-
-
Version 1.4.3
- Made the mod compatible with 1.5.7
- Made it so that not finding devastation values does not crash the mod anymore
- Fixed a crash when playing with the mod CalradiaExpanded. (lords were trying to spawn at locations that were set to be inaccessible in the new map)
- Several faces of troops adjusted.
- New XML file for BodyProperties has been created.
- Fixed baby troops spawning in 1.5.7
- Made it so that CustomSpawns will suppress a game crash caused by the navigation mesh of the map being passed an invalid face id (often caused by a portion of the map being inaccessible but the game trying to treat it is otherwise). CustomSpawns will instead display a message warning the player about a possible mod conflict or game bug (not necessarily caused by CustomSpawns. This will work for any combination of mods as long as CustomSpawns is active).
-
Version 1.4.2
- Made the mod compatible with 1.5.6 beta
- Imported the Dialogue system and made sure that it works. No dialogues that make use of this system have been added yet though.

- made it so that the prisoner level, the merciful trait, castle garrison size etc. affect the chance for a prisoner to be recruited
- tweaked the way that other parties recruit prisoners in a way similar to garrisons. Garrisons are however only 0.2x likely to recruit a prisoner for balancing purposes.
- added a dynamic spawning system that allows for spawns to be more likely to spawn after a set interval of days
- added the ability to multiply the base spawn rate through the config file
- improved the logging system for debugging or looking at the events that took place during your session.

Introduction
Mod Crashing On Startup? DON'T FORGET TO UNLOCK YOUR DLLs
FIRST TIME HERE? START HERE!
If you want to help with development, come join my discord at: Discord. I would really appreciate some help! You can help with the code, or help me add new troops and troop trees! Just come in and say hi and what you want to help with. You can also help with bug testing or just cheer us on :)
You are also free to make pull requests and view the source code of the project on Github
feel free to check out my youtube channel for tutorials etc. I have tutorials on modding the game using the API and modifying the main mod itself. I also intend to upload more tutorials on the topic.
Currently, the mod adds 70+ new spawns/party types with 200+ new troops all integrated into a troop tree of their own. It also adds 21 new factions each with their own heroes. The different spawns have different schedules of spawning, with some spawning much more rarely and being stronger than lords themselves. They also have different behaviour, and have alliances and wars with specific factions.
The mod also adds new bandits and bandit spawns, though does not remove any bandits from the base game.
I plan on adding much more to the mod and now consider it a long-term project. As such, I'll be continuously updating the mod. Here is a list of some of the things I plan to add:

Spoiler:
History books may be linear and filled with the deeds of heroes and the aristocracy, but the reality of war is far from such orderliness. War means chaos. War means people not knowing what to do and turning to unorthodox means of livelihood. War, especially one that has been dragged out like in Calradia, means tens of thousands of people pushed into utter chaos.
A few bandits here and there simply doesn't reflect that.
The aim of this mod is twofold. First, it adds different hostile and allied troops, factions, and troop trees into the game without modifying any of the game files, all with varying patterns of spawning. Second, it allows for modders to add new troops into the game themselves.
The added chaos also makes economics harder to manage, as caravans can actually get looted and villagers captured. All of this is meant to make the game more immersive, and have you actually experience what it is like to try to make a name for yourself in a war-ravaged land rather than a stable, economically cohesive country. There are others trying to make a name for themselves, make a living, or pursue more unusual ends. Bandits and custom spawns upgrade troops as they loot, for example.
The initial setup of the mod is meant to be balanced, with the lords and armies still being much stronger than the custom spawns as they should be. Some of the rarer spawns (each has >1% chance to spawn daily) are stronger than individual lords but can be crushed by armies.
You are free to change the size of the spawns and how often they spawn in the mod files :). You are also free to use the API to create your own mods! I have tutorials regarding both and plan to make more.

Welcome!
Some considerations:
This mod does not modify or remove anything from vanilla! Hence, it is largely patch compatible.
Custom Spawns is the name of my API used by other mods. The main mod comes with the API, so do not download the API separately if you are using Calradia at War. If you are using other sub mods dependent upon the API, download the API version (Custom Spawns Clean API) along with the sub mod. Alternatively, if you want both the main content and the content of the sub mod, then use Calradia at War along with the sub mod. Do not run both the Clean API and the Calradia at War versions at the same time.
Any mod that modifies factions or adds new ones will not be save-game compatible, which includes this mod. If you run this mod with an old save, your game will crash.
1.0.8 is not save game compatible as it adds new factions. Any updates after 1.0.8 will be save game compatible within themselves as long as we do not add new factions! For now, I plan on implementing and improving upon the 21 factions already added.
This also means that you cannot remove the mod 1.0.8+ from your save if you use any sub-mod that adds factions or the main mod (which adds 21 factions)
IMPORTANT ABOUT NEW SAVES!

Do not run both the Clean API and the Calradia at War versions at the same time.
Any mod that modifies factions or adds new ones will not be save-game compatible, which includes this mod. If you run this mod with an old save, your game will crash.
1.0.8 is not save game compatible as it adds new factions. Any updates after 1.0.8 will be save game compatible within themselves as long as we do not add new factions! For now, I plan on implementing and improving upon the 21 factions already added.
This also means that you cannot remove the mod 1.0.8+ from your save if you use any sub-mod that adds factions or the main mod (which adds 21 factions)
IMPORTANT ABOUT NEW SAVES!
Spoiler:

It seems that the party speed modifiers do not work when you are starting a new campaign. They do work when you save and load the new campaign. You will have to do this just once. Save your game after starting new campaign and load it and this should fix the issue.
If you want to help with development, come join my discord at: Discord. I would really appreciate some help! You can help with the code, or help me add new troops and troop trees! Just come in and say hi and what you want to help with. You can also help with bug testing or just cheer us on :)
You are also free to make pull requests and view the source code of the project on Github
feel free to check out my youtube channel for tutorials etc. I have tutorials on modding the game using the API and modifying the main mod itself. I also intend to upload more tutorials on the topic.
Currently, the mod adds 70+ new spawns/party types with 200+ new troops all integrated into a troop tree of their own. It also adds 21 new factions each with their own heroes. The different spawns have different schedules of spawning, with some spawning much more rarely and being stronger than lords themselves. They also have different behaviour, and have alliances and wars with specific factions.
The mod also adds new bandits and bandit spawns, though does not remove any bandits from the base game.
I plan on adding much more to the mod and now consider it a long-term project. As such, I'll be continuously updating the mod. Here is a list of some of the things I plan to add:
NEW ITEMS TO LOOT
Fixes to Some Known Issues
Spoiler:

- If the troops are appearing like children, this is a mod load order issue. Please try to load my mod last and definitely after the vanilla modules.
- If you are getting handled bug regarding party speed modification and are using another mod that modifies party speeds, either disable the other mod or disable my mods' party speed modification through the config file of my mod.
Regarding Bug Reports. Read Before Posting Bug Reports Please!
Spoiler:
There are two types of bugs:
In both cases, please include:
You can find your save file at C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME HERE]\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Game Saves
If you send me a save file, please also send a copy of all your mods.
Thank you in advance!
I will potentially delete bug reports that do not meet these criteria if they are cluttering the bug reports list. This also goes for duplicates. I am doing this as the time I spend explaining duplicate bug reports etc. is time not spent on actually fixing bugs.

There are two types of bugs:
- An unhandled bug that crashes your game. Please try to include extra information, and your crash reports etc. if available. These are the trickiest bugs to fix so information will be welcome.
- A handled bug that displays a message I set up, saying that you need to report the bug to me with some information included. Please do not forget to include this message, along with the information it has provided. In this case, you can keep playing as your game will not have crashed.
In both cases, please include:
- your mod list.
- steps to reproduce.
- the full message shown because of the crash/bug.
- the version of the mod you were using.
- YOUR SAVE FILE!! This will make it much easier for me to fix the bug. You can send it to me through email at [email protected]
You can find your save file at C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME HERE]\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Game Saves
If you send me a save file, please also send a copy of all your mods.

Customization and Modding
Spoiler:
Check out the youtube tutorials at my youtube channel! Or just head to the files of the mod, especially in ModuleData/Data. It's all mostly self-explanatory. If you have any issues after that, feel free to post here or come to the discord and ask :)
Using my API as a basis for your mod is really easy! Here is a video on how to implement my API. You don't even have to code any C#: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU8dy9Twb_U&feature=youtu.be
If you do want to code some C# and help me develop my mod further, here is the GitHub link: https://github.com/Anopey/CustomSpawns
You would have your users download this API (the clean API version!) and your mod separately, but thanks to this any other mod that implements my API would not have any conflicts with your mod as the API would just be installed once!
If you end up using this API, please set this nexus page as a dependency so that users can download the latest version.

Mod Compatability
Spoiler:

- The mod may conflict with mods that change party speeds. You can disable the party speed modifiers of this mod through the config file in ModuleData and freely use your other mods, though the party speeds of bigger parties that I have added may be too slow.
