My Favorite Small Mods For Bannerlord (Non-Overhaul Mods)

[@gamegeek1995]

Hey, I'm the creator of Tutelage! Glad you liked it!

[@Strat-Guides]

Oh nice, thank you for your work! I was looking for something to help keep the companion heavy campaign moving forward and I've found this to be a huge help. A lot of companions are hitting 25 medicine without having to micro them into the surgeon role, or the low combat skills will boost up to a usable level after a year or so and without risking them in battle. A+ :D

[@deleted4476]

small question but can you please add it to nexus mods, i think the mod is cool and i wanna try it but i can't because it's only accessible through workshop

[@Davonskevort]

how do you make something like this? lots of coding or something else?

[@finhula]

Great work bro and yes I'm also another comment saying please could you put it on Nexus?

[@C7S123R8P0M3]

Awesome mod, dude. Would you allow someone else to upload it to Nexus Mods? Giving you the proper credit, naturally. That way people who play the game in Epic can also enjoy your mod and you don't have to upload it yourself.

[@zipzapman]

Thanks for the small mod list! It’s annoying to have to dig through mod pages to see what’s still being updated and what new mods are out there.

[@Strat-Guides]

Yeah it's a big pain to go through trial and error! I'm happy to help :)

[@PaddyyYY]

having a "translation" category on the steam workshop would help a bit. No idea why it isn't there. But setting it on latest updated usually helps to find new and interesting mods.

@@Strat-Guides Am I missing something or does the smithing mod delete the stage where it shows all your bonuses on a weapon when your perks kick in? That's a bit of a drag.

[@Taktich]

I definitely use all the mods you listed. I also can't seem to live without Improved Garrisons. Just saves so much time when you're doing world conquest. Also, if you haven't tried Raise your Torch and Perfect Fire Arrows, they go great with Realistic Weather.

I know there are a bunch out there, but do you have any that you would recommend? Thanks!

[@lodestarlondon8850]

Great video like always! I use an auto clicker for Smithing but the mod you talk about seems better.

[@Strat-Guides]

Thanks! Yeah there are a few other things the mod does really well that an autoclicker can't like getting rid of the pop up each time you make an item lol it's nice at first but when you're trying to bulk smith it's really annoying. The mod also labels the weapons with a tag - so if you don't have the skill required it adds the tags "broken" or "rusty" etc. and if you get a lucky roll with the perks it labels "fine" and "master".

If I had to add 5 more to that list it would probably be: EncyclopediaExtender, FireArrows, Party Screen Enhancements, War Cry & Immersive Sergeant. There are more, bigger, mods I consider essential for my games, but these are all very small and don't really change the game.

a good mod for immersion is random events. its just stuff happening once in a while. youll get a textbox describing an event. it gets repetitive after a while but i do really like it. the author of the mod adds new events once in a while i broke bannerlord with my modding and i cant figure out what i did wrong. the save was working for 50 hours and then it broke all of a sudden :D

[@gerritvalkering1068]

I haven't found the better smithing mod on steam, so I might have to go find it on nexus or somewhere, because that is amazing. Both being able to do things in bulk as well as saving designs. Do the designs carry over cross-saves? Or do I save the designs every new campaign? Tying into the smithing mod: 'Wait until rested'. Wanna do a lot of smithing (mainly smelting, probably) at once? You don't want to pay constant attention to how much time has passed? This mod adds an option in town to wait until your smithing stamina is full. It will only check the main character though. One I like is 'improved garrisons'. It allows you to set construction queue items without needing to be at the fief, add more than 10.000 denars at a time to the production funds, and set a maximum size for the garrison. It also allows you to send units from one garrison to another without having to ferry them personally. Those troops can still get ambushed by enemies or raiders, btw, they function as a normal party travelling the map. You can furhter send out guard troops to patrol against bandits, set preferred upgrade paths for the garrison and more. Situational is 'governors handle issues'. With tutelage it may not be that critical anymore. Basically, governors will resolve the issues of the town or castle they govern and attached villages. It gives them charm xp as well as random xp in things like medicine, one handed etc, and raise relations with notables. They can also fail. It stops security and/or morale from breaking down because there are unresolved issues. Though the mod allows you to limit which issues the AI resolves, it does mean there may not be anything for you to do in that area, if you enjoy that sort of thing.

[@Strat-Guides]

Yeah that's my biggest issue with the steam workshop - not all the mods are on there yet. Good question about designs carrying over, I'm not sure! I'll have to test it out today.

[@wolfgangzeiler2605]

Thank you, good infos. Something for everybody, I think. While I would for example never use a mod to distribute items automatically (I use companions to equip them), I immediately downloaded Better Time. Exactly what I wanted. Tutelage sounds good too, but I don't like the Steam Workshop. BTW a mod I highly appreciate is Configurable Battle Scenes. You can exclude some annoying maps from battles with it, however I use it only for it's other ingenious feature, being able to define a time for battles, to get rid of the pesky night combat.

[@Strat-Guides]

Yeah I was sad Tutelage wasn't on nexus, but the workshop was pretty easy to use. Oooh interesting, that would make a big difference for me because it's a pain to color-grade those night time battles for videos. It always looks grainy too. Good suggestion, I'm going to look it up :)

[@bombidil3]

[@kanrakucheese]

Ctrl and Shift as modifiers for how many units you use/move is a really, really underutilized thing in video games. Morrowind (ctrl click moves one of a stack, shift click moves all of a stack, both skip asking how many you want to move) and Mount and Blade (but not everywhere, since this mod is a thing) are the only two games I can think of that do it.

[@Biomirth]

I think it is important to note that many of these have not been updated for awhile. If they all work at the time of releasing this video with most current version(s) of game I think it would very nice to mention that. I'm going through each one's comments on Nexus and see that some work, some not (according to 'people'). Again, if that is the case, would be good to mention.

[@Strat-Guides]

Everything listed here is on my current mod list for a campaign I'm working on, so they all work on the current patch. I've had this campaign running for over a month so it also worked on the previous 2 patches. Sorry I should have mentioned that!

[@teloriun1974]

Tutelage looks interesting, and I hope that it gets uploaded to Nexus someday as sadly not all of us have Bannerlord on Steam. :( Party Screen Enhancements is another quality of life mod that I have in every play-through which doesn't add cheese, just the simple ability to re-order your party screen instead of drag dropping them all the time...just another feature which should be in the base game.

[@jaredare2710]

On unlimitedcap the parties actually doesn't effect your party size, but rather the maximum number of parties led by companions and family you can have. Also, I've found that unlimitedcap had a glitch that caused all of the other kingdoms to declare war on whatever kingdom you're a vassal of. I don't believe it applies to mercenaries, and I don't know about kings.

[@brandonzzz9924]

I'm fairly certain that it isn't a glitch, just an oversight in design. Kingdoms in Bannerlord are weird at diplomacy, and will declare war on other kingdoms that are weaker (makes sense), and also other kingdoms that are stronger (what?). I assume this is a mechanic that curtails domination by one kingdoms when multiple weaker kingdoms seek to restore balance of power. Each kingdom's strength is based on the number of parties (maybe available parties?), number of men, and number of notables. If you have a ton of companions, the other kingdoms will think your kingdom is becoming a new Empire and seek to join forces to stop it. It seems that companions are considered lords or nobles or something once you become a vassal.

[@jaredare2710]

@@brandonzzz9924 When this happened to me my kingdom was relatively even, maybe slightly ahead, was declared war on by like 3 kingdoms, declared war on another 3, and lost half of their territories whilst declaring war on anyone else that they could. It seemed like a huge glitch for me as I'd never had a kingdom that was behind be so aggressive in declaring wars while still at war with other kingdoms. I also had no additional parties at the time, maybe a couple caravans.

[@brandonzzz9924]

@@jaredare2710 I heard someone say that party limit and companion limit are taken into diplomacy (maybe a year ago). My guess is that it is not a glitch, just thoughtless code. I've had the same happen and it seems that the diplomacy is coupled to a bunch of different non-diplomatic variables. I'm still at Paradox level modding, so I can't look at the code to tell you what's going on, but I suspect it's the ai relative strength evaluation that is heavily skewed towards the player in order to center the campaign on the player. Hopefully they add a setting for ai aggression at some point. Or allow charm skill to work in diplomacy. That would be cool

[@DefaultGatewayable]

What about the super speed toggle mod? Speeds up simulations, for if you want sieges to just end or find a big pack of looters just to send your companions in to clean up and get really nice XP. Also if you outnumber someone in a simulation they go stand in the far corner of the map, you just move your troops closer and speed up so it doesn't take 5 min to move everyone over.

[@divisiondevin7885]

Can you do a "battle tactics for dummies"? I feel like I'm doing war wrong with higher losses than necessary.

[@divisiondevin7885]

[@gerritvalkering1068]

Basic tactics that will win most battles even when somewhat outnumbered is a group of shield infantry out front in shield wall formation, archers or crossbows a ways back and cavalry spread out right behind the archers to body block any enemy cavalry charging through your lines. When dealing with a lot of horse archers I set my cavalry a little further back. My two most common mistakes earlier on were not setting the infantry into shield wall and putting my archers too close behind my infantry. Shieldwall drastically reduces losses early on against cavalry charges and ranged attacks. It works as a delaying tactic against infantry, but isn't that great at that stage. The archers need to be about 12 'lines' back at least. You won't win an archery duel like that, but that's ok. Enemy archers are targetting your shieldwall anyway. Stand too close and they'd get hit by stray shots, targeted directly by enemy ranged, or spillover from the infantry clash starts swinging through their line. I tend to play with infantry heavy armies though, about 35% melee, 45% ranged and only 20% cavalry

[@Biomirth]

I actually need this as well for really large battles with respawn points. My usual tactics of moving to the side of the enemy are no good and I either get my allies slaughtered or my own troops. (Allies go slowly up the middle with a stupid cav charge for good measure).

Talewords is lucky that modders carry their game. Otherwise it's longevity would not be very long.

[@davidadams7602]

Nunya you couldn't be more wrong though. Talewords is lucky that Modders come up with innovative ideas, and the mod community have had some interesting uses for Taleworld's game and good solutions to some of the issues, but they are definitely not "carrying their game". TW have had much more big picture things to worry about like actually making their game engine run smoothly, and with less crashes. I have literally 800+ hours on this game I've played it modded, beta-mode, multiple different mod-lists and vanilla and the best and most stable, immersive version of the game for me has always been the base version, a lot of the Top 100 mods I've tested and used extensively and they are generally either unreliable due to main game updates & lack of testing or are improperly balanced for the state of a play-through in the long term. Carried LMAO you're ignorant if you think that's the case.

hmmm, what if you paired the machinegun crossbow mod and skill level of 1034? and also, how fast can you travel with only horsemen, no herd penalty, etc with scouting 1023? I would like to see the RRS with that. especially in battania with most of its settlements close by.... campaign idea: battania is fractured and the calradic empire has basically united all the kingdoms other than battania. you, while only having a couple of castles and a few hideouts have to protect battania whilst considered an outlaw. the objective of this campaign is to unite battania. you start with 2 castles, probably the ones on the outskirts of battania the castles only start with 50 T3 units of your choice you start with 300 scouting, and add 50skill every level your main charecter levels up. use the foubrie mod to beable to use the hangout feature for the RRS. you are always at war with everybody. you can ONLY use battanian culture units maybe add calradia expanded?

[@Strat-Guides]

Lol that's an interesting one! I have to save a few of those for a future video because I do have some answers :) Oh man that sounds like a challenge. I think both fiefs would be lost pretty quickly, but as long as the money is coming in from battles, it wouldn't matter much. It's probably doable!

[@masterpep7218]

Talking about getting cramp in my mouse finger: is there any mod where you can see if there's been a companion leveling up and who got focus points? In vanilla, currently you only get a short message in the gameplay screen that fades, but in the middle of gameplay it is quickly overlooked, in addition in the Character menu only the Perk Skill upgrades are indicated (with a number on the top and an orange dot in the dropdown menu itself), but NOT the focus and attribute points, neither the fact which character has just received a focus point. So currently I have to click through all characters' pages in the Character menu to see if there's been a leveling up (often to find out there has been, some time ago), which is annyoying once you have 30+ characters through family expansion.

[@Strat-Guides]

@@Strat-Guides thanks for the reply, your videos have helped me a lot.

[@markj2305]

Wisdom attribute, I wonder what that does. Some seem overpowered, but making things easier with fewer clicks sounds good. I find smithing bad in full release, and if the smithing mod works, I want it. I put an alternate mouse on the side to save the game mouse. I'll try Smithing and RTS, then Tutelage. Must one do the old standard of starting a new campaign? Do these work on 1.8? thanks

[@Strat-Guides]

That row is for the Banner Kings mod :) I'm pretty sure they have versions of these mods that work in 1.8. Most of the good mods are not updated so they work on older versions.

[@jonrussell739]

I've tried these mods and can't get almost any combination of them to work. I'm a bit more experienced with modding in Skyrim, but man I suck at modding in Bannerlord. Any one have any tips?

[@Strat-Guides]

It's a bit hard to diagnose in the comments section because I won't get a notice of your reply (thanks youtube), some one of the most common issues is not running the DLL unblocker. I forget to do this all the time actually lol. Another big one is putting the mods in the correct order. There are 4 support mods (butterlib, uiextender, etc.) that need to go before the base game modules, then all of these other mods need to go after. Did you try to install one mod at a time to see if you can get them to work? If you can't get a single mod working then there might be an issue with your game files and I have literally no clue how to handle that. Hopefully something in here helps!

[@jonrussell739]

​@@Strat-Guides Thank you so so much. I think it was the DLL blocker. I found another video you did and followed that and it seems to be working now. You're the man!

I don't know if you still check this but I use mods from the steam workshop because the mods from tje nexus never work or I don't see them

[@matthieuvilleneuve6643]

Wich version of the game do you use for these mods ive been trying to make it work for anhour and my game keeps crashing everytime right at the start is there a specific order to them on the mods list? Thanks for all the great content btw!!

[@Strat-Guides]

I was using these on 1.0.3. Make sure you ran the DLL unblocker as well before you launch, otherwise it's CTD at the start. These smaller mods shouldn't matter for load order, as long as they come after the base game modules. Also, some of them require the 4 support mods. Check the description of this video for the full list in the exact order that I used: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX-4lIyNj7Jllac&ab_channel=StratGaming

[@Mario543212]

Great video! How do you switch sides with the RTS camera mod in custom battles? F11 doesn't work for me. -_-

[@baran-sama964]

Can you make a updated native faction tier list?

[@Strat-Guides]

I'll add it to my list! If I have time I'll be sure to cover it :)

[@cardosivadi967]

RTS Camera is such a great mod; too bad I haven't been able to get it working since the release version of the game; I don't like giving out orders in the third person; I don't know why I just don't.

[@Strat-Guides]

Hm... I know there are a couple different links to the mod and done are older that don't work but there's an updated version. I put the link in the description, not sure if it's worth a try? I'm the same way, I only use it to speed up the slow posts of combat or walking around town.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

it does work, idk about 1.0.3 but previously did. if on steam workshop, need to sub to correct version

[@philpolish4658]

Are you gonna cover overhaul mods by any chance?

[@Strat-Guides]

Yeah I've got a few on my list to cover! I'm hoping start that this weekend but we'll see.

[@bloodsport326]

I play on ps5, is there such a thing as mods on ps5? Side note, i completed the story by capturing empire enemies and chopping heads. Its a hell of a grind. On some forums i think people still think its glitched but im happy to say, i did it!! Story mode vanilla completed 🥳 players will need a fast cavalry only party for the hunt, speed is key. Thanks for all your tips.

[@Strat-Guides]

They have not added mod support for consoles yet, but I really hope they do soon! I keep telling people to go on the forums and request it - maybe if enough people ask they will make it a priority? Haha nice, nothing wrong with removing heads :)

[@bud5298]

Hi, will it fix the crafted weapons bug when we load again the campaign? Bec crafted weapons still lose their buff in vanilla.

[@Strat-Guides]

I'm not sure if they fixed that one or not

[@walulu6531]

Are there any issues running steam workshop mods with nexus mods? Do you just handle it all in the bannerlord launcher?

[@Strat-Guides]

I've only got Tutelage from the workshop running and everything else is Nexus. I'm not sure for other mods or if you accidentally add the same mod on both if it causes issues, but from what I understand there should be no issues mixing the two. Yeah once you load up the mod page, everything just shows up there and you move them around for load order, but there's no way to tell which mods came from where.

[@poutykeiki2574]

0:43 man what are those skills avobe vigor? Do they do something? To which mod they belong to?

[@Strat-Guides]

They are part of the Banner King mod. Some of them are really good! Like one perk lets you have ALL perks in either steward or medicine (so you get both sides, no more having to pick between the two)

I have not run into any problems myself, but that's a small sample size. I've not heard from anyone else either so I think it's okay.

That's a tough one! There are ways to do it, but not reliably. I'll run a few tests to see if I can come up with something.

[@lucaslove1216]

I can't seem to get character reload and the RTS camera mods to work at the same time. When they are both on and I enter a battle the game crashes. Also since I got the character reload all of the lords pictures are blank saying I haven't met them.

Does character reload work on 1.1.2 or 1.1.3?

[@Strat-Guides]

Yup!

[@vergil8833]

@@Strat-Guides Thx, Just found out that there is a 1.1.0 version. I was looking at the wrong posting of the mod which only goes up to 1.6 I already started rolling back my game to 1.0.2 to play some eagle rising and see if I can get peasants and some other stuff to work together with serve as a soldier. Been having some nasty crashes lately so I think I have to start messing with DLL and stuff. Hot Butter was a bad idea.

[@alperaksoy1062]

Are these mods from steam workshop?

[@Strat-Guides]

The only one on this list that I have from the Workshop is Tutelage. I know there are a few others that are on the workshop but some of them are not. I used Nexus and did manual installs here just because I already knew most of these mods were there and I wanted to make it easier to maintain one big list.

[@ColonelRuiz]

Anyone know a mod that automaticaly picks companion perks off a template? it gets harder and harder to pick the same perks if you have a bunch of companions

Did you run the DLL unblocker yet? Also might be a load order issue - this mod can be placed at the very bottom of the list.

Does someone know if dismounted cavalry gets commander perks for infantry? And are dismounted elite catapracts better infantry than imperial legionaries?

[@Strat-Guides]

It just depends on the perks they have and which formation they lead.
