About this mod Machine translation
Praecepta Militaria - Clerici et Milites (CM) is a sub-MOD of Praecepta Militaria that focuses on the tension between the civil administration and military institutions of the Byzantine state. The goal of this mod is to add new estates representing civil (logothétai) and military service (stratiotai), a new national value representing the overall authority of civil or military government agencies, and associated estate privileges, events and buildings.
NOTE: Many manor perks and conditional value interactions are in testing, don't expect actual balance just yet.
Requirements: Although it is recommended to use the main PM MOD, most features of this MOD can be played independently in the original game. However, some building types of the parent model significantly increase the number of new logothete populations.
Recent update log:
March 23, 2026:
Major updates; new laws, updated privilege levels and unlockable rewards, increased interaction between estates (enhancing instruments will reduce the satisfaction of other estates and vice versa). More buildings added/edited.
Core features:
The clerks/administrator population now contributes to location development and increases the speed of integration. If their estate powers grow too much, scaling penalties are imposed on various efficiency and cost statistics.
Soldier populations reduce unrest and increase the manpower/recruitment contribution of each location, but can also trigger rebellions and other crises in various situations.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
