Because people have complained about Death Knights and I don't particularly like them myself I decided to make this guide how to easily remove them. This tweak doesn't actually make them vanish, just makes them like normal bandits.
First, open party_templates file in your Blood and Steel folder
(C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\mountblade warband\Modules\Blood_and_Steel)
Then find following code from it
As you probably guess, bold line is the one we want to edit
Red numbers mean troop types. For example 221 eguals Death Knight. What we want to do is to change them to something bit easier to beat. I changed them to 200, 201 and 192. These are three different types of forest bandits. Now the line should look like this
Green numbers are lower and upper limit of how many troops can be in individual party. Currently game takes random number between 20 and 1200 and gives that many soldiers to spawning party. I let 20s be and only changed every 1200 to 200 and the result is that instead of hordes of invincible Death Knight Armies there will now be lots of forest bandits around.
Save file and enjoy.
WARNING: You will need a new savegame to get this work. You can keep your current character with export/import though.
Of course you can edit this as you like the best. If you want smaller parties just lower the limits and so on. You can also test different types of bandits. Numbers 188-205 should all be bandits, roughly from half naked Looter to most badass Sea Raider
