Tired of defeating AI lords in battle, release or capture (the result is the same), only to fight him with a 50-man party coming out of nowhere again one day later?
This mods removes the "out-of-nowhere" party when AI lords respawn. They now have adjustable number of troops on new game start and upon respawning. The default is 3 to prevent them to fall victim of looters(4). The number can be adjusted in PartyFixes\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\settings.json AI Lords respawn at their fief, and take a part of garrison as their party, so they actually still have a party upon respawning, this is expected and makes sense.
Mix around 40% forest bandits to steppe bandit groups to slow them down. Increase the proportion of unmounted desert bandits in their party to slow them down.
Upgrading a mountain bandit to a banner knight used to cost 2 war horses, one for upgrading from Brigand to Highwayman and one for upgrading from Highwayman to Vlandian Champion. Now the former only costs a horse instead.
Use together with my Light Prosperity to give lords more high level recruits.
