Character Development System

  • Fixed a bug that caused the player to lose most of his/her weight after the first day of the game.
  • Fixed various community reported perk problems.

Clan and Party

  • A new feature named "Emissary System" has been added to the game. With this feature, when a companion or family member is left in a town or a castle, the main hero will gain relation with the nobles and notables in that town or castle with a success chance. This chance increases with the "Charm" skill. Additionally, when the companion or the family member gains relation, he/she will also gain some experience according to the importance of the hero whose relation was improved with (importance level: kingdom leader > clan leader > notable).
  • The prisoner recruitment process has been changed completely.
    • Each troop has required "conformity" value to be generated by the party, to be recruited. This value is based on troop tier, so that higher tier troops will be harder to recruit. Owner party will generate conformity per hour for a random troop. Higher Leadership level will generate more conformity.
    • Recruiting bandits carries a culture penalty.
    • NPC lords can now recruit prisoners.
  • Marrying off clan members is now possible.
  • From now on, family members can be used for issues' alternative solutions.
  • Fixed a bug that caused companions to teleport when they were left in a settlement.

  • Fixed a bug that caused heroes to heal immediately.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented children of Calradia from spawning when they became 18 years old.
  • Fixed a bug that didn't allow the player to pick his/her child as their heir and also didn't allow children to have a party after becoming 18 years old.
  • Fixed a bug that made the player’s family members stuck in the player’s settlements as prisoners.
  • Fixed the “party speed not getting updated” bug after leaving an army.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

  • Rebellion feature added.
    • Loyalty and security is affected by many things. A town being recently captured, starvation, mismatch of ruling clans culture and settlements culture, raided villages, governor skill perks, a strong garrison, kingdom policies etc.
    • If Loyalty of a town drops below 25, Town starts to generate more militia. This militia represents armed and angry people of the settlement, thus as loyalty drops further less of them will join the defence in case of a siege.
    • Once the growing militia feels stronger than the garrison, and if loyalty is below 15, rebellion occurs.
    • The new rebellion clan will try to defend themselves while trying to establish their legitimacy. In 30 days time, they will form a legitimate clan and can start initiating diplomacy to join existing kingdoms.
    • Rebellion clans are always on bad terms with their oppressor's.
    • If the settlement owner's culture and settlement's culture are the same, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share that culture.
    • If the settlement owner’s culture and settlement’s culture are different, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share the owner’s culture but will have a good relation with all the factions that share the settlement’s culture.
  • Done a major work on keeping all kingdoms on the campaign map for a longer time. Now kingdoms make more comebacks even though they lost several towns. The map is now also more balanced during the late game and usually, all kingdoms have several towns.
  • There was money inflation in the game, the money of all kingdoms was always increasing. This has been fixed.
  • Players were making a profit when they declared war and made peace afterwards. This has been fixed. Kingdoms now usually want money for making peace with a weak player/player kingdom. Additionally, if the player breaks truce now his clan's aggressiveness increases and it will be a bit harder / more expensive to make new peace. The player now also loses relation with the rival king if he breaks the truce.
  • Ensured all clans have at least one fief and that medium-tier clans have enough income.
  • Ensured that each clan has two more adults than the number of parties for their tier (nP + 2).
  • Players will get relation and renown bonuses after donating enemy prisoners to settlements.
  • Ensured minor faction nobles have weapon skills.
  • Ensured only kingdoms are shown in the kingdom diplomacy screen.
  • Fixed a bug that led to AI clans to propose decisions even if they didn’t have enough influence.

  • Fixed a bug that caused some prisoners to not be released after peace declarations.
  • Familial relations of the clan Fen Caernacht have been fixed.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

Modding

  • Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Modding Kit now has a "Beta" version which can be enabled in the same way you enable "Beta" for our base game. IMPORTANT: The base game version must match with the modding kit version in order to work properly. For example, if you have your base game on the latest Beta, then you must also switch the modding kit to the latest beta. You can enable beta by right-clicking on Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Modding Kit in your Steam library -> Properties -> BETAS -> Select the beta from the dropdown menu.

Character Development System


  • Added weapon knockdown mechanics. "Show of Strength" perk from the two-handed tree and "Hard Knock" perk from the polearm tree should now work properly.
  • Added two-handed arrow deflection mechanics. "Arrow Deflection" perk from the two-handed tree should now let heroes deflect arrows and bolts while blocking with a two-handed sword.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the player to lose most of his/her weight after the first day of the game.
  • Fixed various community reported perk problems.


Clan and Party


  • Added a passive relations bonus when a companion or family member is left in a town or a castle, the main hero will gain relation with the nobles and notables in that town or castle with a success chance. This chance increases with the "Charm" skill. Additionally, when the companion or the family member gains relation, they will also gain some experience according to the importance of the hero whose relation was improved with (importance level: kingdom leader > clan leader > notable).
  • The prisoner recruitment process has been changed completely.
    • Each troop has required "conformity" value to be generated by the party, to be recruited. This value is based on troop tier, so that higher tier troops will be harder to recruit. Owner party will generate conformity per hour for a random troop. Higher Leadership level will generate more conformity.
    • Recruiting bandits carries a culture penalty.
    • NPC lords can now recruit prisoners.
  • Marrying off clan members is now possible.
  • From now on, family members can be used for issues' alternative solutions.

  • Fixed a bug that made the player’s family members stuck in the player’s settlements as prisoners.
  • Fixed the “party speed not getting updated” bug after leaving an army.


Kingdoms and Diplomacy


  • Rebellion feature added.
    • Loyalty and security is affected by many things. A town being recently captured, starvation, mismatch of ruling clans culture and settlements culture, raided villages, governor skill perks, a strong garrison, kingdom policies etc.
    • If Loyalty of a town drops below 25, Town starts to generate more militia. This militia represents armed and angry people of the settlement, thus as loyalty drops further less of them will join the defence in case of a siege.
    • Once the growing militia feels stronger than the garrison, and if loyalty is below 15, rebellion occurs.
    • The new rebellion clan will try to defend themselves while trying to establish their legitimacy. In 30 days time, they will form a legitimate clan and can start initiating diplomacy to join existing kingdoms.
    • Rebellion clans are always on bad terms with their oppressor's.
    • If the settlement owner's culture and settlement's culture are the same, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share that culture.
    • If the settlement owner’s culture and settlement’s culture are different, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share the owner’s culture but will have a good relation with all the factions that share the settlement’s culture.
  • Done a major work on keeping all kingdoms on the campaign map for a longer time. Now kingdoms make more comebacks even though they lost several towns. The map is now also more balanced during the late game and usually, all kingdoms have several towns.
  • There was money inflation in the game, the money of all kingdoms was always increasing. This has been fixed.
  • Players were making a profit when they declared war and made peace afterwards. This has been fixed. Kingdoms now usually want money for making peace with a weak player/player kingdom. Additionally, if the player breaks truce now his clan's aggressiveness increases and it will be a bit harder / more expensive to make new peace. The player now also loses relation with the rival king if he breaks the truce.
  • Ensured all clans have at least one fief and that medium-tier clans have enough income.
  • Ensured that each clan has two more adults than the number of parties for their tier (nP + 2).
  • Players will get relation and renown bonuses after donating enemy prisoners to settlements.
  • Ensured minor faction nobles have weapon skills.
  • Ensured only kingdoms are shown in the kingdom diplomacy screen.
  • Fixed a bug that led to AI clans to propose decisions even if they didn’t have enough influence.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented minor faction heroes and notables from having traits and skills.
  • Fixed a bug that caused some prisoners to not be released after peace declarations.
  • Familial relations of the clan Fen Caernacht have been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug that caused eliminated clans to retain settlement ownership.

    • For more details check this forum post.

Armies

Kingdoms and Diplomacy


  • There were too many war & peace declarations and average war duration was short. The war durations are now a bit longer.
  • Factions which lost territories were usually requiring high tributes to establish peace or were declaring new wars while already being in one. Weakened kingdoms are now not that aggressive.
  • Relations between lords now also affect their target selections. If a player has a good relation with a lord, that lord will be less likely to initiate hostile actions against the player’s settlements (it’s still possible). This mechanic applies to AI heroes as well, not just the player.
  • Having cavalry troops within the party provides a speed bonus. The maximum speed bonus achieved through that has been reduced to 40% from 60%. The effect of this bonus caused the Khuzait faction to snowball due to the Khuzait parties having a higher cavalry to infantry/ranged ratio in comparison to other factions. This change will help reduce that snowballing.

  • Fixed the player crafted items piling up in towns.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented castles from getting the tax bonus from Toll Collector.


Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)


  • Notables were starting with too much power, nearly all had 200+ power (powerful). This has been balanced, 20% are now powerful (200+) while 60% are influential (100-200).
  • The probability of NPC parties raiding the villages has been slightly reduced.
  • The Castellan Office project now gives 10-20-30% wage reduction for garrisoned troops.

  • Fixed the relation gain problem in the “Lord Needs Tutor” quest.


Conversations & Encounters


  • Made some improvements on conversation spawn points when quick talking to people.
    • From now on, if the conversation character has a workshop and is inside his/her workshop, the player and the conversation character will spawn inside of it. If the conversation character is inside a common area, the player and the conversation character will spawn near the common area (This also fixes some weird camera bugs in the “Family Feud” quest). Please note that some scenes still don't have the required spawn points and will be getting them with the upcoming patches.
  • Fixed a dialogue loop problem when talking to a ransom broker in the tavern.
  • The problem of low tier troops showing up in conversations has been resolved.


Other

  • Custom Battle Heroes now share the same stats.
  • Removed an extra body armour from the Khuzait Lancer template.

UI
Changes


  • Added a new casualty report option for non-hero troop kills/deaths.

  • Added a 'Lock Item' button to smelting items in the Smithy along with a warning if the player tries to smelt a locked weapon.
  • Inventory items of the same type are now arranged by their value when sorted by 'Type'. Same value items are sorted alphabetically.
  • Added a 'Continue Campaign' button to the main menu that loads the latest save game.
  • The player party now shows at the top of the scoreboard in battles.
  • Siege event icons on settlement nameplates are now visible during the bombardment phase.
  • Governor assignments in the Clan screen will now take place when the screen is closed to prevent unwanted teleportations of clan members.

Battles and Sieges


  • Added Pillaging: Players and AI can now choose to 'Devastate', 'Pillage' or 'Show Mercy' to settlements that have been successfully sieged.
    • 'Devastate' and 'Pillage' can damage the prosperity and projects of a settlement, as well as, diminish the power of notables in towns. Naturally, the previous settlement owner won’t be too happy about the destruction of their former home. However, the participants of the siege will see their coffers and party morale rise. Still, lords and ladies may or may not approve of the action depending on their traits.
    • 'Show Mercy' allows the winners to take over the settlement without causing too much harm to it or its inhabitants. While this is expected for settlements of one’s own faction culture, showing mercy to foreign settlements will cause unrest among the troops. Just as with the other choices, some nobles will approve or disapprove of the action.
  • Improved the battle formations spawn system. Formations will now spawn within one of the four flanks during open field battles (from front to back order):
    • Center Flank: Skirmishers, Heavy Infantry, Infantry
    • Rear Flank: Ranged Units, Civilian Units
    • Left Flank: Heavy Cavalry, Cavalry,
    • Right Flank: Horse Archers, Light Cavalry.
  • Players can now assign different troop stacks to different formations to change flanks and deployment order.
  • Fixed an issue with siege weapon auto-deployment that caused some ranged siege weapons and special archer positions to be left unused.
  • Fixed a siege issue that caused attacking troops to run into walls until they routed after primary siege engines (towers and ram) were destroyed on all lanes.
  • Formation AI siege behaviour scoring has been revised significantly, allowing all AI formations to attack or pull back when the situation demands it.
  • Fixed a condition that caused incorrect calculation for formation AI behaviour selection.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented AI troops from selecting the correct weapon due to the distance of the enemy through nav mesh.
  • Fixed an issue that mixed up the positions of the crossbow holster and bolt when spawning in scenes.
  • Fixed various deployment spawn errors.


Character Development System


  • Added all of the remaining combat-related engineering perks (10 in total).
  • Fixed various perk problems with Athletics, Riding, Throwing, Polearm and One-Handed skill trees.
  • 'Pick Them of the Walls' and 'Make Them Pay' perks have been implemented.

Clan and Party

Armies


  • Improved a calculation to make AI parties more decisive when engaging enemy parties on the world map.


Kingdoms and Diplomacy


  • When a settlement's diplomatic state is changed (because of a change of owner, or a new war or peace declaration), all hostile parties that are inside will now leave the settlement. All hostile heroes without parties will be taken prisoner. All non-hostile heroes will be released.
  • Mercenaries will now leave a kingdom if they do not get paid for several days because the kingdom is bankrupt.
  • Kingdoms experiencing financial difficulties will now recruit minor factions less.
  • War/peace AI has been improved so that clans make more logical war/peace declarations. The importance of distance between kingdoms has been increased for these decisions. Kingdoms further apart tend to avoid war/peace/tribute deals between each other in most cases.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented failed rebellion clans from being destroyed after 30 days.
  • Fixed a bug that caused rebellion clan leaders to have the 'King' title in their name.
  • Initial position selection for dynamically created kingdoms has been improved.
  • Fixed a bug related to all player kingdom prisoners being bartered with the player automatically which lead to faulty notifications.
  • Fixed a bug that caused a lord to barter all of his gold for the player's daughter.


Economy and Trade


  • Changed the outcome from slaughtering horses from 4 meat and 2 hides to 3 meat.
  • Added plural forms of trade items, e.g. 'Tyal horses' and 'amphorae of oil'.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

  • Fixed incorrect text showing when ransoming enemy lords.
  • Fixed a problem that caused the conversation to become stuck while talking to the ransom broker in a tavern.
  • Fixed camera issues when opening a conversation with a companion through the party screen.

Battles and Sieges

    • 'Devastate' and 'Pillage' can damage the prosperity and projects of a settlement, as well as, diminish the power of notables in towns.

Still, lords and ladies may or may not approve of the action depending on their traits.
    • 'Show Mercy' allows the winners to take over the settlement without causing too much harm to it or its inhabitants.

Just as with the other choices, some nobles will approve or disapprove of the action.

  • Formation AI siege behaviour scoring has been revised significantly, allowing all AI formations to attack or pull back when the situation demands it.
  • Fixed a condition that caused incorrect calculation for formation AI behaviour selection.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented AI troops from selecting the correct weapon due to the distance of the enemy through nav mesh.

  • Mercenaries will now leave a kingdom if they do not get paid for several days because the kingdom is bankrupt.
  • Kingdoms experiencing financial difficulties will now recruit minor factions less.
  • War/peace AI has been improved so that clans make more logical war/peace declarations. The importance of distance between kingdoms has been increased for these decisions. Kingdoms further apart tend to avoid war/peace/tribute deals between each other in most cases.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented failed rebellion clans from being destroyed after 30 days.
  • Fixed a bug that caused rebellion clan leaders to have the 'King' title in their name.
  • Initial position selection for dynamically created kingdoms has been improved.
  • Fixed a bug related to all player kingdom prisoners being bartered with the player automatically which lead to faulty notifications.
  • Fixed a bug that caused a lord to barter all of his gold for the player's daughter.

Economy and Trade

    • In order to break out the prisoner successfully, both you and the prisoner must defeat all the guards within the dungeon without getting knocked out. Higher security & wall level will make the break out harder by having more guards stand in the way of you and your escape.

Changes

    • This feature is currently only enabled with gamepads but will be implemented for keyboard arrow keys and the enter key for the click action in the near future.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect AI formation behaviour.




Character Development System

  • Sandbox mode has been added to the game:
    • Weight and build sliders have been added to both sandbox and campaign mode.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

  • Added Prison Break:
    • Players can break into enemy settlements to rescue clan and family members, vassals, friendly and neutral lords.
    • After approaching a guard with a bribe to let you into the dungeons, the prison break mission will begin. The sum of the bribe depends on the ransom value of the prisoner, security of the settlement and 'Roguery' skill of the player.
    • In order to break out the prisoner successfully, both you and the prisoner must defeat all the guards within the dungeon without getting knocked out. Higher security & wall level will make the break out harder by having more guards stand in the way of you and your escape.
    • Should the prisoner get knocked out in the escape, you’ll have to fight your way out alone to save yourself. Leaving the prisoner behind could result in him dying on the dungeon floor or being locked up behind bars again.

  • The player is now able to limit the wages of all clan parties, including garrisons. If a given limit is reached, these parties/garrisons stop recruiting units.

    • Winning duels earns Bounty points.

Every instance of said object can now be accessed with a new list at its corresponding type or its extensions, for example, use SiegeEngineTypes.All instead of DefaultSiegeEngineTypes.All. SiegeEngineTypes.All will include all of the Siege Engine Types in the object manager. Lists like DefaultSiegeEngineTypes.All were mostly hardcoded.
  • Skill effects are now registered to the object manager which means that SkillEffect.All now includes skill effects added by mods.
  • Modifying which basic volunteers a hero gives out can now be changed through a game model (VolunteerProductionModel). The only way to achieve that previously was by rewriting the RecruitmentCampaignBehavior.
  • Campaign event receivers are now moddable (modders can add their custom campaign event receivers through Campaign.AddCampaignEventReceiver).

Battles and Sieges

  • Campaign Map Interactions

  • Siege Mission Related Improvements & Fixes
    • Implemented a logic that makes agents choose the shorter direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) to circumvent blocker navmeshes.

    • After taking an order, you'll need to create a weapon design that satisfies the stated requirements. Exceeding expectations or underdelivering comes with its own bonuses and penalties, such as an increase or reduction of the gold reward.
    • Relationship gains from Crafting Orders need to be unlocked with perks.
    • The crafting experience and research points needed to unlock new parts gains received from the "Free Build" have been greatly reduced.

Every instance of said object can now be accessed with a new list at its corresponding type or its extensions, for example, use SiegeEngineTypes.All instead of DefaultSiegeEngineTypes.All.

  • Skill effects are now registered to the object manager which means that SkillEffect.All now includes skill effects added by mods.

    • Defender stuns are lowered, by reducing the impact of weapon weight. Reduced the momentum factor that gets calculated from the attackers and defenders weapons physical attributes (weight) so defender stuns are reduced. Effectively, the length of the stuns is affected less by weapon weights.
    • Heavy Attacks deal more defender stun and damage. Heavy attacks now deal around 15% more stun to defenders. They also deal slightly more damage now.
    • Active blocks cause attacker stun based on defender weapon weight. Similar to how the attacking weapon causes more Defender stun.
  • Couch Lance changes:
    • Reduced mount turning speed while the rider is couching.
    • Made a small adjustment to the camera (zooms in slightly).
  • Slightly reduced Archer turning speed while aiming.
  • Reduced the length of infantry knockdown animations.

Modding​


  • Added a warning to catch navmesh problems on steep surfaces.
  • Animation clips can now be filtered in the resource browser.
  • Campaign map size is no longer hardcoded, it is now set from the map scene.
  • Harness' “covers_head” flag now works for helmets as well.
  • Fixed a bug where CampaignGameStarter object was reinitialized. Now, Behaviors and models will be added to CampaignGameStarter at MBSubModuleBase.InitializeGameStarter so that other modules can add/remove other campaign behaviours before they are initialized.
  • Made further changes to access modifiers. You can learn more about this: HERE
  • Added a console command (crafting.reload_pieces {MODULE_NAME} {XML_NAME}) for modders to be able to reload crafting pieces XML of their choosing without needing to restart the game.

When enemies start routing, around half of the units on the winning side start cheering (ally units that are least likely to reach the enemy units) while the rest continue to pursue the enemy. Any order from the player can cancel the cheering behaviour.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented players from using the retreat (or done) button on the scoreboard when they were close to a fleeing enemy troop.
