The Bannerlord Lord Dark Ages Mod Just Got A Big Update

hey how's it going everybody welcome back to the channel and welcome back to some more man Blade 2 bord we're going to be diving in back in with a brand new mod spotlight and today we'll be taking a look at anod domini the Dark Ages mod this is a mod that obviously brings the Dark Ages over from Total War into a banord so what this mod actually does is it's bringing over the assets from Total War and the anod Domino mod in for total wara and actually implements them into banord now I have just dumbed this down because it is a very extremely long process however the the assets themselves look beautiful and it's great that the mod team are actually planning on doing this and the brand new update has just released for the latest patch of banner Lord I mean I say that you know this has been the latest patch for about a year now so that shouldn't be a surprise but this new update goes ahead and implements the brand new Empire faction so as of right now we do have four entire factions completely done with Noble units Heroes and all that lovely stuff that is Valia sturgia the Empire and batania have all have their units replaced and it's really just theit and the azerai left to mess around with I also as well don't see why this wouldn't work with the Europe map mod as well I'm sure you know as a lot of the XML changes are just simply transferring over so I'm sure you could just go over uh and play that and only the factions obviously that have been replaced will be replaced but they will be replaced you could have the uh the the Empire factions which take up Spain France and Italy as the byzantines Valia bandia is obviously the Saxons Bania are I believe the Scottish which is great cuz batania hold up Britannia in that map mod and then the sturgeons are Vikings which again are absolutely perfect let's dive into the campaign so we can take a look at some of these units and I'll give you guys a little bit of a refresher as well on the rest of the units not just the new ones because it's been a little while since I've covered this mod and you know you might want to go ahead and see just a beautiful asset so here we are on the campaign map as I did mention it is on Cal Radia but I don't see uh why it wouldn't work on the Europe map mod if you want to go ahead and have a bit more of a authentic experience even though it has just been updated so there might be a few issues here and there but still they definitely worth a try I'm sure it won't take too long to mess around with so let's take a look at the brand new units first as I'm sure that's what you guys are mainly here for and we'll dive in and take a look at them so we do have the entire uh Empire roster Northwest and south or east or wherever they are have now been replaced and uh yeah they look pretty godamn cool so they're kind of representing the the Byzantine forces so if you have that dream of taking over Calia with Byzantine forces these are going to be ones for you does seem like the tier one troop hasn't been replaced but all the other ones have is that's the only time I've noticed it so you're going to have obviously the elite unit tree right here and the assets just look absolutely amazing variants across the board and especially as you get higher tiers they also do look way better in battle because they have all the cloth physics attached and we will dive into a battle towards the end of the video so you can see the empire in all its Glory right here you do have the imperial catrack units and again look awesome I love this armor set as well this is like one of my favorite uh medieval star armors with the arms pened up to the shoulders I think it looks really really cool and again yeah running around with these bad boys on the battlefield you're going to be doing some serious damage and yeah this is the final armor piece again looks beautiful several different variants and that is just simply the uh the normal uh kind of basic soldiers then we move over to the uh the sorry that was the elite soldiers Now we move over to the normal troop tree and again they haven't done anything with the troop trees they are just still the same basis um but again with all new assets and everything like that so yeah you don't have unique tro trees per se in the the actual build of them but again you don't really need to so yeah again you have these two branching trees you have the Archer tree that goes down into the palentine guard and yeah look at a palentine guard these boys woo yeah they look something special right there with the shields on their their shoulder as well looks really good in battle some serious stuff uh over on the other side you have the Imperial legionaries again looking really good equipped with maces peum as well so be a to throw that Javelin and then get stuck in and again their variants are nice and and then you also have the uh the the mallion guys the big two-hander Spears they have Imperial horse archers and then finally the crossbows as well so yeah a very very strong Byzantine force one that can definitely dominate the map oh yeah something I should mention as well and I probably should have said this at the beginning of the video um but this is also reliant on RBM so you do need RBM to play this so if you're not a biggest fan of RBM it's going to kind of suck a little bit um but yeah all the armors are balanced with that so that is just something to I guess keep in mind let's so that's that's the brand new faction that's the majority of the new update was basically just kind of replacing the Empire soldiers and bringing all them assets which is great you know it's such a big part of the map so having all them Custom Soldiers is really really cool now if we move over and take a look at some of the other soldiers that you guys maybe haven't seen or have forgotten about so yeah as I mentioned the Vandans are based around the like kind of Saxon forces and you can see they obviously go down with their Bowman looking very good as well it's going to be their main strength now that's kind of one thing I like about this mod as well is it doesn't really take away valia's strength right valia's strength is going to be it Cavalry you know it's going to be his archers it missiles and that's kind of still still part of it you know the Valia doesn't lose its identity it just basically has a beautiful new reskin which is cool they of course have their husk as well again heavily armored axeman very nice indeed actually know I take that back yeah this this has changed actually so I guess some troop trees have changed slightly right um yeah I mean obviously this unit is is new so yeah I guess they have gone through and changed a little bit or maybe not maybe they did have a big two-hander I don't know I actually can't remember it's been so long since I've played P but again you know just a very very solid chain mail Focus faction looking very cool um again I like their low tier soldiers as well it really does give you a Cool vibe in all the different armors and they're going to be relying on their banon Knights for most obviously these have been the most upgraded ones again heavily armored sax and knights looking absolutely beautiful and if we move over to the banion really quickly again you can see I believe these are Scottish soldiers right yeah they Batum and stuff like that so yeah batan is going to be the Scottish and I feel like that is so perfect because batania always under just constant attack in their mountains and he crying out for freedom and they look really good like yeah again I'm really impressed with the high detail of this mod you can see the armor of them uh with their Elite Bowman lots of javelins lots of good Cavalry and then if we take a look at their uh their elite soldiers as well oh okay yeah okay so this has actually changed them so they don't actually get panium F and okay cool interesting I guess some units have changed them because yeah this is a Cavalry uh faction Okay cool so they're very elite unit is going to be Cav which again is slightly different so no batanian FS which I guess is you know pretty cool and again yeah look at some of these scor units looking absolutely amazing with that tum and then the final faction the final faction that we can take a look at is of course going to be the sturgeons and again if you want to play out a proper like Viking style play through this is going to be the one for you so they have plenty of beautiful amazing asset stuck in again one of the uh best looking factions in I I say that all of the factions look really good you get a real good glimpse of some of their units their Elite infantry are going to be good obviously their heavy axmen it's going to be where it's at they're going to be able to get stuck in just kind of clad in chain mail and some decent armor as well across the board and again their archers with that Shield is going to be a big boom to their their defense ability at the highest tier then of course they also have their Elite Cavalry so it does look like patania the only faction that has had a different change which kind of that's why it took me off guard but because again you know stergio do have these heavy infantry into the elite Cavalry and again they look really cool I think the Viking Cavalry is actually going to be a little bit scary to deal with like look at this full armor that's a huge uh axe as well the bid axe right there that's going to be a decent two-handed one-handed weapon um with the range that it currently has unless that Viking is really short they're going to be yeah a menace on the battlefield so now let me just go ahead and grab a bunch of units and we'll dive into a mini battle against one of the new Byzantine Lords so you guys can get a good look at exactly what they are look like in battle okay so we're finally in the battle now I have myself a pretty juicy Army if I do say so myself we get a nice little look at all the units momentarily I to take pretty much all the good Imperial soldiers so that we get a very kind of good glimpse of everything that they actually do have to offer right now and as you guys can see yeah the the armor itself just looks absolutely amazing so many cool looking units and and soldiers to push forward as I mentioned I think the Cavalry that they have access to is going to be like yeah the real top tier soldiers um especially with RBM as well this Cavalry is just going to be absolutely uh brutal right there there heavy cateracts charging into battle and we other factions with their most recent changes I think yeah we're in for an absolute treat with this mod honestly think viav alone could probably dominate this as this is just a simple raid they have a few militia units but again that's one of the really cool things is like the militia is also been changed so this is another Imperial Town we're charging right now and you can see like the soldiers that you're fighting are pretty good that's going to be the same for the uh for the the cities that you Siege and all that lovely stuff with the RBM yeah it actually adds in a lot of extra flavor um I think obviously having all these units of place not just being vanilla uh and being pretty decent as well makes the campaign very interesting so let's form ourselves up Let the javelins just heav apart and yeah this this Village is going to get absolutely raided look at all that peer going up we'll put the Infantry ni Shield wall and we advance it forward and just finish off this battle and this mod as well is of course compatible with a lot of other ones as well so you're more than welcome to kind of create your own mod list and have some fun uh really messing around with it as you guys can see uh you the Imperial soldiers going ham taking care of this this you know this city pretty easily going in clearing them out and uh yeah dominating the battlefield oh yeah I didn't even show off the crossbows in detail as well so yeah these are the Elite crossbows they have the shield kind of side attached to their arm as well which is a nice little addition and I think that's to do with RBM as well so again you'll be using crossbows long bows yeah this new Bustin faction is going to be something to be reckoned with for sure that is going to do it for the video guys if you enjoyed this and you want to maybe see me play this model a little bit more on the channel do make sure to drop a like and a comment down below go check out the mod I'll leave a link to it down
