Mod list for Hell MODE campaign

[Cyrus]

I have finished the campaign up to the conspiracy and restarted making the game as hard as it can be.

Once you understand how the game works. I recommend this set up. To make Bannerlord experience harder then dark souls.

1) Caravan Values extended. Set enemy caravans to random variable between 30-150. Meaning that raiding will never be simple. And loot scales based on difficultly.

Allows you to set your caravan to X (120 is recommended by me)

2) Set all difficulty to realistic

3) Battle extender. Set to 1500. [Benchmark of 60 FPS on 2700X, 16GB ram, RX 5700]. Allows 1500 vs 1500 battles.

4) Revised garrison- allowing all castles to reach a militia of 500 units. As welll as garrison to 850

5) The mod that gives you party modifier size based of leadership and stewardship. You won’t be able to beat the bosses without this mod

6) AI tweaked mod. Makes the AI ruthless, and they do more damage and have +60% health.

7) Custom party sizes- set all modifiers to party to min 2-5X

6) Better Tournament's mod- you need the extra money if you want to survive the 30-200+ bandit groups roaming around (forest, water, dessert, and normal)

7) Modlib, and Launcher fixed. [wont work without them]

8’) XP / Trait modifier. [set to 0.5% to slow down XP gain, or up to make easier]




The above mods, allow you to play the game in true war.

Optional mods

1) More factions mod- adds 21 factions which range from 30-120
2) More diplomacy- to help prevent wars if needed
3) Rulers mod- needed to stand any chance against the group gains
4)just let me play mod- removes the conspiracy (better then the alternative which breaks save)

To make the game even harder

1) Persuasion fixed- set modifier to min [makes it like IRL to convince nobles]. As such you will struggle to get aid

2) Horse mod that allows enemies to stampede you. That alone will make it 500% harder as higher ranks mostly uses Calvary.




... anyway this is the mod list I been using, feel free to try it out, all credit goes to the mod creators. Just sharing

[Cyrus]

Any ideas?

[Bordric]

Ideas on what? Making it?

[Cyrus]

No, just wondering if people have tried to make this game as hard as X-Com. The game seems to easy, even on hardest difficulty

[Cosmic Cat]

There's dessert?

But do any of these mods fix the economy or is the garrison and militia cap just another joke

[Cyrus]

Honestly it partly fixes the economy.

1) when caravans are at 120 they are not attacked by bandits. And they continue to make revenue as prior to update 1.10.

!!! You need to download the mod that does the garrison, so that ALL caravans can actually fill up to the120 limit. This adds realism as you need to walk with your patrol until it fills.

Or- gear up to item rank 45, and make caravan. They will then spawn will 95-105

-It also allows all enemies and AI factions to actually reach the 400 garrison +200-350 militia.

... as such, caravans drop between 20-45K loot. Thus prevents the towns and cities from being emptied.

2) It also makes pve in tournaments worth it, as you get Tier 3-6 gear and between 20-60K. Which you need to maintain the army of 350. [achieved with bannerlord tweeks]

And yes, you do die in 4 hits from tier 2 enemies. Lords and nobles one shot you. Which means !!! Do not get hit ever.

It makes you learn all the formations.

... I have 20 caravans and 45 workshops with an army of 1500. I captured 40% of all fiefs so ar in game
