This mod introduces a variety of tweaks and gameplay changes to make arena and tournament experience more enjoyable and rewarding on all stages of the game.

Source code is available at GitHub!

Current features
  • A new arena training mode with more intense and longer fights, better rewards and optional ability to train your party troops.
  • Multiple adjustable arena practice settings.
  • Ability to choose weapon loadout for arena practice fights (idea and some parts of implementation taken from mewhi's Arena Expansion mod).
  • List of ongoing tournaments accessible from arena menu (idea and some parts of implementation taken from Operation40's Arena Helper mod).
  • Multiple adjustable tournament reward settings, defaults are aimed to keep tournaments rewarding throughout the game, while staying balanced.
  • Ensures that everyone receive all the tournament rewards, regardless if it's player or not. In vanilla, AI was not getting any renown or influence rewards.
  • Adjustable XP gain modifier for arena and tournaments.
  • New team-based Tournaments mode (idea and implementation by eg3r - thank you for the contribution!).

Compatibility
This mod is compatible with existing save games and can be removed from saves safely.

Mod compatibility
In general, AO is written with maximum compatibility in mind and should work fine most of the mods. Obviously, mods that are overhauling tournaments or arena practice fights can have conflicts due to the close nature of changes.

Installation
Use Vortex mod manager or simply copy the 'ArenaOverhaul' folder into your '..\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\' folder! As for mod activation, I suggest that you use custom Mod Launcher and place my mod somewhere below the official TaleWorlds Modules. This mod requires MCM v5 mod to work, so be sure to install it beforehand.

Your mod order should look like this:
1. Harmony
2. Butterlib
3. UIExtenderEx
4. Mod Configuration Menu v5
...
Oficial TW Modules
...
Arena Overhaul <--- should be placed somewhere mid to low among in the list
...

Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing any problems:
  • Try different mod order, I suggest following this guide
  • Check mod .dll files, they might be automatically blocked by Windows
  • Using launcher with enhanced mod support, like BUTRLoader or Bannerlord Mod Launcher, may help with both these tasks

If nothing above helps, please, create bug report, providing me information about:
  • Mod version and game version
  • What you did or what happened before the crash
  • Information from game's exception window, if there were any (you can press <ctrl> + <C> in it to copy results to your clipboard)
  • Mod log file, if any. It can be found under '..\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\ArenaOverhaul\'. It is only created if there were errors in mod functionality.
  • Your mod list and order

Safety note
Please, consider that the game is currently in development and not yet fully released. All kinds of bad things are possible, so, please, backup your saves!
