Mod Introduction
Eagle Rising is a complete overhaul for Bannerlord, based around ancient Europe and the Mediterranean sea.
OUR DISCORD: Eagle Rising
--
For many of you this will be a surprise, but for the last few years we've been working on transforming ER from Calradian Antiquity to a real period from our history: The Second Punic War. This includes a new map of Europe and parts of Asia and Africa (big thanks to Levente from Burning Empires, for gifting us his map as a framework). And a troop rework, like taking legions from Rome's Imperial era in lorica segmentata and turning them into troops from the Roman Republic.
Future Plans:

BUG REPORT FORMAT:

INSTALLATION / UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS:
IF INSTALLING VIA VORTEX:
You will need to perform this extra step:

HOW TO UPDATE:
LOAD ORDER EXAMPLE:
Features:
Armory System
Specialist Mechanic, press Ctrl + M to use this
Settlement Infrastructure
COMPATIBILITY:
RBM is required, including the combat module.
Banner-Kings: Currently Incompatible
Mods editing Party Size: Currently Incompatible
Other troop mods / overhauls -These are not compatible, for obvious reasons

Future Plans:
- Finishing the mod. It is not entirely polished, but after nearly two years, we feel obliged to release this update.
- Update to Bannerlord 1.3 and possibly the DLC. Plans for DLC compatibility are not set in stone yet and may change depending on how the DLC work.

Features:
Armory System
- From a town, go to the "Smithing guild", from here there will be two options:
- Public Armory - This won't include the best items, but still has a good range and is available to all
- Faction Armory - Includes public armory items but also includes the best gear. Must be a mercenary or lord of the owning faction to use this option.
Specialist Mechanic, press Ctrl + M to use this
- You will default to either your starting culture (if not in a kingdom) or your kingdoms culture. You will unlock more specialist units as your clan tier increases.
- This includes officers, standard bearers, bodyguards, and in the future other special units (such as elephants, engineers, etc).
Settlement Infrastructure
- These replace the daily projects and can drastically improve towns
- This is an over simplified explanation of the infrastructure levels (will expand in more detail over time):
- Urban Infrastructure - Increases overcrowding penalty cap, allowing you to sustain larger populations before negative effects kick in. Food storage limit is increased with each level
- Rural Infrastructure - More food production > more prosperity > more taxes
- Civil Infrastructure - Provides influence and loyalty
- Military Infrastructure - More Militia / Garrisons
COMPATIBILITY:
RBM is required, including the combat module.
Banner-Kings: Currently Incompatible
Mods editing Party Size: Currently Incompatible
Other troop mods / overhauls -These are not compatible, for obvious reasons
CUSTOM BATTLES:
- Custom troops cannot be used in Custom Battle. If you want to do this, you need a separate mod.
- If you want the troop ID's, they can be found in CA_EagleRising > Module Data > troops
- Germanic armor currently hides the body, and you will get clipping / invisible body parts if used with assets from other cultures.
- Balance – a never ending pain. We hope to come up with interesting ways to increase balance without eliminating fun

"Please support the hard work of our team!
Hello plebeians!
I know we previously said we would not set-up a Patreon, but unfortunately the hours required to work on this mod have been much longer than expected.
One of our primary modelers, Garrettich (responsible for a lot of the Roman / upcoming Hellenistic assets that you see), will be forced to return to the military
soon. After serving four years in the military, he had received funding for up to a year off. Since this time is almost up, he will likely need to return to make a
living. Progress on the mod will drastically slow down once we lose him.
Our hope is that through Patreon and selling models, we may be able to delay his return for a while yet!
So if you support the mod, love his models and the effort he puts in, please consider signing up at the link below!
100% of funds will go to trying to support Garrettich so he can keep making glorious models for you to enjoy!
Please find the Patreon here!

If you have suggestions or feedback, stop by the Calradia Awakens Discord where we take up a corner.
We are now on the Steam workshop, DO NOT use both the vortex / manual + steam workshop versions together - only use one or the other.

- Please note that we can only have one version of Eagle Rising - this means if
we release a game breaking update, your save could break. In this case
you can either stick to the Nexus version, or swap over when it happens.
