Thanks TW for the mods!

[Rustius Rancidus]

Vanilla might be still in progress. But modders did already an awesome job! Even some complete overhaul mods are out there:

Realm of Thrones

Total conversion mod for Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord, which will change Calradia into Westeros and Essos from the HBO series, Game of Thrones. Hundreds of characters added, along with over twenty k

And it even can be combined with other mods, sometimes. Warband didn´t had this option.

I´m really thankful that TW had a huge focus on mods. Bannerlord will be awesome because of the base and mods!

If you install Fourberie IRL you can definitely gain enough coins to buy a super duper computer

Why are you thanking TW for the modders' work? Do you mean you're thankful they made it easier to mod?

Taleworlds made the game they should get credit right? Maybe he meant easier to mod lol?

I think he might have meant the thanks to TW for making it easier to mod, yea, but I could be wrong. lol

In a way it is because of TW we even can get mods. Not that they should get credit for any mode made but for the fact that we have mods.

It's also because of them that we need mods so bad lol

Then perhaps, "Thank you TW for allowing us to make mods" rather than "Thank you TW for the mods". The later makes it seem like they are directly responsible for the creation of the mods, rather than the environment that allowed them.

Thank you for allowing unpaid labor to enhance your product.

Technically BL is not that well modable. You can edit map and textures and do some other "visual" stuff with the modding tools. But everything else is either xml editing or "hacking" in case of most of code based mods and you actually need to use third party library, third party software and you need to know how to code in C#. So it is not mod friendly in leyman terms, it is kinda mod friendly if you are actual coder.

Also patches from TW are constantly breaking most of the complex mods, so instead of developing features you end up fixing your mod most of the time once it grows to certain level of complexity. Just wait until they add complex features to some of the overhauls and they will get broken 5 times in 2 months.

OP obviously knows little to nothing about modding

TW decisions seem to be made by coders who don’t understand non-coders. Case in point:

Or to put it positively, TW wants modders to professionalize and produce quality mods, not "my first mod lol plz upvote".
Or to put it negatively, TW is gatekeeping newbies who would now never learn to mod and may turn to a life of crime instead.

or you have the same elitist coding blind spot.
Are the hard coded C++ engine optimisations for the campaign map also merely gatekeeping? Modders can’t move flora layers from terrain.bin to flora.bin as Calradia does, for example. Every modded campaign map has to use or incorporate Aurelian’s MapFix mod and ask players to enter and exit a mission scene to spawn flora on the campaign map. Publishing a scene editor and then customising your campaign map so it’s different from any other scene and no longer fully under that editor’s control is a problem. TW underestimated how much they needed to lighten their code’s load to run their campaign map on potato pcs.
