SP - General [Suggestion] Mods that should be in the game by default

[Kreu2009]

The nice think with mods is that they are optional. So i think most mods you listed should stay mods.
I would really dislike quite a lot of the mods you listed.
You could say there could be options to enable or disable them. But then why not just let them be mods?
Imagine you create a campaign as new player and get greeted with 30 options. Would be quite overwhelming

Mods that i for example dislike:
- Yell to inspire.
- Battle bandage.
- Can't run forever (Why should only a party that runs away get slower over time?)
- Custom spawns.
- Shields block on back (Some shields have such big hitboxes they could even block frontal attacks while being on your back)
- Better horse charges (Cav is already extremly powerfull. Horse charges doing more damage without adding another mechanic that nerfs heavy cav at the same time is a bad idear in my opinion.)

Other people mightl like or dislike other. I think a good mod workshop would be bether then just adding all of them to the base game.

Yes, there are a lot of useful modes. Adding these to the game would make our life easier.

Settlement icons
One of those i never thought i would need. Makes life so much easier if you want to do questing or looking for the village with noble troops. Also streamlines your tournament searches. Small mod but so efficient

Bear my banner
Great immersion mod. Battles look great when you see different faction banners held by the troops of different factions. Amazing look on army vs army fights!

Community patch
So many perks got fixed with this one. Insane! Even those tricky ones like +party size per Fief owned or Use all bows/crossbows on horse.
Working perks change the game DRASTICALLY

Armor does something
I think the best of the "buff arm / survivability / nerfatchers" mods available.
Archer army is still deadly, but does not roflstomp everything. You still feel very powerful with 100% archer./ horse archer army, its just no longer disgustingly powerful. Less random deaths to instagib pilums to the head (still possible just not that often)

Hideout send troops
A bit controversial one, but helps you with late game bandit camps that have 80+ garrisons. And we all know current autoresolve - you will be punished a bit for the comfort, still a good option to have.

Persistent lock
This removes requirements to re-lock everytime an item/item category when it runs out or when you swap inventory items. Must have!
https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/445

Summarize cashflow
Makes your income readable again after you get 3 fiefs 2 parties 2 workshops and a caravan.
No longer floods your screen with single entity data unless when you want it

Makes declaring war and proposing peace possible from Diplomacy screen. How/why is this not in the game by default I have no idea. Also adds war attrition so AI is more likely to propose peace after prolonged wars. There's also minimum truce time. Very useful mod.

Attempts to fix prosperity-death spiral and gives some sense to fief management.

Just gives you a heads up when something important happens by a pop up window. Another mod that can't believe not in the game by default.

So last few days i was surfing nexus modes to make my game more comfortable (and oh boy i found some amazing mods). (just wanted to list and suggest some of them bellow). (this list does not include the mode Bannerlord Tweaks)
Also i am suggesting that many of the options that mods provide should be able to be turned on/off in campaign advanced settings.

• Fast Dialogue mode. (Removes loading screens from interactions with essentially all map interactions. Including lords, bandits, villagers, caravans,etc)
• Auto blocker mode.
• Party AI Overhaul (Adds giving advanced orders to your Clan parties on the campaign map)
• Sort units in party.
• Party Screen Enchancements (also Adds Upgrade All and Sort buttons to the party interface ).
• Yell to Inspire (Adds a new cooldown-based yelling ability, which increases nearby allies' morale, cause fleeing allies to return to battle, and can negatively impact nearby enemy morale!)
• Fighting Together Relationship (Gain or lose relationship with allies you are fighting together)
• Dead Clans Deactivate (This mod changes the clan banners shown in the faction view so that destroyed clans are grey like dead heroes.)
• Battle Bandage (Basicaly an improvement for medicine perks)
• Can't run forever (Parties slow down on the map after running away from you (or someone else) for some time.)
• Dismemberment (Could be polished to cut hands/legs and so on , again with an option to be turned on/off for more gore options)
• Growing beard overtime.
• Expanded bandit tree
• Workshop stash
• Equip best items (UI Widget for equip best item from inventory.)
• Tournament Money (Add bonus money for winning the tournament.)
• Rulership (Lets you turn your companions into noble vassals of your kingdom, giving them their own clan and fiefs.)
• Buy patrols (Hate bandits stealing all your villages' butter? Hire patrols from villages to help protect them!)
• Immersive Crafted Item Name Generator
• Custom Campaign Options ( New campaign options window with one that has a lot more fine-grained control, lower and higher than base values, and additional options.
• Ask Lord's location
• Alternative Renown Gains
• Bandit Lords
• Better time (This is a basic mod that adds an extra button to the time control panel.)
• Entrepreneur (odification for adquiring and managing property in settlements. Become a dark age investor!)
• Invisible helmet (but my suggestion is to be able to turn on/off helm visibility in ui)
• Shoulder cam (as an option to pick in menu, with a bit of polish a very good addition)
• Forever-Young (OBSOLETE) (Prevent character from aging if you manually set them to be a teenager, child or infant, mode could be polished more for more settings)
• Kill Bandits Raise Relations
• Custom Spawns (add different neutral spawns to early/mid/late game (starting from samll parties to revolt armies/big armies/and other interesting neutral parties)
• Shields Block on Back (Shields worn on the back block ranged and melee attacks.)
• Detailed Character Creation
• Respec Companions (Adds various console commands that can respec or reset companions, family members or the player character.)
• Better Quicksave (Adds a quickload button as well as a configurable amount of rotating, dedicated quicksave slots for all your save scumming needs.)
• Better Horse Charges (increase cavalries charge damage according to harness and total weight)
• Realistic Weapon Collision

Everyone who agree, +1 this post please, so devs can see this.
If there are any modes that i didn't add, suggest them bellow (Theme will be updated overtime, with new modes to come)

Mods that should be in the game by default

hahahahaha, how is it? We start the game at 30 and even after 100 years, are we also 30 years old?

I'm not sure the list is exhaustive and whether there aren't things on there that shouldn't be integrated in the base game, but I definitely agree with the sentiment.

Essentially there should just be a procedure to monitor which mods are the most popular and if they only add features, they should probably be integrated. Things that change the original intent probably only in a form where they can be disabled and only if they are massively popular.

Nexusmods seems to be a sensible channel to use as an indicator of what ought to go in. Stuff that's in the top 50 or should add least be evaluated for addition to the base game.

Shields Block on Back (Shields worn on the back block ranged and melee attacks ASAP Please, it's such an obvious thing to have, it just makes sense.

 

[Sparticulous]

Seperatism helps stops snowballing. It can also sometimes creat small factions for fight for. Or conquer.

Realistic battle armor will fix how useless armor is now. And make it matter

Assess Trade Prices

Allows for the player to see what local cities have the best deals for trade goods. This is something that was in Vanilla viking conquest and would greatly benefit player sanity to have it back

 

[TheShermanator]

Settlement Icons, Community Patch (for working perks), Diplomacy Fixes if only for messengers, Limited Mercenary Contract.

+1 overall, even if any player’s list =/= the OP list 1:1.

The larger point: the player currently has to rely on mods for basic QOL features and basic game functions. Mods should be for fun fluff and preference (e.g. I really like a recruit minor faction troops mod) - not for basic stuff.

 

[TheShermanator]

Oh yeah, and Improved Garrisons (assuming responsible configuration).
