Casting Your Vote - Bannerlord Calradic Campaign #54

Lore

As winter starts to break, a Grand Prince begins to plan.

The winter months are always severe in the Sturgian heartlands, more often than not forcing one to hunker down around a fire to stave off the cold. This inactivity doesn't sit well with the famed varyags of the north, warriors always looking to prove their prowess, be it on an enemy in a campaign or on a comrade in an internal dispute. The latter becomes increasing common as the winter months of idling march on.

With this in mind, the Grand Prince had begun to plan a campaign to relieve his men of the ills the cold(er) season brings when a report caught his eye and made up his mind.

The Northern Empire holds the title of being the least battered of the Imperial states. The flow of conflict has them currently at the same position as they were at the start of the civil war, having recently reclaimed the last bits of lost territory and standing above the other two claimants. The term of the current Consul approaches it's end, and their election draws near. A popular Katepano is running against the incumbent Consul in a tight and heated race with tensions running high, an almost perfect situation to take advantage of.

Sending the runners to his lords with the call to arms, the Grand Prince finds disgust entering his mind. Voting! A popularity contest, or more likely whoever has deeper pockets, to decide who leads. Not the one who fights, who leads a campaign, who has proven himself the better. One of his prides as Grand Prince is any Sturgian being able to prove themselves to gain their stations, the best warrior, best commander, best leader has their fiefs, replaced when their better challenges them for the position. Not cowering down to their subordinate asking to choose them over another.

Mounting his horse, the Grand Prince ponders. Decisions decisions for those Senators. A choice between the old guard and the upstart. Which will be the one who faces him on the battlefield?

Glancing at his bardiche, he thinks it matters naught.

In Meta Terms

Welcome to the fifty-fourth Bannerlord Calradic Campaign! This event will feature the Sturgians celebrating the North Empire's election with an invasion.

If the Sturgians can best whoever had won the Consul elections, they will seize Epinosa Castle. They will then attempt to take Lochana Castle in a siege.

Should the Northern Empire's chosen Consul prove his worth against the Grand Prince, they will take Mecalovea Castle as their prize. They will then attempt to siege Urikskala Castle to really fulfill their campaign promises.

Unfamiliar with the Calradic Campaign? Have no fear! The Calradic Campaign is a casual, player driven, story based event. There are no strict rules or signups, and players of all skill levels often come! If you've never tried multiplayer, now is your best chance to experience large scale formations and battles without the overly strict practices typically found in line battle/clan style events.

Victories in our flagship monthly events are represented on the overall campaign map, while roleplay surrounding the events and their consequences takes place both during said events and on the community Discord. Joining the Discord allows you to communicate with your fellow faction members, trash talk others, and rise through the ranks to one day become lord of a village, castle, city, or if you're particularly successful, an entire kingdom!

To join the event, you will need our Calradic Campaign Module. This module contains all of the custom battle and siege scenes used, as well as many stability fixes and balance changes. Most importantly, the module features three distinct empire factions in multiplayer, each with their own unique perks and cosmetics to lean into the different situations of the three!

There will be a manual installation of the module available for those not playing on Steam. Check the Nexus mods page no sooner than the Friday before the event for the correct download. You will need the CalradicCampaign#54 file.

As a general rule of thumb, the Calradic Campaign module should be the only one enabled in your launcher! If you have any crashes or issues trying to launch the game / join the server, unsubscribing and resubscribing to the module on workshop will often fix any issues.

Note to clans: While the Calradic Campaign is a public event open to all, clans will not be allowed to organize their own formations and must spread out between teams. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in suspension from the event.
