This adds lots of new companions to native M&B: Warband. Ver. 1.131
Click here to meet the lords & ladies.
Companions v.96 + Diplomacy v3.1
12 Lords & Ladies - each inspired by 1 faction in the game, with stats based on actual in game lords, so they don't unbalance the game. They each come pre-equiped with faction specific unmodified (i.e. no reinforced/cracked) gear. They cost 15000 denars each to hire, but that's because i don't want them being farmed for their equipment. But if your gearing up to run your own kingdom, you should be building your bank account anyways. Also their high level means they are pretty expensive to have in your army, so they really are meant for player kingdoms who NEED capable lords.
They all have unique dialog, based off of real historical/legendary figures from their factions influences. They do have rivalries / people they dislike. The men and women like their same faction influenced opposing gender. The men and women hate their neighbors in a circle of hate as explained in the changelog.
1 Lord & 1 Lady - King grade (probably higher) lord & lady - stronger and more expensive then the others, ideal marshal material. Costs 20000 denars. Their army gets like around 180+ men on it's own, so they're pretty bad ass. When made into fief holders, they receive the title "Marshal" (but aren't actually made the marshal of your army.)
28 Powerful Fighters - Essentially like, troops that don't die in battle, just get knocked out. They are strong, but don't have the skills and attributes necessary to be good lords.
6 Party Skill Master - They won't cost a lot to recruit, but they have high upkeep, because they're level 50, but very low combat stats for their levels. But the game seems to give them much higher stats then i assign them,(i give them 4 strength, when they show up in game they have 12 for some reason) so they can wear decent armor and equip decent weapons, but they wont exactly have the skills and proficiencies to use them very well. Their meant to be put on the bottom of your troop list and kept out of battle, but with larger battle sizes that can be kinda impossible. They also aren't designed to level up really, because they are already well experienced in what they do. Best thing to do is probably assign them to the archer group, or make a group just for them and tell them to wait at the start of battle.
9 Mid-Grade Lords Cheaper then the original lords, not as effective at combat and leading armies, but you could invest time in them to make them better vassals, though it isn't 100% necessary, Cost 6000 denars a piece. Some will have unique titles when made into "lords," so instead of "Lord Soandso" they will be "Something Soandso" .
11 Companions with 'potential':
These companions has stats very similar to player progression, so with the right nurturing, you can turn them into very capable lords or warriors. Some start out farther along then others.
To do:
Give a bunch of the new companions (strong warriors, skill masters, mid-grade lords) unique dialog.
Install instructions:
Extract .rar inside the modules folder.
This is not designed to work with any other mods currently. And it will most likely mess up your game if you try to install it over other mods. I am 99% sure this will not work with a saved game because it added new troops (sorta).
If you want this in other mods, ask their makers to incorporate it. Or somehow acquire the python/modsystem files and you could add them yourself from the source at the bottom of this post. I can't tell you how to merge the text files because i have no idea how the text files work, only the python/modsystem files. me no habla binary.
SOURCE w/ placement instructions. Version: 0.95
To do:
Give companions full unique dialog.
Changelog:
Version 0.961
- added 5 strong warrior archers

- added 7 blank-slate, character creation choice characters, they have the same potential you do.
- added the missing sword sister strong warrior companion.
- added deborah
- added to the introductions that were not unique for the mid-grade lords.
- gave the mid grade lords/knightly order lords unique faces, so they arent quite so cookie cutter.
- added the ability to buy ships at port towns, could be useful for trading from like say shariz to sargoth/rivacheg, might be faster/safer, boats move at a speed of 15. although there isnt much to do with a boat currently, i have some ideas to use those tiny islands along the coast.
- But with mercantile shiping comes pirates, so the seas arent completely safe, they vary in size, but you can also try to be a pirate hunter, as the pirates have various goods that you can take back from them, they are the largest bandit faction, kinda meant for endgame bandit hunting.
- Added two higher tiers to each bandit (forest,mountain,ect.), better equiped and skilled, but you wont encounter lots of them. easier for the player to find better gear off bandits now... sea raiders still strongest bandit faction.
- player troop tree now recruited from villages the player faction owns, currently not optional, gonna try to make it optional. credits topper.
