This mod was made for fun and has no bearing in real history or official lore, hence it will have some inaccuracies and retcons. SANDBOX ONLY!


GOALS OF THIS MOD:
- Recreate the warband factions
- Maintain a fairly decent balance between the factions if possible
- "Update" warband with new factions, new mechanics from bannerlord

CURRENT FEATURES:
- Every nostalgic warband faction returns, including: Swadia, Rhodok, Vaegir, Sarranid, Nord, and Khergit
- New troop trees that carefully recreate Warband troop trees while integrating the noble/peasant system
- Two new factions: Calsea and Geroia, made in the spirit of warband with pseudohistorical charm
- Bannerlord settlements redistributed to make the map more interesting
- New cultures for each new faction to support troop trees

NEW FACTION LORE:
The Calsean Empire is a historically inspired faction that is located in the eastern Calridic empire. The Sarranids and Khergits have yet to make them bend and give up their old settlements near the Calsea and her fertile plains to the north, earning this kingdom their new hereditary nickname as they dig their heels in to protect their lands. Some Calseans refer to themselves as Calradians and part of the Calradian Empire, but others have embraced this patriotic nickname.
They have a double-headed eagle on a rich purple banner, a prideful reminder that they are the last true Calradians, not that it means much surrounded by those who are waiting for their shot at taking the important southeastern border.

The Republic of Geroia is a faction with a couple different inspirations to fit in with the other warband factions, namely the Holy Roman Empire, the Republic of Venice, and books like City of Fortune. Dominating the mountainous heart of Calradia and the southern coasts, Geroia acts as a strong central trading power for the surrounding kingdoms.
This faction was hinted at in the canon lore of Warband. With this in mind, I have reimagined it to be the natural result of the western empire creating a mercenary-kingdom which provided a safe haven for powerful traders that may have fled north from Aserai and Sarranids. Imperial veterans may as well fight for people who will pay them the most, with old veterans having the vast majority of political power in the republic to choose the next ruler.
Their banner is a golden boar on a neutral black banner, a hint at their mercenary nature.

Due to color conflict with the Calseans, the Khergits use the colors of the claimant from Warband which is closer to the Khuzaits from Bannerlord: teal and white.
