Historical Accuracy

This mod strives for historical accuracy, but as I'm not a historian, some inaccuracies may exist.
I welcome feedback and I am ready to make corrections where necessary.

Cultures

• Northern Crusaders (German)
• Baltic
• Rus


Factions

• Teutonic Order
• Kingdom of Lithuania
• Baltic Tribes
• Prussians


Features

General

• Geographically and historically (as much as possible) accurate settlements, rivers, forest, swamps
• Historical figures with hand-crafted faces
• Custom items
• Custom troop trees (rework incoming based on De Re Military logic)
• 2 Custom Castles with Lord Halls: Voruta and Grod Jazdow (Rositten)
• Custom AI artwork/screens

Recruitment / Troops

• Need good relations (+20) with the owner of the settlement to be allowed to recruit
• No recruitment in the enemy's settlements
• Can hire troops in castles
• AI visits castles to hire troops/leave prisoners
• Baltic/Rus elites can only be hired in castles
• Teutonic Knights can only be recruited in Teutonic Towns governed by Teutonic Order
• Adjusted volunteers and Militia spawning rate for balancing
• Crusader units lower party morale if player is of Baltic culture (historical accuracy)

Governors

• Notables in castles
• Notables can be assigned as governors to Towns/Castles
• Governor automatically takes grain from the Stash to the Granary if settlement is almost out of food

Relations

• Separate relations with each lord (True Noble Opinion)
• Relation changes on assigning a governor / settlement under siege / starving / low loyalty
• Relation increase if captured hero is released right after the battle (+5)
• Decreased relation gain for the donated lord (was 20..40++, now 5)
• Prisoner transfer to any notable via dialog for a relation increase and town/village growth

Minor Clans

• Oeselians, Latgalians, Livonians, Selonians

Quality of Life Improvements

• Hideouts can be attacked any time
• Increased available money in towns to avoid problems selling loot
• Smiting Stamina regenerates when traveling
• Relation change popup converted to simple log message without the annoying sound

Other

• Cows in the main party produce butter every other day :)


Custom Made Map

The goal of the map is to be as close to reality and historically accurate as possible without compromising the playability.
