Legio IX – Roman Expedition in Grand Campaign
This is a simple main campaign faction mod that adds a playable Roman horde faction, with flavor text loosely inspired by the Legio IX Hispana as written in the novel Eagle of the Ninth. This mod will require The Last Roman DLC for its army stances, buildings, and certain faction traits. Please note that this mod is my first, and has not yet been extensively tested for bugs nor balance – your feedback and patience would be greatly appreciated!
- The unit roster is shared with the Western Roman Empire.
- The horde buildings and army stances are shared with the Roman Expedition from TLR, however once settled the buildings and stances should be shared with the WRE (aside from the fortify stance, which will continue to use TLR values).
- The technology tree is a modified version of the basic Roman technology tree used by minor factions.
- The Legion begins with a military alliance and military access treaty with the WRE.
- The Legion begins in a brutal position, with a single horde, no buildings, and few units, while surrounded by enemy clans. To balance this out, the two starting characters in the faction are, to put it mildly, extremely overpowered. This may be adjusted in the future.
This mod will not work with any major overhaul or faction expansion mods, since it edits the main campaign’s startpos.esf file. However, it should work with most other mods.
