Have you ever felt like the Bannerlord developers deliberately made the execution unusable on purpose? Have you found yourself tempted to execute a particularly pesky Lord or Lady whom you've constantly found yourself at odds with on a battlefield but were too afraid of the consequences?

Introducing Off With Their Heads: a gameplay enhancement mod that aims to improve the execution feature by removing the negative Honor penalty for players and rebalancing the amount of reputation lost (or gained) per act of execution.

Current Features:

• Allows Player to perform Executions without major game changing consequences
• Allows (and sometimes encourages) NPCs to Execute one another
• Rebalances how Friends or Enemies are determined as a consequence of relational value changes post execution
  

Off With Their Heads Requires Harmony as a pre-requisite to play! Make sure Harmony is highest in your mod load order, with Off With Their Heads lower than all TaleWorlds packages. I have no idea if this will be compatible with other mods and won't have the time to test out if it is, so please don't ask.
