The year is 457 AD. After the death of Avitus the Western Roman Empire had no emperor. Marcian, the Eastern Emperor was unable to name a successor as he died in late Janurary of that year. Leo, his successor had no intention of naming anyone as Western emperor, however he named both Majorian and Ricimer as Magister Militum. However, an invasion by the Alemmani into Italy was intercepted and defeated by a comes sent by Majorian. The victory was celebrated as Majorians, and he was proclaimed emperor by his troops on April 1st, 6 miles outside of Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire.... After the death of Attila in 453, the Hunnic empire began to collapse. Under the leadership of Ardaric, king of the Gepids, the Huns were defeated at the Battle of Nedao in 454, ending Hunnic rule over their vassals. In Britannia, the abandoned Roman colony struggles to defend its territory from the Saxons, Jutes, and Angles who they invited as foederati to fight off the invading northern tribes. The warlords and leaders of the Romano-Britons, Riothamus and Ambrosius Aurelianus who would later inspire the great Arthurian Legends.

Hello! I'm one of the devs of 457 AD, a Warband mod set in Late Antiquity, right before the fall of the Western Roman Empire, during Majorian's reconquest of Gaul.
At the moment we're preparing our next update, which will be focused on the Pontic Caspian Steppes, with new factions, culture, challenges and more.
Our team has been working hard through these years, with models, custom maps, new assets, quests and more and now our team is overburdened of work. If you think Late Antiquity/Migration Era is your thing, that Majorian died too early, the Huns are a cool bunch and the Saxons have the drip, please consider joining our team! At the moment we're in need of:
🛡️ 3D Modelers 🪓
Create weapons and armor to fit the time period. Create ships and other models for use in scenes. Even beginners on blender can help!
🛡️ Sceners 🪓
Create battle and settlement maps, as well as dungeon maps.
🛡️ 2D Artists 🪓
Especially photoshop users that can create art for loading screens and above all textures for shield patterns, textile decorations and so on.
🛡️ Coders 🪓
To assist our lead with all the funky fun coding challenges of adding in new features.
If you like the mod's concept and the idea behind it, and maybe you want to train for Bannerlord, step forward! Join our discord and send us a message. We have an active community behind and your work would be greatly appreciated not only by the team members but by our 457 AD chad enjoyers too.

Hello! We're testing the beta on Discord for the new release. Working on get it done!
When will you release the new update? I am really enjoying it.
Hello there! I'd say soon, but I'm not able to tell you how many weeks left.
Playing with the ostrogoths, after i win a war (without casus belli) against the regnum sciiri or something like that, i give the fiefs to my vassals and after a while, for some reason idk, all the vassals have -70 relation with me. Why is that? I remember when i enter a newly conquered castle some redlines popup saying something like hero, kingodm, ia state i dont remember really well and i deleted that save hahaha. Can u help me?
Also, why i dont receive casus belli to attack the others? I have to wait for like 100 days? I suggest u make the cassus belli more frequently to the player.
Hello there! We're sorry about the bug occurred during your playthrough as the ostrogothic king. This has been reported another time and I believe it's a Diplomacy bug. We'll get to work to fix it! Will also see what we can do about the casus belli.
thx
