Hammerlord 0.45 update file

This is the 0.45 update for a total conversion of Bannerlord e1.4.2 beta. It turns the world of Calradia into a popular fantasy tabletop world.

This mod changes settlements, lords, troop names and various text files.

Be sure to manually copy over files into the respective native directories and follow the correct mod loading order in the readme.

The latest version includes new troop tress for most factions, the inclusion of large sized monsters for most factions, as well as aligning all notables with their home factions.

Ideally loaded via Nexus mod Vortex installer.

Installation instructions

After extracting the rar file, ideally use Vortex to load the following modules

1. GoblinSkin ('Hammerlord Initial Load') needs to load first before Native, Custombattle, SandBox Core and StoryMode

2. AnimalsofWar should load after GoblinSkin but also before Native, Custombattle, SandBox Core and StoryMode.

3. 'Rideable Anminals' should load directly after Native, Custombattle, SandBox Core and StoryMode files.

4 Then load 'Hammerlord_Mod_2 a Bannerlord Mod' after Rideable Anminals.

5. There is a folder in the RAR download titled 'Manually place these files'. This folder isn't to be loaded in your Modules loader. Instead, place these files into their corresponding Bannerlord folders. Don't forget to first copy and save your original files!
Here's the file structure for my computer where I place the files:

• D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\Native\ModuleData
• D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\Native\ModuleData\Languages
• D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\SandBox\ModuleData

This mod is compatible with many mods, as long as they don't touch the original singleplayer kingdom, culture, lord and settlement files. Best to turn off existing mods and add each one progressively. As Hammerlord is a total conversion, it needs to be your starting mod.
