About this mod

A port to the Nexus (with his permission) of NordwarUA's excellent Minor Factions Armor, which can be found originally here: https://gamer-mods.ru/load/skyrim_le/bronja_odezhda_vanilla/bronja_vtorostepennykh_frakcij/12-1-0-7111.

This mod adds unique weapons and armors to several of the non-joinable factions in Skyrim.

In case you didn't know, there is considerable overlap with Unplayable Faction Armors uploaded by JDJ3. This mod has some of the missing armor and weapons from that mod that nobody(?) has uploaded to the Nexus yet. I'm not an experienced modder and I just wanted the awesome armor and weapons that were missing to be available on the Nexus. If it makes it easier for JDJ3 or someone else to add them and integrate to UFA later on down the line, that's just awesome.

Many thanks to Mr. DaveMaty743registrant and NordwarUA for their permission in allowing me to translate and upload this.

This has been translated from Russian to English from the original mod page so apologies if it doesn't make much sense. It's strictly a port and translation of NordwarUA's mod so I felt it would be best to leave the description as is. Furthermore, some of the weapons enchantment text is still untranslated as I couldn't find out what they did. I'm not really a modder, so it's the best I could do. 

The mod adds unique armor and weapons to the unjoinable factions found within Skyrim. These include: 
 
-Order of Stendarr  - Founded by the Order of the Crusaders, just after the Oblivion Crisis. Has a network of bases throughout Tamriel including Skyrim. The main striking force of the order are knights, dressed in armor with heraldic capes with the Stendarr symbol of the cup of mercy. Armed with bludgeoning weapons and shields, trained to use recovery magic. Sentinels who are trained to use the magic of destruction and restoration provide magical support to the squads, they are dressed in lighter armor with heraldry and are armed with silver blades. The command of the squads is carried out by paladins - knights and vigilantes, who have proven in many deeds their loyalty to Stendarr and the order, are able to use recovery magic and are armed with two-handed hammers or stronger shields, and are dressed in heavy armor.

-Silver Hand - mercenaries and professionals in their field - hunting for monsters. Where their main base is located and who gives the orders is unknown, but judging by their equipment, it can be determined that they are from Cyrodiil or Highrok. It is also a mystery who hired them and summoned them to Skyrim to destroy the werewolves. After conducting reconnaissance, the Silver Hand determined that many werewolves are Companions, so they declared war on them, naturally because of this they have to hide from the authorities, and this gives the group a reason to engage in robberies and robberies of civilians. The fighters are divided into crossbowmen, swordsmen and halberdiers, commanded by trained captains. All of them are armed with the latest weapons and equipment that have advantages when fighting monsters.]

-Alikr Mercenaries - squads of elite warriors of Hammerfell who provide military services for the local nobility. Armed with scimitars and wearing excellent armor depending on the specialization. They represent a serious force in Hammerfell, they also fought against the Dominion for the independence of their state and showed themselves in the best possible way.

-The Bloody Horkers  are a band of sea raiders based on an island in the Sea of ​​Ghosts, dressed in Nordic insulated armor.

-Black Blood Pirates  - Clad in leather-covered armor, protected from the dampness and humidity of the sea climate.

-Khajiit caravans  - the guards are dressed in light leather armor.

-Orc camps - a global alteration of the orc armor, a lot of new sets have been added, all the inhabitants of the orc fortresses are dressed in armor from the orichalcum.

-Thalmor  - Elven armor and Thalmor robes have been reworked, troops are disguised and re-equipped with exclusively elven equipment.

To get the armor:

-Order armor is obtained relatively easily, either after killing one of the marines, or after killing vampires dressed in the order's armor (yes, there are some, sometimes they spawn around the world, stand over the naked corpses of the marines), as well as in the story of many extraneous quests you can get even a personalized reservation.

-Silver Hand Armor is obtained naturally through Companions quests.

-Alikr's armor is obtained after killing them, or if not, then you can buy it in Madran's Khajiit.

-The armor of the Black Hand Pirates and Bloody Horkers can be obtained after killing members of the bandit groups.

-Orc armor can be forged or purchased from blacksmiths in orc camps.

-Iron Hand Bonus Armor is obtained from Hayvarr in the River Outpost.

-Khajiit armor can be drunk from the Khajiit.


The materials of such authors were used:
Basically, I sculpted models from pieces of various armors ported from The Witcher  and a great mod for Mount and Blade Warand - Narf's Men-at-Arms Armor Pack v. 2.0. ... Alikr helmet, scimitars and shield remade from the resources of Mr Dave . Thalmor Armor is a rework of Noldor armor from  maty743 . The weapon was borrowed from the registrant from the modWeapons of the third witchers .
Many thanks to all authors, respect and respect.


Incompatibility:
The mod was made for vanilla skyrim. 

If there are global plugins where leveled sheets for the Marines, Silver Hand and Alikr are separately created, a conflict will arise and the armor may not be displayed. With Immersive Armors, compatibility will be if you move this mod in the launcher below.

This mod also replaces Vanilla Orcish, Thalmor and Elven Armor and Weapons. This will conflict with any mods that alter them.

Known problems:
Perhaps, if you do not start a new game when installing this mod, the NPCs you meet will have old gear, but since the sentinels, the silver hand will spawn again, then there should be no problems.
When installing with Immersive Armors, simply place Armor_Fractions_Replacer.esp in the mod list below Immersive Armors

Installation:
Place the Data folder in the root of the game, activate ArmorFractionReplacer.esp in the launcher or manager and lower it as low as possible in the list of mods, taking into account the point about incompatible mods.

Removal:
Disable and remove ArmorFractionReplacer.esp from the Data folder. Also folders Data \ meshes \ Armor_Replacer and Data \ textures \ Armor_Replacer.
