Cumulative patch for the collection: https://drive.google.com/file/d /16J0BhXjpRT-zrHmgyIVrcx1PtiibVqEa/view?usp=sharing

(The patch is optional, it does not add new mods, but only adjusts the balance by changing the settings. The version of the patch may change, but it will always be available via this link. Occasionally you can check for its updates)

Collection of 47 mods for M&B 2 Bannerlord version 1.7.1

Collection version 1.5, final.

NEW GAME IS MANDATORY. Exception - you have a save with version of this modpack 1.3. This save will work fine. In theory.

OLD VERSION OF THE MODPACK (1.0 to 1.2) MUST BE REMOVED COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING THIS. Version 1.3 can not be deleted, but copied over it.

Installation method:

The archive contains two folders - MODS and SETTINGS PACK.

In the MODS folder there are folders with mods, they need to be placed in the Modules folder, which is located in the game folder.

In the SETTINGS PACK folder there are folders that need to be placed in a folder at the address (copy and paste into the address bar of Explorer if you don’t understand where it is) C:Users%username%DocumentsMount and Blade II BannerlordConfigsModSettings

If you have There is no such folder, you need to create it manually. Or start the game with a collection of mods, exit and then put the files there.

In both cases, if you are asked whether to overwrite the file, naturally answer YES. The collection contains modified native files required for the mods to work correctly.

CAUTION. Be sure to check the screenshot "Order of mods" and set it exactly the same - mods not listed in the screenshot can be placed in any order. In case you don't have a mod configurator, there is a "Mod Configurator" folder in the archive. Unpack the files from there into the game folder, run it, specify the game folder, shuffle the mods as needed. Just in case, I also included a screenshot with my complete order of mods.

CAUTION x2. If you ALREADY have some mods installed, then remember - I do not guarantee the functionality of this collection even if you add any one mod. Simply because it is not known what it changes there and what it conflicts with.

You should ALWAYS know that Windows can block any “left-handed” .dll files by default, and each mod contains at least one such file. Check mod files through properties for blocking, and if there is one, either manually (but this takes a long time), or use a batch file in the UnblockDLLs folder, which is inside the "Mod Configurator" folder.

You should ALWAYS know that Windows can block writing to the mod config folder (the path there is in the order in which the collection was installed). This means that you will not be able to change any mod settings. This can be solved by simply unchecking the “read only” checkbox on the config folder.

You should ALWAYS know that the SueMoreSpouses mod adds a non-disabled cheat menu from the start of the game. As soon as you leave the starting training site, you will be shown a cheat menu in which you can customize your skills, clan level and much more. There are two options for not using it: the first is to deselect by clicking cancel in the menu, the second is to delete the mod folder.

You should ALWAYS know that some mods (for example MarryAnyone) reset their settings for each new campaign. After starting a new game, you will need to go to Settings - Mod Options, and carefully look at EVERY mod in the list. CHANGING DIGITAL settings is highly NOT recommended, but it won’t hurt to check the presence of CHECKS on some items. Which checkboxes to check or remove is at your discretion. If, when you select a checkbox, additional options open (especially with numbers), uncheck the checkbox - you don’t need to go there.

KNOWN BUGS.

1. Sometimes, after resetting the hero’s parameters or for God knows why, HP gets bugged and increases above normal. It can be cured by saving and restarting the game.

2. Sometimes, the display of expenses for the main squad and the payment to it may differ. Correct display when pointing at your loot.

3. Whatever settings you enable in MarryAnyone, remember - do not try to use the answer option (usually the first one, in English), in which you offer to join your party “for a few days.” You won’t be able to talk to this guy anymore, because he’s out, and whether he leaves the party or not, who knows. He is not shown as a companion.

4. Do not try to load a saved game if you started it with versions of this collection below 1.3 (if you started with 1.3, then it’s fine). Some mods require a new game to initialize the code. They will simply crash your game if you use their functions. Also, do not try to load the game natively or with other mods at all. Nothing will work correctly there either.

When you click on it, it crashes. There is no treatment.

6. Some other bugs are also possible. I am not able to catch all the options, however, I have completed the game several times with different versions of this collection, and no problems were noticed other than the above.

IF your game crashes, and this can be repeated:

If it crashes when creating your kingdom, only demolish the SueMoreSpouses mod. If it's a dialogue option, something like become my wife, etc. - demolish the SueMoreSpouses and MarryAnyone mods (both just in case). These two mods are originally in the collection only because they provide some useful secondary functions.

You cannot run the game without any mod, carry out the actions that previously caused the game to crash, and then re-enable the mod. If you have a crash and you know exactly which mod is problematic, tear it down. When there were still 30 mods in the collection, I carefully tested them, when there are already over 40 of them, I’m simply too lazy to simulate every situation.

If you find a bug, regardless of whether you can repeat it or not, and it doesn’t fit any of the cases described above, and you don’t understand which mod is to blame, and in general you’re in trouble, write in the comments where you downloaded this collection. Sometimes I read them.

Collection settings:

The collection has a package of settings for the most balanced, correct and convenient game. This settings package is located separately and should be unpacked following the instructions above. Without this package of settings, most balancing mods will not have any effect. Of course, for those who are experienced and knowledgeable, this is not a problem, and they can customize each parameter, of which there are many, to suit themselves. It is strictly recommended for inexperienced users to use the proposed settings package. The options for the game itself are not affected by the set, so configure the game yourself. It is highly recommended not to touch the preset values ​​in the settings package - everything there is verified through experimental checks and calculations.

Also, some mods have their settings right in their folders, and they are also configured in a balanced way. If you are experienced and knowledgeable, and/or decide not to install the settings package, keep in mind that in addition to MCM, you will also have to reconfigure the configs in a bunch of mods manually. Not all functions of the mods in the collection are used as expected, in case you thought that this would be the case - with the settings package NO, it won’t be. Without the package, you can turn the game into a complete cheat and only achieve a loss of interest.

CAUTION. Some mods are in English, and they do not have the ability to translate. I personally translated those mods that put their texts in configs. However, I don’t think anyone will have problems.

HOW to use mod functions that are not explicitly specified and available:

1. MyLittleWarband - the mod allows you to create a troop tree. To use it, you need to open the encyclopedia with a list of troops and select Recruit or EliteRecruit there. But you will have to use both - the minimum requirement is to create two trees, since both regular and elite recruits can appear. It will not be possible to combine both trees, except perhaps by exporting - manually editing xml - importing, and it is not a fact that it will work normally in the end.

Once again: Select the above units from the encyclopedia OR go to any settlement and click with the right mouse button (or left?) while holding Shift on the recruit. In general, you'll figure it out. Next, when you have the encyclopedia window in front of your eyes, where the starting recruit tree icon is drawn, hold down Shift and click on it. This is where the unit editor will open. Yes, you can use ready-made troop templates in the game, and even change them, but only within your personal unit tree. By the way, the mod does not save the gender of units, so keep in mind that when importing any tree, all the units in it will be men.

2. zzCharacterCreation - the mod allows you to change the appearance of both the hero and any companion - during the game and with saving. It also blocks the game’s automatic attempts to return everything to the way it was. Unlike MLW, here you just need to go to the encyclopedia on the companion’s page, and at the top there will be two buttons at once - change your appearance and name. Well, we can change the name in the dialogue, so it’s not particularly important. The set of settings set the value at 18 years, from which they are considered an adult (a game with an emphasis on realism, yeah. In those days, already at 12, a male child was considered a fighter), and old age is pushed back to 60 years. What I mean about age is that you shouldn’t lower your age for your companions and yourself beyond the level of 18 years. It should also be noted that reducing the age can be played at any time, making the characters eternal or, on the contrary, removing them from the game by natural death.

3. LazySmith - the mod adds functionality to the Shift and Ctrl buttons in the forge. Keep in mind that decrafting and smelting are instant, but if you craft weapons, there will be a lag. With x5 on Shift it is small, but with Ctrl and large reserves of raw materials it can freeze for a long time.

4. SueMoreSpouses - in addition to dialogues (moronic), adds two menus in the clan and kingdom interface - Spouse Service and Vassal Service. The first allows you to select the “main” wife, look at the wives’ statistics, and something else. Attention - bug feature: when choosing the main wife, you need to save and load, otherwise the choice will be reset. The second menu allows you to edit the name and flags of clans within the kingdom, except yours.

All other mods have their own menus, interfaces or log entries, and do not require a special description to understand their operation.

List of mods and their brief description:

1. Required elements for most mods in the collection: Harmony, ButtlerLib, UIExtenderEx, MCM. Libraries and settings for other mods and functionality “extenders”.

2. AEW - Adonnays Exotic Weaponry - for a variety of weapons for sale and crafting. Contains all sorts of elegant elven things, requires a high blacksmith skill to open the parts, but in fact the parts themselves are so dull. It looks beautiful, but is of little use in battle - true elven equipment.

3. AllegianceOverhaul - to balance the logic of clans and politics. Useful things like setting the logic for joining clans to a player, cooldowns for all such transitions, recalculation of relationships, additional chances to trigger something. In short, expansion and rebalancing of these game mechanics.

4. AutoResolveRebalanced - high-quality recalculation of auto battles, including armor and other bonuses. It is carried out with double precision, where the damage is cut in half - to completely eliminate the possibility of destroying knocked-out armored troops by a flock of robbers with stones and sticks.

5. Set of mods "Better": Skills, Attributes, Combat, HUD, Marriage, Prisoners. Rebalanced bonuses from skills, attributes, etc., improvements to prisoner logic, combat, and interface. Does a lot of things. Improves the return on leveling up any skill, up to crazy values ​​at level 300. Improves the return on leveling up attributes - for example, it increases the experience gained for intelligence or gives bonuses to everything at once for cunning. Includes a vampire and auto heal in battle - 3% damage and 1 HP every 2 seconds if you haven’t received damage within 4 seconds. Prisoners have an adequate chance of escape and an overestimated one if there are not enough people in the garrison detachment: 100 and 200, respectively. Chance reduction perks will now work correctly, reducing the percentage chance, i.e. in this case, per tick the prisoner has a 2% chance of escaping, with perks it will have 1% or 0.67%, well, you get the idea. Marriage simply gives you the opportunity to try to get married an infinite number of times.

6. BigFuckingSwords - for the ability to pull the sliders when crafting weapons not by 10%, but by 100%. Darts and any swords with the handle turned to the max look especially funny. However, this allows crafted weapons to be more deeply balanced to suit the player's needs.

7. DistinguishedService - allows fighters of maximum rank who have especially distinguished themselves in battle to become companions. Stupidly ignores any native restriction on companions. However, there is still a limit of a hundred in the config, but I have never typed enough to really know whether it works or not. The mod is configured for non-cheating use, where you can get no more than one companion per battle with a bonus to one non-combat skill, depending on frags above the required limit. To the delight of the players, the fighter retains his equipment. Woe to the players, if the skill parameters remain as they were, then the attributes go into the minus, since at this level a fighter cannot have so many. It can be treated by resetting in the city, but I think here they will reset themselves and all their companions anyway.

8. FemaleTroops and FemaleTroopsReborn - adds lines of female units for all standard and other possible ones - bandits, pirates, peasants... I didn’t download the latter, but I collected hundreds of marauders, they make decent maiden knights.

9. FixedPregnancyControl - pregnancy rebalancing and the ability to have children with almost anyone with a positive attitude. With my wife - even with negative ones. Abortion options and all sorts of unnecessary things are disabled. Relationship limit is once a day.

10. ForgeForMe is an add-on translated by me personally that allows you to craft random items for money, as well as improve any weapon. Until the midgame it is practically not used: expensive, not necessarily profitable, extremely random. However, craft clothes can simply be melted down, and sometimes very interesting items can be found. The improvement is a malicious cheat, reducing any slow rail to the state of an uber-hibitor buster sward.

11. Hayster'sArmoury - a package of weapons for variety and crafting.

12. KillBanditsRaiseRelations - increases reputation with surrounding characters when killing packs of bandits.

13. LazySmith - adds x5 and “all at once” functionality for crafting using Shift and Ctrl, respectively.

14. MyLittleWarband - allows you to create your own troop tree in the internal editor, and save and load them for different saves. Troops can be dressed in crafted clothes and clothes from other mods, and you can set their parameters and culture. It will remove it, but it is needed.

15. New Male Armor - adds three beautiful armor sets with the best protection indicators in the game. However, for the “realism” difficulty it’s still cardboard.

16. NoArmyRestriction - removes the ban on units with a low number of units joining the army.

17. NoPersuasionPreReject - removes the logic of total refusal of dialogue with a proposal to change faction.

18. RaiseRelationWithTownAndVillage - allows you to pour money into relationships with important people in cities, buy food, improve well-being and morale. The only benefit is food, to be honest, or relationships to recruit troops. Or if you take in a hundred bandits at once.

19. ReignOfSword - for lovers of Zweihanders, Flamberges and Claymores. Allows you to create killer two-handed rails. And this is not just for words - the rails have a flag for breaking through shields. True, a good rail will be slow and unbalanced, but here a mod will come to the rescue to improve the numbers. Just a couple of hundred thousand dinars - and you are the owner of a flamberge, which mows down a dozen robbers in one swing! Cool, right?

20. RelationNotificationsOnGameLog - displays text about relationship changes in the game log instead of displaying it in the center of the screen.

21. RespecCompanionsInTowns - reset attributes, skills and focuses for the player and any companion through the city menu. It's a cheat thing, but I had to use it trivially because it was necessary. If I could put the price for dumping a hundred mowers of dough, I would do it. And so - you can cheat to upgrade certain skills, drop into others, and so on until you upgrade everything. KNOWN BUG due to the specifics of the work of two different mods - when resetting the hero, the HP recalculation does not work, and therefore after resetting the hero you need to save and restart the game. Otherwise, you will get imbued with a lot of HP.

22. ShowTraitExp - shows the accumulated experience of skills. Not a particularly necessary thing, but I was too lazy to clean it up.

23. SurrenderTweaks - reworking the logic of surrender. Shows the chance that the enemy may surrender (high and very high), allows you to offer a bribe, and this works with any options and in both directions - bandits, lords, castles, cities and you - everyone can try to pay off or surrender.

24. TrueRelations - adds the entire family and clan to the relationship system. Generally a useless thing, but you never know. Suddenly you are playing a bloody tyrant butcher.

25. TMCompanions - allows you to move companions back and forth to other clan units through dialogue.

26. UnlimitedCAP - sets the number of clan units to 10, and the limit of companions to 100.

27. zzCharacterCreation - allows you to change the appearance of any character that is in the encyclopedia, including the player, his companions, family, etc.

28. SlowLooters - Slightly slows down, but in different ways, all types of bandits, and also slightly speeds up caravans, residents and, most importantly, the player. But in moderation.

29. SmithForever - a simple mod to ignore stamina for the forge.

30. TroopHealthBar - in battle, shows the HP of your own and others above their heads in the form of a strip - red for enemies, green for allies. You can turn it off if you don't like it by pressing H in battle.

31. CaravansTradeXP - half of the player’s caravan earnings in dinars is transformed into trading skill experience. No more walks with 100,500 horses and a lot of trade. Swing passively.

32. OltoMod_Discard - rebalancing experience for troops from weapons/armor plus adding experience from other things.

33. TrueArenaExperience - makes it possible to improve skills in arena battles and removes the experience penalty.

34. ConfigurableTownGold - adds money to cities, adjusts the duration of filling cities with money. About x3 of the original and twice as fast.

35. DisableCompanionDonations - disables the ability of allied units to leave their troops in garrisons.

36. EvilNoblemanExecutionerEdit - adds the ability to AI to execute captured enemy lords. There are many options there, it’s better not to touch them. In short, if they don’t like each other very much, then the chance will be high. There is also a base 2% chance that the captured lord will be executed.

37. MarryAnyone - Allows you to get married bypassing the native method - Also occasionally increases the relationship between the character and his wife, and in battle increases the relationship between companions who kill enemies close enough to each other.

38. AdoptCompanions. Allows you to accept companions into the family in the form of a brother/sister or son/daughter.

39. FillStacks - removes AI cheating when, after defeat, the lord appears with a starting army of 30-60 people. Now he will be alone.

40. SueMoreSpouses - allows you to turn prisoners and companions of the opposite sex into spouses. Adds a cheat menu at the beginning of the game, it is highly recommended to simply skip it. It also adds some other options, the mod is not fully tested.

41. BannerLib - another common library for mods, so far only required for one.

42. DontInterruptMe - removes the interruption of the hero’s movement/attacks. I'm not sure whether physics counts or not.

43. PartiesUseHorses - should increase the speed of all AI units due to their horse recruitment logic.

44. PlayerExecuteEdit - allows the player to adequately execute prisoners with low losses, but with a big disadvantage to the relationship of the executed person’s family/clan/faction. You can also take away the equipment of the executed person.

45. RoyalArmouryFix - allows you to buy rare and expensive things in the citadel of any city. An entrance fee is required; the quantity and quality of things depends on the owner’s attitude towards you.

46. SortedIncome - and its crack. Compresses the shutter speed of cash expenditures and receipts when pointing at your loot.

47. SortedTradeRumorList - Russified. Sorts rumors about prices, where the most profitable cities for buying and selling will be shown above.
