Populate the world with Bandit Militia parties. When bandits get close and meet certain conditions they band together with a hero to lead them in battle, don't expect disorganized mobs. Large Bandit Militias may also split apart, become two smaller but more dangerous parties. Each transition triggers training, and their troops improve.
--- The mod is very configurable and these settings are exposed thanks to MCM mod. I've tried to make the setting descriptions helpful. You can also adjust the settings in game without reloading. There are 2 presets, Default and Hard.
What to expect:
bandit parties will seek other nearby bandits and form Bandit Militias
Bandit Militias will spawn in the world
each BM party has an Avoidance score for each lord
Avoidance is gained by lords destroying BM and lost by BM defeating lords
BM exchange Avoidance knowledge with nearby BM
This mod does add data to your save game. I've included an easy uninstall method. You can uninstall by using the hotkey Ctrl-Alt-N to clear all the mod data, then save, exit, and disable the mod.
Please back up your save game or make a new checkpoint save. You're responsible for your game integrity. Possible compatibility issues: - Bandit Nations (tons of parties) Nov 2022
