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...

The Last Crusade - Calradic Campaign #46

Bravery or foolishness Sultan Arthanias wondered to himself. Which of these things had driven these young men so far from home and into his court. The older of the two, a boy no more than eighteen years, held a parchment high reading aloud to the Sultan and his emirs.

"The newly crowned King Nethor of the Republic demands the immediate return of Ibdeles and Jamiche," His voice cracked and it took great resolve for the Sultan to keep from laughing in the face of these demands.

The Sultan's heart was heavy and his legs fought to bring him to his feet. He approached the messenger who continued to ramble on about trade policy, political obligations, and a coalition against the Vaegirs. The poor boy had not been mid sentence when Arthanias' scimitar had left its scabbard. The speech had been concluded with the thud of the boys head rolling on the floor. The Sultan turned to the remaining messenger.

"Bring the boy's head back to your faux king and tell him this," Arthanias wiped the blood off his sabre with the beheaded messengers tunic. "We have indulged ourselves in mercy for too long. Make peace with your gods. Enjoy your time with your loved ones. For we are coming for Jelkala."

The boy hastily grabbed the head and ran from the court as a cheer went up from the gathered emirs. They thrusted sword and spear in the air as the faced their Sultan.

"Come my Emirs and Knights. We shall teach these dogs what a real crusade is!"

Becoming Involved in the Calradic Campaign

The Calradic Campaign team is always looking for new additions, whether it be scene makers, technical wizards, writers, or anything else of use.

Particularly, we are always looking for mapping talent. Don't be constrained by our regular format either, get creative - an unorthodox battle map, a new dueling map, a really innovative use of an underused game mode, anything!

If you'd like to contribute your area of expertise, be sure to join our Discord to connect with the members of our team. Many of us earned our positions by bringing something new to the Campaign. We hope you'll join us in continuing one of the top community events in Warband!

Donating to the Calradic Campaign

The Calradic Campaign server is our own, and we run it ourselves on a donation basis as we have for years. We now have a Patreon that you can put in a monthly or one time amount to contribute. There are multiple reward tiers with more coming, and with a larger pool of money we can expand our community events (like Mod Night!) as well as preparing for the expected high server costs of Bannerlord.

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 ...
