This update overhauls how equipment is handled across the board. The new dynamic loadout system gives every unit and officer the flexibility to carry multiple weapons and swap between them based on situation and behavior. It also removes any unit specific battle stats and replaces them purely with equipment based stats.
Every unit now uses a modular equipment system, with weapons drawn from faction-defined loadout pools. Officers gain even more control through a new interface that lets you directly manage their gear in the campaign layer. Whether you want your commander mounted with a lance or armored with a danish axe, it’s now entirely in your hands.
The large army mode is now integrated in the campaign! It's still marked as experimental until all bugs are ironed out, but you can fully play campaigns with 7 formation garrisons now.
I've also added several key visual and balance improvements, see the full changelog below!

Voor De Kroon Update - May 9th 2025
Hello everyone,
Small incremental patch again this time. It contains a new faction trait system that is used to define faction characteristics both for default and custom factions. For example Frisians cant participate in feudal tournaments anymore and will use onagers instead of trebuchets, while feudal factions wont have access to the onager anymore.
It also adds campaign help! Press the new help button in the upper left corner to get an overview of the current screen you are looking at. It should help some people get underway with their campaigns.
It also adds a couple of new sword parts and contains various tweaks and fixes.
If you experience any issues or bugs, you can report them using the ingame feedback form, here on Steam, or on the official Discord server.
