Female Fighter

This is a small, lightweight personal mod that adds several female-themed Men-at-Arms to the regiment roster.
No decisions, no major gameplay systems—just new units.

Localization: English + German only.

Does not overwrite vanilla files (adds only) → should be compatible with most mods.

Total conversion mods may behave differently (event may spawn an NPC with a vanilla culture or may not trigger).

You cannot recruit these troops by default.
To recruit them, your realm must have the “Female Fighters” Tradition (Realm tab).

To take the “Female Fighters” Tradition, you must meet at least one of these conditions:

Have a shieldmaiden-related tradition (Right to Prove or Performative Honour), OR

Have more than 2 shieldmaidens in your court, OR

Be a shieldmaiden yourself.

There is a random yearly event inspired by the “Local beauty” travel event.

Triggers each year until you have 2 shieldmaidens.

About 10% chance per year (intentionally low to avoid spam).

All images are AI-generated. I did not draw them. They are made to fit the CK3 aesthetic reasonably well.

Recruitment is generally easier as a female landless character.
Try camping in specific terrain and re-check recruitment.

Look for their hunting grounds.
