Elite Mercenaries Expanded

Hi I'm not an active bannerlord player or modder anymore - but unless TW makes changes this simple XML editing mod (no code) will work on all versions above 1.1.0 - has worked since february 2023 Mod will not be updated

Expansion to my Elite Mercenaries MOD (Both standalone - do not combine)

⚔️ Compatible Version: From v1.1.x - ⚔️

Tier 5 & 6 Elite Mercenaries joins Calradia - introducing:

• Aserai Kardake and Immortals

• Battanian Higlanders and Mounted Highlanders

• Imperial Centurions and Praetorians

• Khuzait Steppe Kheshig and Warlords

• Sturgian Norse Raiders and Berserkers, also Bow Maidens and Valkyrie

• Vlandian Frankish Swordsman and Crusaders

These Mercs are based on culture, which means you have to recruit a Centurion in a Imperial Cultured Town, an Immortal in Aserai Cultured Town etc. (hired in Town Tavern just as vanilla Mercenaries).

The Vanilla Mercenaries are OUT of the game, leaving you only Caravan Guards besides Elites, so no more sword sisters etc., making it easier to recruit elites.

Armor editing (stats) has been done and unique crafted weapons ⚔️ added for some of these Mercs.

- Not Recommended if using RBM Mod

Bannerlord Mercenary Perks:

Charm Level 150 Slick Negotiator -Hiring mercenaries is 20% cheaper.

Trade Level 150 Mercenary Connections -Mercenary troops' wages are decreased by 25%.

Trade Level 225 Sword For Barter -Hiring mercenaries is 20% cheaper.

Steward Level 200 Contractors -Mercenary troops' wages and upgrade costs are decreased by 25%.

Important:

If you have a savegame using the older Elite Mercenaries Mod you can not update to this one because of changes and XML cleaning i had to do - annoying..... i know.…But give it a try in your next game.

Compatible Version: from v1.1.0 as it uses armor introduced in that version.

XML editing only - No Dependencies (meaning low tech mod only used xml editing(no code) and it does not depend on other mods like Butterlib, Harmony etc in order to work).

Works for new game or Can be added to save game - but if you remove this mod again then Calradia will be populated with parties with units that does not exist anymore = crash, as units goes into gamecode.

• So adding to savegame make backup before so you safe can remove again.
