Bannerlord | Top 5 MUST HAVE Mods for 2023

[@istoppedcaring6209]

ok I really like bannerlord, it is fun to be a commander whilst also fighting, I like the notion of having all these options, you can marry, you can conquer, you can trade, you can have kids but it's all a bit underwhelming since they didn't really do that much since warband, let's be real the cities are not fun to run trough, the character models were ok for the time in which warband was released, the bannerlord ones don't match up with those of games that are this popular. the missions that were added are not that fun, both the repetetive ones and the whole dragon banner thing, it's just not worth it the game has such a great concept but it could be so much better,

[@DavidSmith-gq3mv]

It's much better than warband though.

[@kinsluw]

i wouldve been happy if they just ran a map settlement and graphics update on warband

[@bartoszm8984]

I think it's sad that things that should be in the game aren't there and the only thing that makes Warband different from Bannerlord is probably the graphics and the map. Things like diplomacy, attacking more than one person or placing buildings in the villages/cities should be in the game from the beginning.

[@kingraptor11]

A lot of the “added” stuff actually takes away as-well. The levelling system, the story and forced clan stuff really takes away from the original story-writing element of warband. And Jesus Christ, how did the 4 polygon mesh + photo texture faces of warband, have more variance than bannerlord. They even managed to make the women more samey!

[@scolate_]

Actually i dont think so. Because MODDERS design the game by requests. So, players are playing the game how they want to play. with implementing mods. It makes the game longterm. I love mods, changing game features by your style. Actual game is not that bad too. Probably developers didnt implement everything because modders can make better with spesific requests.

[@kyle9o52]

This is EXACTLY the kind of video I have been looking for! I got Bannerlord 2 as soon as it came out and already have logged 530 hours. I have never tried mods but I am ready to give it a go on a new play through with the 5 you recommended.

[@brandonlee773]

You've played 530 hours WITHOUT mods?? HHHHOOOOOOOWWWWW???

[@kyle9o52]

@@brandonlee773 It sounds stupid, but I am big on just playing the game as it is. But since I made this comment I got maybe 10 hours into a playthrough with the 5 suggested mods. Now I realize how much I have been missing out!

[@guillaumelang8547]

@@kyle9o52 actually im pushig myself to fully get into the game without mods, I'm at 300h also, I'm currently doing a playthrough with the goal of fully enjoying each part of the vanilla game, after its done i will definitely try these 5 also

[@Griffithwas]

@@guillaumelang8547 What version of the game are you playing on

[@TormodSteinsholt]

One of the most glaring omissions I noticed from earlier M&B was assigning troop groups to command groups. Like how to make a new group out of only recruits so that they can charge looters for XP while the rest of the army stays back. Doing this implicitly with filters and sliders and hope that your companions aren't thrown into the mix seems beta-release quality and I'm surprised that it isn't implemented in the base game as well as among the first things a modder would fix.

[@crpdocumentaries8347]

funnily enough that was in the game but they removed it in favor of their ridiculous auto-sort feature

[@WingItMedia]

So it's still in huh?

[@TheBeaconsAreLit98]

Yeah I have no idea why they did that, it's so bad

[@leonenjoyer]

@@crpdocumentaries8347 yeah my cavalry companion gets sorted as infantry for some reason

[@LethalOwl]

If anyone knows about a mod that solves this issue by now, please let us know. Being unable to sort control groups by the actual unit type, as opposed to just melee, archer and mounted melee/archer, is annoying as hell. Having to meticulously move the slider for various infantry groups to sort out the heavy armored or shielded infantry from the chaff recruits gets very annoying after having done it a few dozen times.

[@sauceless6666]

idk why people praise RBM so much, i find it has a few positives but mostly ruins the balance of the game making entire weapon groups kind of useless same with troops. Although some of it is kind of ish realistic, it doesn't seem to take into account the fact that realism doesn't work in bannerlord that much combat wise because combat is missing a huge amount of actions that would make "realism" even close to balanced, yes a sword swung at a plated knight would be kind of useless but you can't exactly choke up on the blade and go for gaps in the armor can you?

[@obiwankenobi1615]

you are the type of person to ask for a vanilla ice cream then complain "why does it taste like vanilla ?"

[@G_Signer]

hard to believe these options are NOT in the game, only modded, the game itself is only battles to be honest, half product

[@stillcantbesilencedevennow]

It's what I call "beautiful bones". It's a great framework for modders to "build with".

[@charlesanastasia7574]

Yea the game is where you learn tactics how to build companions to become a governor and all the other stuff then you mod once you got that down unless you just cheese the meta or scumsave

[@vgamedude12]

Agree. Bannerlord was a disappointment after how much they promised.

[@charlesanastasia7574]

@@vgamedude12 I don't think this game is a disappointment at all it's a lot of fun and you can mod everything to make this game so in depth

[@vgamedude12]

@@charlesanastasia7574 Fun or not many promised features and depth doesn't exist. I'd say that warrants the title of disappointment.

[@Brubarov]

Thanks. Imo Xeboreax Legacy most useful mod is the "Train troops in Arena"! I mention it because it was overlooked in the video an it is very very useful and immersive.

[@thegheymerz6353]

Great video! 'Detailed character creation' is essential imo. You can change everything about the NPCs so when the game makes the decision to give your sturgian child an afro or change the high level armor you gave your companion when you make them a vassal you can change it!

Played nothing but vanilla for 500 hours now I’m getting into mods and so far I’m finding some really great mods

[@SZK209]

Also Warband had an achievement which triggered when you played the game with even one Mod installed. It kind of sucks that Bannerlord discourages this, and Achievement unlocker mod seems to not be working for a lot of people now as well.

[@lagor76]

well it is kinda wierd to allow modded game to earn you achievements as you can easily abuse the system. If you want to see what I am talking about search CS:GO achievements workshop maps on Steam.

Relentless smith is a must have. It makes smithing less frustrating. Alternatively the 'smithing stamins regen anywhere', which is less cheaty. Also heal on kill is fun, i can cleave through enemies with my bardiche longer.

[@IOL-ox5tn]

Great video, I will definitely download all of these mods. Thank you for bringing them to attention

[@Flesson19]

one so underrated is Tweaks. Not everyone has the same play style or skill and it allows people to customize the game to their style. Even useful companions, better time, RTS so much more valuable than bodyguards. Only choice I really disagree with

[@carrscat]

Hi mate 😃 I've used a lot of mods on various games before, but so far, I haven't tried any on Bannerlord - just wondering if the ones that you've featured here can be added to an existing campaign play through save, or would I have to start a new one from scratch? 🤔 Also, do these mods disable Steam achievements? I don't particularly care about this, as I've never tried to '100%' any game ever, apart from GTA5 years back - and even then, I didn't bother after a while 😅 I mainly concentrate on completing main storylines and side quests etc, but was just curious 🤔 Best wishes to your channel from Liverpool 🙂

Hello, Last night I installed the first two mods you recommend. I did this through steam. Apparently by doing this, it automatically installs whatever supportive mods I need to operate these. But nothing happened. Can you explain how I confirm that the mods are in fact installed. Also, how to find a control page somewhere in the game or somewhere that allows me to set the load order of the mods? Apparently that can be an issue. Anyhow, you did a great job with your information and video, I just think I’m not Skippy enough to make it all happen, as simply as it is for others. Thank you
