I suggest you to not lose time with "low-budget" projects whom material is nothing but OSP. Go get in contact with true modders, Juve. I am serious. There is quite a number of them in Caravan, or just let me guide you. You only need to PM. (I may need a writer as well, but well. Don't know your capabilities, I think you should put a few samples of your work as well.)

And what would you consider a "true modder"?

ps: plz dont use a big useless image as signature, it takes space that could be usefull.

Well since my signature is none of your concern. I was talking about professionals, wouldn't you agree?

So then who is a professional modder? anyone who does that for a profession?
Also, what mods have you ever made?

if lord defects from Holland to france and receives a fief, does he make a new regiment?
Also, does this apply to player kingdoms?

If you need testsers, pm me on what you need tested/checked.
I know my way around the command console and google. i'm not going to edit/change anything because I have no clue what you already did and i'd break it by trying to alter it, but I can test it none the less.

check this vid, it might help

Basicly, you need to set the merchantile flag as stated above, and you need to let the merchants know to also sell itp_type_musket
It's explained in the vid.

Any chance of getting multiplayer.

Also, we should find something to discuss on this thread and get to 15 pages, it deserves a sub-board in my opinion.

The main goal is Single player, there are plenty of good MP mods out there that already do the job. Most talk is done on the moddb page to keep things centralized and easy to find.

v1.3.1 update has been released fixing the most prominent bugs.

Hi I've been wanting to make my own kingdom in M&B and I can't wait a whole week to get M&B: Warband. So I'm looking for any kingdom management mods that SOLELY focus on kingdom management (My computer can't run brf files for some reason ) By that I mean mods that impliment kingdom management into the game and nothing else. I like all of the other things how they are and just want kingdom management. I am sorry that I am saying that over and over but I want to make it clear.

Click to expand...

In normal m&b you cannot run your own empire, this is a Warband function.
All mods that improve this management are build on the warband system.

all in due time, all in due time

We are currently slowly bringing Calradia into a new era, I'm working on new companions and dialogue as we speak but we still need a few more people to help with the mod.

Especially if you are good with BTF files involving armour meshes. Throw shorun a PM if you are interested working with us.

How on earth could I have forgotten the credits... sorry to all who is credited for forgetting you, and thanks for fixing this lad.

In the Criminal suggestion;
Start a drug ring? I guess that sounds fun, but I would like to stick to the realistic gameplay. But I guess you can count Tobacco and Alcohol as drugs.
Or maybe some Ganja, but I am not sure in this times if it exist.

Click to expand...

Ganja existed, but not smokes as a joint.
allso its pointless to try and run a smuggling operation on a plantable crop in a farming economy, allso ganja is not illigal in this timeframe, guess real crime was to much of an issue to arrest people over a plant.
Tobacco comes from the amerikas so it would not be known to the medieval world
alcohol is technicly a drug but its completely legal, trading in it should not be considered smuggling (however you could smuggle it to avoid taxes, this counts on everything not just booze).
in addition, alcohol (ale) was used as an alternative for water
water quality was good enough to give you a bad case of running s*** so you had to boil it anyway, here in belgium the brewery "koninck" (litterly translated "king" ) was started more as a water filtering system, and to concinve the people to drink this rather then filthy well water they made beer from it, because people love booze and a drunk is a terrible rebel the authority's did not mind at all, they liked it themself and it keeps the people happy.

ok, at first gratz at keeping your (huge) topic readable and structured, it helps a lot.
allso you did put a lot of tought into this and most of your suggestions make sense.
however..
most of your suggestions are allready in place.

example about the part that intrests me most, being monarch.

1. Renaming the Country.
2. Taking oaths from prospective lords.
3. Managing the Treasury.
4. Changing Tax levels. (Merchant Tax, Food Tax, Land Tax)(Tax Free, Low, Medium, High, Very High)
5. Sitting on the throne and resolving issues in the kingdom.
6. Assigning orders to loyal lords. (Attack, Defend, Patrol, Hunt Bandits, Protect the Roads, etc.)
7. Asking an audience with an In Service Lord to have them go on a mission. (Request them to take a loyal lords normal actions.)
8. Sending Emissaries to other nations. (Ask for peace/declare war/political marriage/hold international feast/request trade agreement)
9. Upgrading your throne room. (AKA: Bigger hall, bigger fire places, larger tables, more guards, a bigger throne, etc.)
10. Asking the adviser about the next best course of action. (Will give random Monarch tutorial-like advice)
11. Holding Tournaments. (International or National)
12. Electing a First Prince/Princess
13. Officially Marrying your Lords to their wives

(yes; if i could i would stop certain marriages, maybe its best that i cant)

just some toughts. good topic none the less and worth checking

I find it rather strange that same lords are so eager to come time after time after time to throw them selves at my blade. Even if I had a good relationship with them. Maybe they should have better memories and next time come atleast better prepared. This could also depend on the lord. Some lords feeling loyalty to their faction forcing them to engage in a suicide battle. Others feeling honour bound by friendsship not to fight. Some becoming more fearful, while others charging persistenty regardless of probable defeat.

Also the way lords defect seems more or less random. Having no real reason. It is so annoying when you build your kingdom doing pretty well and your lords defect, only to slow you down slightly before you retake their estate in a sweep. Maybe lords could understand how successful your conquest are and how successful other sides are. So they would make wiser decisions. Maybe this reaction could also depend on the lord.

i just had to reply..
if you think the lords defect randomly, then you do not know what makes them defect.
1) lords NEVER defect if they have more then 1 relation with their king
2) lords prefer to defect to the enemy of their enemy, if a rhodok leaves graveth he is likely to join the faction fighting graveth
3) lords do not have the big picture, and momentum can have strange effects, the winner could find himself swarmed and unable to propery respond, causing him to eventually lose.

in short, there are reasons why they defect, and why they suicide against you.
they hate you.

-edit-

allso, if your renown is much higher then theirs (like double or something) they do run away when they see you.
and if you are the biggest threath around then your fiefs will be the primary target, especially the lords that hate you target your villages, they cannot beat you in the field so maybe if they take your income they can get you to stop fighting for a while.

in addition, the lords dont die, and irl nobles would hardly ever die (it happens but not often), so they would not consider attacking you "suicide". the footmen might think this but they dont matter much, and being known as a coward is worse then losing a fight.

and even if you cant win the engagement people might still be willing to do so
i for one would not engage a US army group with a few ak's and rpg's yet there are people who seem to have little issues with this, we might know that if they both go all out the US will win but that is not the goal.

If i can keep you chasing me, then you cant defend your village can you? my friends can raid your village while you are to busy chasing off me, go after my friends and i myself will raid your village.
and you must admit, having to run around defending your villages does slow down your conquest of their fiefs, so as a delaying tactic it DOES work.
If you still think it's to easy, turn all difficulty to max and run around with 50 guys rather then 150 and you will soon sing another song
