1403

Its 1403 Calradia. Factions like the Swadia, Nords and Rhodok are back. The Holy Calradian Empire has split in two and on the brink of total defeat. While the western kingdoms are busy waging war on each other new forces are rising on the east. The Cumans! *I feel quite hungry and the sarranids! Pick your side! 


This is not a complete historical re creation. There will be inaccuracies.

DISCORD



Some gameplay features:
-The western factions obviously have very high armor stats compared to the Khergits and Sarranids but Khergits have very spammable calvary and Sarranids have lots of anti armor weapons with blunt and pierce/stab power. 
-The armors are really strong but the neck armor has been purposefully left weak. Hit the enemy in the neck if you want to get consistent bow or crossbow kills!
-The shields are remarkably weaker because of the effectiveness of the armors.
-Most high tier units are now armed with polearms instead of spears.
-Ranged units are almost useless against fully plate knights.
-Knights are like tanks. They will overcome numerically superior units of lower tier with almost zero casulties. (As they should :)
-Throwing weapons such as (axes, spears and knives) are (except some special units) completely removed from the main units.
-A fully armed cuman or a fully armed sarranid will never be as strong as a western fully plate armored knight so play accordingly!

-INSTRUCTIONS-

1) The installing process is super easy. Install the 6 mods required (Butterlib, Harmony, MCM, Ui extender, Expanded Bannerlord Armoury and Orbis Terrae Armarium) And then all you need to do is to install the 1403 file. And then place all the mods into your Modules file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/Modules. (USE BANNERLOD 1.2.10)

Links for EBA and OTS:

Expanded Bannerlord Armory + EBA RBM PATCH

Orbis Terrae Armarium + OTS RBM PATCH 

2) Make sure your load order looks like this (this may require manual adjusting)  (poc color mod goes to the bottom)



3) Load into the game and go to the nearest town. Click on custom series, from there click custom troops and import 1403 Troop Overhaul FULL 1.0

4) ENJOY!

-READ AFTER INSTALLING-

Delete the action_sets.xml in the ModuleData folder for Orbis Terrae Armarium. 2 1 to fix floating archers. Make sure to put your shader setting to Medium in order to not get visual bugs in battles. And keep battle size at 400 (medium) to avoid crashes (Try what works for you but for me 400 (medium) battle size fixed almost all crashes in big battles.) Crashes can still happen as this is still heavily modded Bannerlord at the end of the day.

-RECOMMENDED MODS FOR THE FULL MEDIEVAL EXPERIENCE-

1) Medieval Music (Adds some medieval bangers, absolutely recommend it)

2) Raise your Banner ( I mean you gotta have this one)

3) Banner Editor (So you can give your own family and kingdom good looking flags)
