Cultural Armies REMASTERED

Description
This mod for Crusader Kings III adds new diverse MEN-AT-ARMS ILLUSTRATIONS to every game culture.

WARNING!
The mod is no longer supported with new illustrations, since I have no longer access to previous AI service.
So there will be a little art style inconsistency between some new cultures (persian, breton, berber), which are using illustrations from my new Cultural Armies II mod.

Both Cultural Armies Remastered and Cultural Armies II are absolutely identical in code, but have different art style.



This mod is VANILLA-FRIENDLY, as it does not change the stats of the existing MAA (read Detailed Info below), only adds a unique illustration for each one of them. So you will feel as if you are still playing vanilla CK3.

This mod also changes EVERY vanilla cultural MAA illustration, adds cultural Accolades and brings variety to the innovation icons by replacing some of the most commonly used ones.

In general you will have 25 Cultural Armies in game (250 + illustrations in total).
These artworks were created by me using vanilla CK3 images and some other artwork, with the help of A.I. art and careful editing of each illustration afterwards.






All vanilla ordinary MAAs were completely disabled and replaced with the custom ones with new illustrations and names.

I have not generally given full cultural names to MAA, staying closer to the vanilla naming style, without too much confusing cultural military terminology.

Light Footmen are now generally called Skirmishers (except few cases when it sounds disharmonical) and represented with suitable illustration.

Vanilla innovation logic was edited only for Northern Cultures - now they gain access to European heavy infantry and cavalry in later Eras, while having Viking army in early Eras.

The Holy Roman Empire army is available to Germanic cultures after you have found an Empire, replacing ordinary MAA of Frankish army. Their stats and upkeep are slightly higher than Frankish, simply to create some variation in their usage.



To install more CULTURAL FLAVOUR for levies and knights pictures go to @FLAVOUR PACKS folder in
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1158310\3322349594
and extract any suitable pack to the main mod folder (you will have to it again if the mod gets updated).



This will also change some vanilla arts, such as the "Visit Holy Site" and "Invite Knights" decisions, to correspond with the culture.

What is more, CULTURAL FLAVOUR folders can also be used as a LITE version of this mod. In case you want just these fancy MAA illustrations without mod itself, simply choose any cultural flavor folder and replace the vanilla Crusader Kings 3 files with them. Remember to backup original CK3 files.


This mod does not add or modify any cultures like original Cultural Armies mod, so it is LIGHTWEIGHT and compatible with any other mod that DOES NOT ADD OR MODIFY HERITAGES.

So it is COMPATIBLE with the most amount of mods, including CFP, EPE, Battle Graphics, etc.

Compatibility patch for Big Battle View or Better Battle Window is located in @PATCHES folder.
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1158310\3322349594
It is absolutely not necessary. It only changes levies picture to a banner because the game engine is limited to only 1 levies picture. This mod should be loaded LAST.


Patch for RICE:

Patch for CULTURE EXPANDED:

SINEWS OF WAR is not 100% tested for compatibility, but seems to work fine if you load this mod FIRST. But every country will start with vanilla units mostly.


Mods that edit history files or cultres like More Bookmarks+ will require creating a compatibility patch!

- English
- Russian
- German (may need some corrections)
- Chinese
- Korean


- Hybrid cultures might get access to the same MAA of different cultures upon creation (heavy infantry or heavy cavalry), depending on which innovations were researched before hybridization. Ordinary MAA won’t duplicate.

- For pre-existing special armies you may occasionally see vanilla MAA at the start of a new game, so they may sometimes mismatch the hosting culture. Still I have tried to edit most of them. For example Mongolic invasion army should be fully cultural.

If you know how to edit pre-existing special armies (for example for Norman invasion to England), write it in comments please.


And here is the link if you would like to assist me in buying diapers for my son. Thanks!

@Aristoteles For more historical vibes use Cultural Armies II. Arts in this mod are no longer updated as I have already mentioned in Description.

Can you please change the armour parts of the byzantine soldiers? They do not look so historical. You can take a look at Christos Giannopoulos' art for references.
