Better Castles

This mod adds unique, better looking castle holding images as well as a few new castle models based on culture or region to add more realism and immersion. In my opinion, a castle in one European country i.e. England shouldn’t look the same as a castle in another i.e. Germany. I also thought the art could look better and more realistic. This mod adds unique castle holding images for most cultures in Europe (30 unique European castles) and to regions outside Europe. This mod adds holding images and models from More Holding Graphics for regions outside Europe and a few models for Europe region.

You can click a small castle button in the county view or siege view to toggle holding info in order to get a better view of the castle.

If you like this mod, please give thumbs up.

I would like to (maybe a separate submod) add unique city holdings for each culture as well but I will not have time for the foreseeable future.
Also, using custom scripts (again probably in a submod) I believe it is even possible to add unique castle or city holding images to a single castle or city holding, apart from the culture’s other holdings’ unique images. For example, you could have a completely unique image for castle holdings in Rome, London, Constantinople, etc. or to city holdings. I would like to play more with this when I have time.

This mod should be compatible with any other mod that does not change holdings images. Typically, you will want to load this mod last.

I have made this compatch for Traditions Art+.

I took European, Middle East, North Africa, and Asia regions’ models and some holding images from Scratchmen’s excellent mod More Holding Graphics.
