Beta Mod Release - Hold the Line: Infantry AI - No more moshpit

Hi all!! A few weeks ago I asked here how you wanted your infantry to fight ( old post ). The top answer by far was "make them hold the line", so that's what I built. It was called Better Infantry AI back then, now it's Hold the Line , and it's out as a beta. Available in Nexus Mods. What it does: No more moshpit: soldiers keep their place in the line and step in and back a little instead of turning into one big blob. AI formations that make contact switch to a charge, so both sides fight the same way. Shields in the front rank: shield and spear first, then other shields, then spears and pikes, then everyone else. Works in shield walls too. No more falxmen eating javelins and arrows in the front while the shield guys wait in the back. Rear ranks fight with spears: the second rank thrusts past the guy in front instead of hitting their back and getting stunned. AI spearmen also keep the spear out more instead of always pulling the sidearm. Deep format...

Mods for "Pre-Battle Preparation"? Plus, a couple more questions. [New Player]

Since i'm a very passionate Total War player a friend of mine said that i had to give this game a chance (I had never heard of it before)

So! I have spent a good amount of hours into the game with 3 reseted characters and i wanted to make some questions to decide what to do next:

As i said, i'm a big fan of the Total War series, but do not worry, i will not compare both games after the next point

Background: One of the first annoyances and negative experiences that i had with the game was the battles, i highly dislike the fact that both my units and the enemy instantly and brainlessly charges at each other with no consideration whatsoever! I know about commands and how to use them, but i'm talking about pre-battle preparations, things like who's charging first IF charging at all, who's attacking-who's defending, etc I don't think it should be as complex as Total War's system but it would be nice to have a small couple of options, even if the AI would sometimes wait for me to attack and set up tactical/formation traps.

  • Is there any adjustments i can make to change this?

I already tried changing AI Battle to Good and Battle Speed to Slowest but unless a general is needed(Only tried with sea skull-drinking-guys I already know your memes ) it doesn't seems to change a thing in terms of the use of Tactics and general time of the battle

If not: Is there a recommended mod for this? I don't want to change much the core vanilla experience tho(for now)

  • Heroes/Companions: What are the Must-Have companions in the game?

I'm not to fond of heroes in this types of games, i never get more than 2 or 3, i know about Jeremus, any other recommendation for passive boosts?

  • Any optimization mods out there?

  • In terms of improving and fixing the Vanilla experience what are some of the best mods available?

For the moment i want to stay as far away as possible from big mods that add factions and units left and right to focus on those that add text only improvements to the ini and coding files

Thanks for taking the time to read this -unnecessary- long text and my apologies for any grammatical nightmares! Still gotta polish dat english skill! Corrections are more than welcome!

Cheers!

Help with the Subreddit's new Guide! Guide is in the Description and Link in the Comments⬇️

So I got the go-ahead to write a guide for the Mods to post and pin on top of the sub and while my 3000+ hours of Bannerlord and wide experience with speedrunning this quest covers a lot, I am sure that I might have missed some neat tips and tricks. Please also tell if there if something that needs closer clarification with more text or an image. The Bannerlord's Guide to Unite the Empire Written by Octavian_Exumbra So you want to unite the Calradian Empire? Well, my child, this is no simple matter. Many great rulers have attempted to Unite the quarrelling descendants of Calradios the Great under one cause and most have failed, so steel yourself great warrior for today you... I'm just messing with you. It's actually a fairly simple process, so let's just dive right into it. New Campaign: Starting off, we're picking Empire culture. When it comes to skills, you have more liberty, but if we want to do this as effectively as possible then we're mainly focusi...

Detailed Mariner Unit Analysis/Tier List for Campaign

TL;DR Tier List. These are my personal notes and I acknowledge it is just my opinion, just posted to hopefully help others S: Imperial Naute A: Battanian Skipari, Vlandian Nauta, Nord Huscarl, B: Sturgian Reaver, Nord Berserkr, Aserai Bahriyyah, C: Corsair Chief, Nord Skjaldbrestir, Nord Chosen of the Sky-God, Sea Raider Chief D: Various Convoy Guards, Nord Ulfhedinn, F: Nord Youngling Testing is done in actual campaign as well as using custom battles and the Retinue mod to look directly at stats/equipment. General Observations: Shields are required, otherwise you get shredded by ranged attacks. Skills and ship upgrades can boost shield health massively, with some like the Nord Decorated Shield crossing 2,000 hp! I've seen Huscarls with 20+ Javelins in their unbroken shield at the end of a battle. You can assume the high tier shields will not break in battle, meaning a single high damage hit creeping through is the best means of ranged attack rather than quantity. For ra...

👥 All Bannerlord wanderers/companions

⚠️ ANNOUNCEMENT While editing my previous post, I bumped against the 40,000 characters limit, which was unknown to me. I decided to take the following course of action: to avoid encountering the character limit again, I split the wanderers/companions and marriage prospects post into 2 separate ones, with "Bannerlord" in the title for SEO reasons. Furthermore, instead of maintaining posts for each branch, the active posts will be dedicated to the beta branch, with a snapshot of the main branch values accessible for download if pertinent. ​ Up to date as of beta e1.1.0; editing in progress, pardon my dust... e1.0.10 snapshot temporarily redirects to the post PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION. The purpose of this post is to provide pertinent information about all of Bannerlord's potential companions. Efforts will be made to keep it up to date, and expand on its information. Currently present are the 64 wanderer templates found in spspecialcharacters.xml ...
