Improved NPC Attribute Distribution Mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
Overview
Mod Name: Improved NPC Attribute Distribution
Game: Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
Why This Mod?
In the vanilla game of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, NPC attribute distribution can be frustrating for players. The allocation of attributes by NPCs may not seem sensible based on their skill levels, as the existing taxicab metric often leads to decisions that don't align with what players would consider logical attribute priorities.
For instance, when comparing the choice between three skills at 50 and one skill at 120, any reasonable person would invest in the skill at 120. However, due to the taxicab metric's reliance, the game may incorrectly decide to allocate attributes to the three skills at 50, which often favors more combat-related attributes.
This mod introduces an improved metric, enabled by default, to offer a more sensible attribute distribution for NPCs. Additionally, players have the flexibility to swap it for other distribution models, allowing customization of their experience with NPCs.
Features
Bug Fix
NPCs now correctly gain Attributes during their generation on levels divisible by 4, addressing an issue where it occurred on levels divisible by 4 plus 1.
Attribute Point Spending Models
Choose from different attribute point spending models:
NPC Base Attribute Points
Set predefined values for the amount of attributes any NPC has available at level 1:
Wanderers Only Spend Necessary Focus Points
Activate this option to make Wanderers spend only necessary focus points, providing more customization options.
Installation
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any mod, since it modifies only 3 relatively recently added functions.
