If you are using LINNUX: Get the programm PROTON (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software))
and run the mod using this programm, it fixes all bugs that come with the Linnux port of warband (bugged font, etc).
For MAC:
To fix the font you need to delete the new font in the mod folder, for this you need to go to your mod folder:
First, find the steam folder, there you go into the steamapps folder, there you go into the workshop folder, there you go into the content folder, there you go into the 48700 folder (that is where warband mods downloaded via workshop are stored) there you go into the 1612746028 folder (this is the mod folder)
In the mod folder, delete the file font.dds (can be found in subfolder Textures) and the file font_data.xml (can be found in the subfolder Data)
This should fix any issues with fonts as game will now use native font again.
However, shaders for MAC most likely do not work, maybe there exists a similar programm as PROTON for MAC, maybe not.
457 AD is a Mount&Blade Warband mod set during Emperor Majorian’s reign in the Western Roman Empire, during the years that immediatly preceded the fall of Rome and after Attila’s death. Our mod is a total overhaul spanning from Ireland to Central Asia and from Norway to Sudan. This project strives for accuracy at its best and we’ve done a great deal in scholarly research in order to offer you an accurate display of Europe, Africa and Central Asia during Late Antiquity. With more time and energy we’ll improve even more and refine 457 AD to provide you a awesome historical experience.
Waiting is over! The newest update for 457 AD, after more than 1 year of development, has been released on these platforms:

- This latest +year of development has been long and tiring. We didn’t manage to add all the things that we wanted to add in this update, but we still succeeded in overhauling the mod and the game once more! This is a quick, and incomplete, changelog to show you what has been added:
❗ New world map: not only its larger (takes all Arabia and reaches even to Ethiopia), but it also has a more detailed shape, cooler trees and no more chunky coastline!
❗ Many new quests (Finnsburg quest, Saint Severinus quest, Attila’s Sword quest redone, Aestii quest and many others you will have to find out! Make sure to also have good relations with Majorian ;D )
❗ New recruitment system in cities! You’ll need some renown to access it.
❗ New diplomatic and tributary system features: now, if you don’t want to annihilate a faction, you’ll be able to subjugate it!
❗ Hundreds of handcrafted 3D models spanning from weapons, armors, horses, clothing and even some new building! All done according to archaeological and artistic sources
❗ A new faction: Caucasian Alans. They start as tributaries (this is also a new diplomatic feature!) to the Huns and can field among the most powerful heavy cavalry units in the game.
❗ New minor factions: Danir, Augandzi, Scoti, Gallaeci, Vascones, Garamantes, Vidivarii, Aestii, Venedi, Sporoi, Basileion ton Bosporou, Abasgoi, Mordens, Frisii! hese minor factions will be available to trade, conquer and sometimes will offer you quests. If you gain their trust, they’ll let you recruit their warriors and if you conquer them they’ll pay you tribute and their chief will follow you in battle with his own host… Pay attention though: they can revolt!
❗ Many new scripted events and random things happening!
❗ New horse archer’s AI, now they truly are the game changers of this era!
❗ Tons of new scenes to explore!
❗ Many hidden places and dungeons… Full of riches and adventures!
❗ A new building system when you’re lord of a fief: now, when you control a fief, you’ll be able to improve your own settlement by building several new things.
❗ …A lot of many other things I forgot to add!
—————————————————————————-
This project started as a one-man-band in 2019 and now it has a large team with a lot of specialised contributors and this has been achieved only through the quality of our mod, our high standards and a lot of advertisement!
The mod’s development is not over! We are not done yet! Give us sometime to read your feedbacks, maybe preparing the classic bugfixing patch and we’ll resume the active development on the mod. This time our focus will move towards the endless "sea of grass": the Pontic Caspian Steppes and the frozen forests of Russia. After that, we will instead move south and focus on the Kingdom of Axum. But in the future we also have plans for Arabia and…. CENTRAL ASIA!
Bear with us, follow the development and remember we are HIRING! Currently looking for SCENERS/MAPPERS, 3D Modellers and people to help with coding! But also contributors that can help us with ancient languages (old caucasian languages, old berber languages, oghuric turkic, finno-ugric languages, etcetc), that can go through academic literature in other languages and artists to make 2d art! Without considering our need of people to write dialogues, quests, companion stories, etc. Rome needs you!
By helping out our mod in any of the reliable ways listed above, on our Discord you’ll get access to the @Contributor tag that will allow you to access the future betas before the others, when it will be time to test them.
