Cultural Armies Pack

Description
UPDATED for 1.9.1 "Lance" and "Tours & Tournaments" dlc

What this all about?
The mod is designed to bring more flavor and variety to ck3 by replacing existing vanilla men-at-arms with custom one created by me to bring variety to as many cultures as possible and give them a more distinct look

The main goal is not only to give different cultures different names for men-at-arms but also to make them different from gameplay perspective

Whether I did it or not is up to you to decide

You can check the list of all new men-at-arms here: List of All MaA

X Not Savegame Compatible
✔ Achievement Compatible
✔ Ironman Compatible

Features
  • A whole total of 215 new men-at-arms! - historically accurate and culturally appropriate
  • Army Evolution - over time some cultures will develop new men-at-arms units that would replace the old one (mostly for 867 start)
    • For example, you will see the slow transition from army of Franks into the armies of France and Germany
  • Variety of Armies - different cultures have access to different men-at-arms not only in terms of flavor but in terms of gameplay too
  • The Scale - as of now there are different armies for cultures stretching from Iberia and into the Mongol Steppes
    • Western Europe
    • Eastern Europe
    • Balkans
    • The Great Steppe
    • North Africa
    • Middle East
    • Persia
  • New Icons and Arts - new icons and arts for most regiments to better represent and distinct them

Recent Update:
Byzantine Army Expansion
  • 35 new or reworked Byzantine men-at-arms
  • 3 new armies and new Border Troops feature
    • Imperial Army for the Emperor of Byzantine Empire
    • Provincial Army for Imperial subjects of Byzantine Empire
    • Border Troops for Imperial subjects of all cultures if their domain located on the Imperial Border
    • Degraded Imperial Army for those who are no longer part of the Empire
  • Tons of new Icons and Arts, both for Byzantine Army and for other Army Packs

Somewhat important notes
  • Cultures that are affected by this mod will no longer be able to hire vanilla men-at-arms anymore
  • Affected cultures are optimized for diverge or hybridization with other cultures
  • If any problems occur with cultural divergence or hybridization feel free to report in the comment section
  • All of mine previous army packs such as Byzantine Army , Nomads Army , Kievan Rus Army and East Europe Tribes Armies are integrated into this mod and updated
  • If you think that there is a better name or art for particular men-at-arms regiment then feel free to ask for a change in the comment section

Compatibility
Only window_menatarms_type_view file is important for this mod to work properly, that's why it should be compatible with almost everything

00_cultural_maa_types file is used to add new arts, icons and code to vanilla cultural men-at-arms, this file is not important for mod to work properly

More Bookmarks+ compatibility is build in
-Load my mod before MB+, it should look like this:
  1. Everything else
  2. Cultural Armies Pack
  3. More Bookmarks+
-If something is not right then feel free to report in the comment section

If you want me to optimize my mod to work with another mod then fill free to ask in the comment section

If after any update of my mod you wish to continue playing on the pre update version of the mod, then for you I uploaded a separate mod that will always contain a previous version of this mod, you can find it here:
Cultural Armies Pack: Old Version

Supported Languages
- Localization for any language rather than English is not build in, you need to subscribe to localization you want because they are a separate mods


**Big thanks to all people who provided a naming corrections and suggestions for different men-at-arms regiments!

**Some icons were taken and used to create new one from Salicy Cultural and Regional Men at Arms and Innovation Additional Mod
**All arts were found on the internet and all credits goes to the artists who created them

This is one of the best mods for CK3. Are there really no modders willing to take up Koni's legacy?

Sir Ugu I would recommend you go to the CK3 Mod Co-op Discord Server, those guys have mod FAQs and people able to teach you

seeing as both this and the supposed updated version have died, anybody know anything about modding to either help me make an up to date version or take over the mod themselves?
