Drastic battle mod is the way to go, makes things so much better in terms of damage and of course making armor actually mean something along with many in game sliders to change it as you see fit. Best battle mod for BL so far.

It getting really frustrating because every time I take a castle I have no one to give it to and on top of that I can't form armies or anything to really compete. Would love to know if anyone else is having these issues.

I had similar issues and until it's improved upon you need mods to solve this. Get the mod allegiance overhaul, it's a great addition which should be vanilla and includes lords and mercs requesting to join your kingdom instead of you having to chase them up yourself, you can also get a mod to promote either companions or family members to vassals (lordsfromfamily for example) this will allow you to promote within instead of other kingdom lords.

You have to remember that the original M&B was very lacking also, it took quite a while for Warband and then for it to develop over time it didn't just happen overnight, game development is not easy and if you had the slightest inkling of the amount of work it requires you would understand at least to an extent the current state the game is in.

I think for what it is currently it's no so bad, obviously it's missing content, AI and sieges needs serious work etc but there is still quite a bit of content there. As for full modding tools these will also come with time, no point releasing now as the game is still in EA. With mods my playthroughs have been mostly fun but if your looking for a full complete game then it's quite simple just wait until it's finished.

This mod had that option. Idk if it still works but the source code is there.

Campaign Helper (Works on all game modes)

A bunch of useful features I have put together to fix all the stupid sh!t going on in my game. I also included a bunch of stuff I think TW did wrong or completely forgot to do. Also included are a bun

Thanks man that probably would have worked well also but I sorted it out with a slight mod to the code of the above mod I mentioned. All my vassals now happily wearing armor and weapons made for kings.

Just to add that I managed to solve this for my own kingdoms vassals by using another mod (Give equipment to companion party leaders on nexus) and then modifying that code to include all my kingdoms vassals instead of just companions.

I could probably do this for all the lords in the game but with said mod it would be quite a long list and not sure how well it will work out or even if at all.

I'd call this almost a bug: "Lords dress below their influence and wealth"

Yeah it's definitely an oversight, all we need is the same dialogue option we have with companions "Let me see your equipment"

It won't solve the other AI lords but at least you can equip your own how you see fit, might try my hand at looking at the code for this option and seeing if I can somehow modify it to work with vassals also.

Equipment slots are integrated into the save game files, so it's actually hard to accomplish this.

I had a corrupted bow on a companion: every time I scrolled to her, the game couldn't find the item and it crashed. I found no way around this except to switch to Civilian view, but of course that didn't let me change her bow.

But we can edit the equipment of companions even ones who are not in your party and leading their own, surely there must be a way to edit those of other clans, or maybe we need a full on editor to come out like the ones we had for warband I dunno.

It sucks we cannot do this, my clan and it's members role around wearing 300K armor whilst everyone else looks like they stole some lowly peasants armor from his cold dead corpse after a battle.
