Why I Still Love Bannerlord Despite Its Flaws Hello everyone I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to share it with anyone who enjoys Bannerlord, or wants to enjoy it more. If you're already having fun throughout the entire game, that's great. This post probably isn't aimed at you. But if you've ever felt that Bannerlord has incredible potential yet somehow loses its magic after the early game, maybe this perspective will help. I completely understand the criticism the game receives. Bannerlord could have been so much more. The quests become repetitive, diplomacy lacks depth, and many of its mechanics never evolve as much as they could. The early game is exciting, the mid game starts to slow down and the late game often turns into a grind. I agree with all of that. And yet... I still enjoy every stage of the game. The reason is simple; I don't rely on the game to tell my story. I create one myself. To me, Bannerlord feels less like a tra...
Hi r/MountAndBlade! Picked this game up about 2 years ago when I was having severe Game of Thrones withdrawal, and BOY did it ever scratch an itch I didn't even know I had! As of posting I have ~160 hours in game, which is NOTHING compared to anyone that wasn't as late to the party as me. Especially compared to the Fallout/Skyrim style games where I have 500+ hours thanks to mods.
MODS. Mods are what keep games fresh, interesting, different, amazing, and just occasionally a little bit stupid. Warband's community has an AMAZING mod prescence so it was only a couple weeks before I had TweakMB and Morgh's WB/WFS tool open and ready to destroy my game files. I'm still a noob, only value swapping like a good script kiddy, so the grand plans I had for a new a 2nd another Game of Thrones mod were tabled.
In the meantime, I've been playing a custom version of Warband that I changed to suit my own playstyle. Personally, I'm a fan of tournaments and GIANT armies. Surely it has nothing to do with reading George R. R. Martin's SideBooks. If you manage to defeat ~63 of the kingdoms finest mercenaries, you should get more than a pat on the back. They won't make you king, of course, but the locals will certainly be talking about that mystery Sword Sister who bravely circled her foe for 8 hours, tossing Javelins at his face and trying not to get poked by a big stick.
way TL;DR
Valor in Combat
A mod that encourages large armies, strong leadership, and tournament champions
This is a cleaned up version of a mod that I have been working on, any and all feedback is appreciated. Just because something works for/makes sense to me, doesn't mean that's the best option.

And now....the (hopefully) complete change-log
