Northern Graphics Extended

This mod adds a new, less continental-style castle graphic in the holding interface for all cultures in the British Isles and Scandinavia (except English). Most cultures in the British Isles also now use the Northern graphical culture, affecting their clothing and (for Anglo-Saxons) the appearance of units on the map.

I was originally going to add this to my Anglo-Saxons Use Norse Graphics mod (which has been fully integrated into this) but, since it makes some considerable changes to the game files, I thought I'd upload it separately as not to negatively impact the other's compatibility.

Currently, there are only 4 distinct graphical cultures in the game (Western, Mediterranean, Mena/Muslim & Indian) and they all depict castles that are made entirely from stone. The cultures of the British Isles and Scandinavia, especially in the earlier period of the game, traditionally constructed fortifications from wood with the few stone defences generally being inherited from the Roman era. It was only following the arrival of the Normans in England that such continental-style stone castles were first constructed in the region in any significant number.

Every culture in the West Germanic (except English), North Germanic, Brythonic (except Breton) and Goidelic culture groups now use northern clothing and castle graphics. I'm also open to suggestions for other cultures or culture groups to be included.

Frisian has been moved from the Central Germanic to the West Germanic heritage. It has also been added as a second parent culture of Anglo-Saxon for historical reasons. They have also been given the full northern european treatment, now using northern building, clothing and unit graphics.

This mod does NOT affect the castle holding 3D map model. But, with the addition of new graphics in the Northern Lords DLC, affected cultures should now use wooden castle graphics on the campaign map!


Will reliably be compatible with any mod, so long as it doesn't edit the same cultures. Even if it does, it'll likely just override the changes made in this mod (or the conflicting mod, depending on the load order of the files) and shouldn't lead to any stability issues.

✔️ Savegame compatible - Game may warn you otherwise but, from my experience, this doesn't appear to be true and saves made before enabling this mod will load without issue. Of course, as in vanilla, it won't be compatible with saves made before Royal Court and the recent culture revamp.

❌ Ironman compatible.
