In the name of Jerusalem

Greetings warriors of Jerusalem!
This mod was originally started in 2011 inspired by the classic film Kingdom of Heaven. But it never release until 2019, this mod has relaunched and remastered. Well, I can assume that this mod is much older than Mount&Blade 2: Bannerlord. Fortunately, it will be releasing much earlier than Bannerlord though :P
Note: This mod does not have any relation with other mod that have similar title of it, all the resources and code implemented in this mod are clearly stated in Credit below.



In 1187 A.D, two major religion has clashed in the Holy Land once again. Baldwin V of Jerusalem was pass in young age, and Guy de Lusignan become a new king of Jerusalem. While Saladin, founder of the Ayyubid dynasty, start to launch his Jihad, aims to reconquer the Holy Land and push the crusade out once for all. Will you fight for salvation as Crusader or become the sword of Allah? Or, would you like to end the misery of the Holy Land by your own way?

• -Kingdom of Jerusalem (The County of Tripoli is included)
  
• Ayubbid Sultanate
  
• Principality of Antioch
  
• Principality of Armenia
  
• Sultanate of Rum
  
• Cyprus (Greek faction, WIP)

• Realistic siege system:Siege weapon remaster、Battering ram、Siege tower、Siege from the ocean、Ballista.
  
• More siege weapon WIP, such as trebuchet.

Realistic fight
• Realistic fight and logistics:
  Lance will be break from great shock damage, and cavalry will get injured from falling on the horse. Except food, water and oat are also essential supplies for your troops. If you don’t have enough water, your troop will get tried; if you don’t have oat, your horses will starve.
  
  
• Rebalanced arms and armor:
  All weapon are adjusted closer toward reality, you need to choose your weapon according your need. While heavy armor is not the best option, as it may limit your physical ability during the battle.
  
  
• Loot system.: After a great battle, you can clean the battlefield and collect your loot, the looting time is depending on your skills and number of loots. While in freelancer mod, you can loot anything from battlefield, including the horse you get from the enemy!
  
  
• Troop exhaustion:Troop exhaustion: You need to rest or set up camp when your people get tried. Otherwise, your troop will suffer and there might be a chance of rebellion!
  
  
• Caravan raid: Caravan raid: You can assault caravan in ambush, it would be the best if you can raid the rich merchant. If you killed innocent poor people, you won’t get any coin from them, and you will have some more troubles.
  
  
• Sandstorm:
  In the desert of holy land, you may have chance to experience sandstorm, this will harm your moral and reduce moving speed.
  
  
• Hunting system:
  The holy land has plenty of opportunity and danger. Poor peasant from Egypt may ask you to kill their local wolf and crocodile. You can also shoot down the eagle on the sky.
  
  
• Massive and realistic battlefield:
  The battlefield is not random generated; they are all made by hand just like Bannerlord. It looks massive and immersive.
  
  
• Outpost:
  Village is no longer defenseless; you can build an outpost to stop the raiding from you enemy. Well, if you have enough troop there
  
  
• Cavalry charge:
  cavalry will form their formation in the beginning of battle, the elite troop will charge forward. While the horse archer is smarter as well, they know how to utilize their ability to engage and disengage the enemy.
  
  
• Sea battle:
  Boarding enemy’s ship!
  
  
  
  Immersive system:
• Historical religion background system:
  You can start as a lord, have their own fief and relationship network. Your family and religion background really decide what is your path. A Christian may find hard to live in Islamic society, while Muslim may not be trusted by Christian as well. This is the general social norm in 12th century in the Middle East.
  Caravan system: You can start your business in the holy land. Find the guild master and organizing a caravan, you can get loads of profit from trade. But don’t forget that business always involve risks!
  
  
• Levy system:
  Like in 1257 AD Mod, the only way to recruit regular army is from your fief. As a lord, you can organize for feudal army from your population, or you can gathering the nobility within your land. So you won’t have a situation where you can train a peasant to a knight in one night. But you can still look for mercenaries from towns and castles, or, you can searching for warrior who are wondering around in the Holy Land.
  
  
• Freelancer:
  Freelancer: You can become a soldier under a lord, gain experience and prestige from battles. You can also get equipment from troop or loot. [Note: The Tripoli region is the best place for warmonger
  
  
• Historical scene:
  There are many scenes that are based on historical figures. And every NPC is working on their own business which give you an immersive experience in the Holy Land. It is still work in progress, but we will definently bring some more content in future.
  
  
• Diplomacy:
  A enhanced feature based on Diplomacy mod.
  
  
• Knight Order and Ghulam system:
  You can join the knight of Order, but you need to prove your ability toward order master, and swear your loyalty toward the God and never engage with any female. If you are an Emir in Muslim faction, you can hire a slave commander, training loyalty and fearsome Ghulam slave warrior who can fight for you in Jihad.
  
  
• Assistant NPC system:
  Once you have your own fief, you can hire locals to become your personal assistant.
