CA - Eagle Rising - Dawn of an Empire (2024)

OUR DISCORD:Eagle Rising

--
Please consider the current version fo Eagle Rising as a framework / platform for our future sub mods.

• We initially set-off to recreate Calradia in its past - not by want but by necessity as we didn't have anyone to create a campaign map.
• With Lemmy's Europe Map - this has been alleviated. Due to polls taken, we will likely shift fully to the Europe Map AFTER the 3.2.0 release.
  

• We have been taking polls in our discord, and it seems with a 4:1 ratio, most of our users would prefer us to go full Europe Map. This would mean we would have an anachronistic faction line-up initially, but we plan for the main ER mod to be a framework of sorts - with historically accurate sub-mods released down the line.
• Hellenic faction line-up is next as we already promised we would do this.
• First sub-mod covered will be in the Imperial era - set around the year of the four emperors. ACAN will be a heavy inspiration for us.
• We may do Marian and Polybian mods down the line.

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.

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 Patreonhere!

If you have suggestions or feedback, stop by theCalradia Awakens Discordwhere wetake 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.

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).
  

New Bodyguard feature(recruited as part of the specialists).

• As an example, Praetorians for Rome, and other specific bodyguard units from other factions. They will follow you in townsDisabled due to a new bug.
  

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.

• If you want to use this with the Europe Map, the ER Europe Map sub-mod is required.
• RBM > Europe Map > ER > ER Europe Map Sub-Mod (As of v3.2.0)
  

Banner-Kings:

• There are some known incompatibilities with BK - use at your own risk. We plan to sort out how we can get this corrected in the future.
• BK will interfere with recruitment and possibly result in some crashes when interfacing with villages.
  

Mods messing with party sizewill disable benefits from specialists.
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 separatemod.
  

TROOP ID's:

• If you want the troop ID's, they can be found in CA_EagleRising > Module Data > troops
  

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Germanic armor currently hides the body, and you will getclipping / invisible body parts if used with assets from other cultures.
• Balance – a never ending pain. We hope to come up withinteresting ways to increase balance without eliminating fun.
• Roman faction is quite over-powered due to how well thegladii works with RBM - Combat module. We don't want to nerf the gladii, but
  we'll be considering other ways to balance out the empire for future updates. Just consider them as "EZ" mode if you're playing as them, and hard mode if you're playing against them.
