An old noble of the Empire leads the rebellion, coming from exile in the south (beyond the desert) after saying many years ago that the current emperor stole the crown. Now he brings a huge mercenary army from the south and sits on some positions near Shariz to fight the empire.

So we'll have
Calradian Empire = Roman Empire/Western Empire
Ragnar Clan = Vandals?
Vegir Principality = Bulgars?
Saranéi Emirate = Berber/Arabs?
Great Khanate of Khergits = Huns/Avars
Rebel Empire = Eastern Empire/Palmyrene Empire/Gallic Empire
I've had a few ideas.
Swadians could be an important part of the Calradian armies, maybe as really cheap low quality units to quickly increase the size of the army, or really high quality barbarians that can cause a lot of damage. When the Empire collapses, the Swadians would be there to take over like the Germanic peoples in the Roman empire. (Franks, Goths, Lombards) Maybe you could have Swadian and Calradian companions that bicker to remind people of the differences between the two
The Rebel General/Emperor could be a really great guy, with lots of great ideas for how to reform the Empire, but this is really not the time for a rebellion and it's seriously weakening the Empire. I think trying to make both of the Imperial factions compelling would really help make this mod great.
Having someone else rather than the Khergits to start with might be a good idea. Baheshtur mentions the Khergits are only the latest steppe people to settle in those lands, that they pushed out another steppe people who had grown soft and that he expects the same will happen one day to the Khergits. Perhaps you could have the Khergit Horde appear later in the game, like House Targaryen does in A Clash of Kings mod.

That's what I was thinking about. Poor guy.

hello,
I will help you with a solid background for your mod, if you want.
I have in mind some good ideas that will be very simple and easy to realize but they stay very well in your mod.
The way to do, its to have only Nords, Khergits, and the Empire. This because Swadians was citizens of the Empire, and not a kingdom like now, also Rhodoks was once a time under Swadia, then they never existed in the depicted age, but they are impèerials like Swadians.
I think at this time existed only Nords, and Khergits: Sarranids was more or less like the Arabs before the Prophet (pbuh) came, a series of independent city-states warring between them and any other opponent.
Then, the best way for realize your od, it's to create these 3 lands only, and put the desert with indipendent city states, more easy that combine all the present kingdoms.
Think about it, as Ramun say.

Are you going to continue this mod since that's what bannerlord will be about?
Ambrois LeGaillard said:
Thanks, that's more or less what we are doing. We'll have also the Rebel Empire (or the name you want) because the background it's all done yet. We have made the histories that the new npcs tell, so the background story it's made. Of course swadia and rhodoks don't exist.
Thane Delphi said:
Yes, we'll continue. It may take a long time to bannerlord be released, and we will probably have our mod ready these Christmas.

Very well,
i continue to observe and see your progress, for use when it will be ready.
Another suggestion: what you think of utilize some ancient armors? If now in Calradia, 1274, we are in full Middle age, I suppose that at the time of the crumbling they was more or less like Dark Ages.
A beautiful thing to do it's realize armor and weapons more or less like Charlemagne's Franks, VI century Arabs or Byzantine Empire.

Rebel Empire works fine, it gets the message across but it does not sound great If they win you're stuck with having a massive empire still called rebels.
You could name them after their temporary capital, like the Palmyrene Empire or Byzantium. Or after the Provinces they base their rebellion from, like the Gallic Empire or Britannic Empire.
You could also give each faction a name, like Optimates and Populares, but that wouldn't look great after one side wins either.
The ideal solution would be to have a civil war between claimants already happening when the game starts, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
Good on you for continuing. I expect it's going to be a long wait for Bannerlord.

Looks very good and it's a great idea! I would love to see the Calradian Empire.
My vote for equipment and troops is late Roman. Ovular Scuta and a divide between limitanei (border-troops) and comitatenses (legions)

Splendid!
Continue on, then, friends!
Continue on, then, friends!
I think it would be interesting if the map started out completely under the dominion of the Empire. Then later, in the same way as the Rhodoks, separate portions of the empire, such as the Vaegir areas declared their independence. Nords and Khergits could horde in their respective areas to represent their conquest of Calradic towns.
Awesome-looking mod!
