Welcome to Mundus Igne et Gladio, the World of Fire and Sword. This is a fan-made submod of the 16th Century Mod. While this mod seeks to improve quality of the translation, balance to in-game items, and expand upon factions within the game, credit should be given to the original Century War Team (consisting of Mskimizd, Ellis, and Yifeng), Khorps who created an improved translation for settlement and troop names, Mariusz Kozil whose art (with mosaic modification) you can see on the loading screen, the team behind the Battle of Grunwald mod, and creators of packs and mods from which 16th Century Mod borrows its assets. I hope you'll enjoy this sub-mod as much as I enjoyed the 16th Century Mod, and if in turn you too will find a way to improve upon it, I would love to see your vision.
The newly expanded (and slightly bugged in the screenshot) troop tree for Knights Hospitallers. Much like their Teutonic counterparts, the Knights of Saint John benefit from highly trained brethren knights, sergeants, and sailors equipped with heavy armor and weaponry often donated by various European powers or handed down from brother to brother throughout the order, at the drawback of neglected militia and regular infantry units. However, while the Teutonic order sought to claim domain over land, the Hospitallers of the 16th century sought to rule the Aegean and Mediterranean seas. Half vigilant protectors against pirates and raiders, half corsairs and pillagers themselves, the Knights of Saint John can prove to be a relic from a by-gone age, or proof that the old knightly orders can still be very dangerous to their enemies.
Shouldn't the armors be Red instead of Blue?
Yeah they should, there are no armors with Hospitaller colors/symbols on them (outside of the older surcoats in tier 2) in the mod at the moment so for now we just used a mismatch of armors from different nations which wouldn't be that inaccurate since they did use armors and weapons that were donated or handed down from other powers. Once we get around to adding in more armor models though (this will be after all the troop trees are reworked) I am planning on adding more armors for the Teutonic and Hospitaller orders that have their colors on them.
