Be aware that the troops you make in this "mod" are not recruitable, you will need to use the developer console (https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/4) to find them and add them to your party
Basic instructions can be found in spnpccharacters_Wolf.xml
Basic instructions on how make troop trees can be found spnpccharacters_wolftree.xml
I used notepad+++ for editing
Everything you'll need to costumize your troops can be found \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\SandBoxCore\ModuleData
- spitems.xml for all the items (weapons,armour etc)
- spnpccharacters.xml for all the existing units in the game
XML CODE - Always check your code.Make sure your xml starts and ends at <NPCCharacters>
- Every unit starts in <NPCCharacter an ends at </NPCCharacter> ( https://imgur.com/qkCeRJ9 )
Adding your own troops and/or troop tree:
- To add an extra custom troop to the roster, find the vanilla troop you wish to upgrade copy it in your xml and add your custom troop as an upgrade. This will add the extra unit to the vanilla tree ( https://imgur.com/a/1dbEI0i )
- You can take the vanilla recruit troop of your chosen kingdom and follow the same steps as before
The difference is that in-game this will override everything in the vanilla troop tree and show only the troops specified as upgrades
This will override the vanilla recruit troops at villages and town,this way you can find recruit and upgrade your own troops
The same goes for the Kingdom lords so be aware! YOU CAN ADD UP TO 2 UPGRADES TO EACH UNIT,MORE THAN THAT WILL BREAK THE GAME!
