I apologize for the sound artifacts in the video. I also have a bit of a cold and sinus congestion so my voice isn't all that great either. Anyway, it should give you a flavor of the new Geroian faction as well as the changes to the faction troop trees.

Hey,

Nice to see a video for the next update, i'll definitely try to conquer the whole south as a Geroian King and then seize the whole kingdom !

The Geroians are pretty good for a small faction. You should have fun doing it. Their main issue is that they start off at war with the Khergiz and so have to focus their early attention on that scourge.

And what about the relations between lorfs and kings ? I found it diffocult to become king in the other mini faction you created (the one between the sarranids and rhodoks) because all the lords love their king.

Apart from that i totally enjoy these minor factions. Any plans for an other one ?
A few examples :
- late roman faction, different from the byzantines, more like an occidental remnant of the empire.
- a crusader faction perhaps ? Baltic or Middle east style ? More of a baltic one i suppose considering the new Geroians.
- a moor / spaniard / asturias faction ? With many skirmishers, heavy cavalry and light andalusian units :)
- lithuanians style between nords and vaegirs ? With light cavalry and heavy soldiers ?:)

So much things possible.

Dont hesitate if you need any help for the items / style / lore :)

I have modded the coding so that lords will be less likely to be indicted, since that was a commonly discussed problem with Warband. It had reduced the prevalence of lords leaving a faction- now they leave primarily when their faction is eliminated. It was a trade-off between too many defections and none at all.

I had originally wanted to model the Rhodoks after a late Roman c. 400 A.D. but that seemed too far removed from the time of the other factions. To some extent the Rhodoks do have some similarities with Romans. The professional troops have large rectangular (but not convex) shields. The Rhodok swords are shorter than most other faction's swords.

You could try a carolingian style then :)

Oh and, what about an invasion feature ?

I actually started the coding for an invasion but decided to omit it from this forthcoming version. When I do complete the invasion feature, I planned to have the invading army be a true mercenary uprising (in keeping with the title of the mod) of the masterless men of Calradia. I would need to expand the masterless men troop tree a bit to make it work. I am trying to code it so that the randomly targets a faction town so that in one game it might start against Curaw and the Vaegirs, in another might go against Shariz and the Sarranids to start. Should be fun but I will need to play-test it for balance since it will have to be a tough enough faction to threaten others and to survive at least a while and at the same time not be too overpowering so as to throw the faction balance out of whack.

A bit late to the party, but I wanted to say that those troop trees are very interesting designs and also in-line with the general flavor of vanilla M&B. Good job!
