Description:
What it does

This mod replaces vanilla men-at-arms for Kievan Rus Principalities with new ones made by me
All new men-at-arms are based on Kievan Rus army during its existence before Mongols arrived

List of new men-at-arms:

  • Voi – Light Infantry
  • Strelki – Archers
  • Polki – Pikemen
  • Varagi – Heavy Infantry of Norse/Scandinavian origin
  • Mlada Druzina – Light Cavalry
  • Starsha Druzina – Heavy Cavalry

Note: You and all Russ/East Slavs will no longer be able to hire vanilla men-at-arms anymore
Note2: You or AI do not need to research this as there is a decision to instantly unlock all the cool stuff
Note3: Only Rus/East Slavic culture lose access to Vanilla/Regular men-at-arms, other cultures do not lose them

Why

I just wanted to play as Kievan Rus with Kievan Rus Army but there was no such mod in the workshop
Now there is one

Compatibility

Compatible with almost everything, the mod touches only this vanilla files:
window_menatarms_type_view – to replace vanilla men-at-arms with new one
00_cultural_maa_types – to add new illustration for Druzina men-at-arms
texticons – Nobody ever used this file on my memory but if you are a perfectionist then this is the most important one

My other armies:

Note: Compatibility is build in
Byzantine Army
Nomads Army
East Europe Tribes Armies
