A free mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, by baobaozizi.
Empire Borderland Troops is a mod that adds three new unit trees to some parts of the Empire.
It is a great mod that allows you to recruit troops from villages in the Imperial borderlands. This makes them blend with neighboring regional cultures to represent the all-absorbing melting pot the Empire of Calradia probably was.
The troops are armed with swords, shields, and pila. They serve as melee line infantry. The mod doesn’t affect the vanilla game balance or story lore, it is a nice little extra that allows these new troops to be recruited from villages in the Imperial borderlands.
