Feels very strange that I can’t disband a unit

If something like this already exists, please let me know because I’d love to download it.

I had an idea for a Bannerlord mod where the world actually progresses technologically over time instead of everything being available from the start.
The progression could either be purely time-based (e.g. every X years unlocks the next era) or tied to a technology/research system.

The campaign would begin in a much more primitive state:

- Every settlement starts at level 1.

- Every clan starts at tier 1.

- The highest troop tier available is only tier 1.

The map starts completely fractured into dozens of small clans and kingdoms instead of the current major factions.

As the years pass (or as technology advances), new building levels, better equipment, stronger troop tiers, and larger settlements gradually become available. Eventually, the world reaches the equivalent of Bannerlord’s current late-game, with tier 6 troops, fully upgraded cities, powerful kingdoms, and developed infrastructure.

I think it would make campaigns feel much more dynamic, since you’d experience the rise of Calradia instead of starting in a world that’s already fully developed. Early wars would be fought with basic militia and simple equipment, while centuries later you’d see elite armies, prosperous cities, and massive empires.

Has anyone seen a mod that does something similar? I know there are mods that slow progression or change campaign pacing, but I’m looking for something where the entire world evolves over time, not just the player.

I tried downloading diplomacy but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I don’t know if I downloaded it wrong or if it does not work on the newest version. Does anyone know?

The thing I dislike the most about bannerlord is that new kingdoms can’t emerge unless created by the player, so when a kingdom is gone it is gone forever. There might be rebellions but rebel factions can only later join existing kingdoms, and not form their own. Is there a mod where new nations can naturally emerge?
