TLDR MOUNT AND BLADE WIKI MOD
To TLDR the above, De Re Militari is a troop overhaul mod that aims to strip out the elite armies typical of Mount & Blade and create a greater sense of the mixed quality that medieval armies had in their composition, highlighted with these four points: This should encourage more differences in play style depending on your army, and also further emphasize the thematic strengths of the factions and limit how much they play the same. While every culture has at the very least a bulk infantry option in their irregulars and one foot archer somewhere in their common trees, everything else is fair game. These different troop trees also serve to allow different cultures to stand out in their strengths, while adding further depth to army composition. Some factions play with this, particularly the Khuzaits who have their own system to reflect their focus on cavalry. Finally, Nobles begin at Tier III and end at Tier VI, following the same rules as elite recruits normally do. Regulars are the actual career fighters of an army, beginning at Tier II and ending at either Tier III or Tier IV - and note that their Tier III is generally superior to an Irregular Tier III unit as well. The Irregular tree contains various levies, conscripts, and other moderately equipped part-time soldiers, who end at either Tier II or Tier III, and make up the bulk of common recruits.

TLDR MOUNT AND BLADE WIKI UPGRADE
These smaller troop trees ensure that players can still upgrade their troops and get some choice in composition, without having to path every unit from the humble peasant as in Warband.īroadly speaking, the common troop tree is broken up between an Irregular and a Regular tree. In turn, these trees have hard limits based on how reasonable it would be for the irregulars to get their hands on such equipment.

Especially for the player, a mob of peasants with pitchforks would become a very well armed and armored fighting force capable of mauling through the enemy quite quickly.ĭe Re Militari is an attempt to rectify that, taking full advantage of Adonnay’s Troop Changer to enable multiple smaller troop trees that reflect different kinds of troops. The introduction of Common and Noble recruits did little to change this as common troops still became high-quality Tier V units while the noble troops only got one tier over them. In turn, this furthered a snowball effect as the losers were stuck with hopelessly outclassed recruits and levies against coat-of-plates or lamellar armor wearing murderblenders. A persistent problem in Mount & Blade is that after a certain point the first few tiers become irrelevant other than as a stepping stone to more elite troops.
