veins of these noble warriors. Clad in resplendent suits of armor, each adorned with the emblem of Vespanola—a symbol of unity and unwavering allegiance—the Knights cut a striking figure. From the gleaming helmets that conceal their faces to the meticulously crafted breastplates that bear the scars of countless conflicts, their attire is a reflection of the order's commitment to both martial prowess and unassailable honor.

In the gilded halls of the Vespanolan Empire, where the clangor of steel and the resonance of noble ideals intertwine, Artorius Vespanola, a second in line to the throne emerges as a formidable figure, draped in the regal mantle of leadership that befits the crown of the empire and leadership of the illustrious Vespan Knights. His presence commands attention, a striking embodiment of both martial prowess and unwavering virtue.

Main File*

This file contains the items.xml for the MOD New Male Armor (12 Jun 2023, v1.1.3.1)
1.) Download the Armory FIRST

Where to get the units?
- All units from the lowest tier to the highest can be recruited randomly in taverns(chance to spawn) according to their culture.
- You can check what culture they are by previewing the minor faction information in-game.
- The Units will spawn as guards for Caravans, Elite Caravans and Villager Parties, you can capture them.
- Another way is to fight the minor faction leaders and capture the units.
- You can use the console command and cheat yourself a unit.

Compatibility
- Generally this mod is compatible with most mods.
- This will not work on full conversion mods that have custom cultures, cities and taverns. These minor factions are using default cultures and will conflict with them spawning in taverns.
- This will not work with mods that has anything to do with recruitment.

Crashes
- High Chance that crafting will crash your game.
- If you are using the Optional File and you are encountering errors, please use the main file instead.
- If you still encounter errors, please remove other mods one by one until you find which one is in conflict, you can post it in the comment or REPORT A BUG so that we can update the information.

Additional Information
- You need to start a new game for the minor factions to spawn.
- To hire this faction into your kingdom, the initial leader must be killed, the remaining 3 will open up the conversation for hiring.
- Make sure to download the correct mod indicated by the date and version or else the units will be naked.
- Please know I am an enthusiast only, not a full programmer. Have fun!
- If the armory author request these minor factions removed, I will oblige.
