What is the best way to add Custom Heroes or Troops?

[InfernusMatrix]

I have messed around modding Kenshi and Bannerlord Warband, nothing major but making custom characters with items and weapons they normally wouldn't have starting out.

What I want to do is create a custom set of heroes for myself. My goal is to use Bannerlord as a sandbox to test out how effective certain medieval weapons were and how using different tactics can change the outcome of a battle.

I also want to make my own troop types, but I suppose to would be easier to just use existing ones with the load-out I require in my tests. It would be amazing if I could also create an army of a size and type of my choosing to fight against.

I found this program:

If there is something better please let me know.

i dont know about heroes but troops are extremely easy to add to the game, all you need is a programm to edit .xml files like for example notepad++

you then just copy an existing troop in the vanilla spnpccharacters.xml and paste it, then change the unit ID and add the new unit ID to the upgrade path of another vanilla unit.

you have your own new unit now.

after that just change the items in your new units equipment sets.

ideally you want to do this in a seperate mod module so that game updates dont overwrite your changes to the troop trees.

alternatively there are mods like my little warband which allows you to create and equip units ingame.

Well nobody here seems to be saying it. so illl tell you. in all the GLORY that is TW they broke My little warband, and So you cant do it anymore via that way. At least not untill they finally decide to DO 1 week of work and release the patch and stop it from being a BETA!

It seems TW is jealous by how great the modding community can make their game. it makes them look bad so i guess they purposely dont want you to be able to play with these mods anymore. why else would they release constant small mb SILENT patches that break all mods and do very little?
