Separate imperial troop tree
This mod changes the troop trees of the Northern and Western Empires.
About this mod Machine translation
This mod changes the troop trees for the Northern and Western Empires. They're still pretty much the same as before, but with some different troops. For example, the Western Empire focused more on spears because it had to fight heavy Flemish cavalry.
The Northern Empire had the Varangian Guard as senior infantry, their infantry often wore furs, and they also had some archers. The Oathguard troop tree has also been expanded, upgrading already existing units and adding archers.
Imperial villages do not have any dedicated troops, so recruits must be recruited before recruits from other mods can appear.
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.
