[Bannerpage] Utter Frustration

[Dustin Dalby]

Hi all!

I've been playing Bannepage lately, and having some fun with it. I was particularly interested in the big gladiatorial arena feature "Ludus Calradius", going back to it regularly when times were hard to get a few denars and progress there so I could finally become a full blown gladiator.

The hoops were kind of ridiculous but I got through a number of them : won three fights in a row three times in a row against increasingly difficult opponents, raised my stats to get through the exam, and earned my 55% winrate in the Proving Grounds without any savescumming because I wanted to do it legit.

And then when the option to fight in the Glariator's Arena finally shows up, I'm told ladies can't compete in there.

There's a lady gladiator NPC litterally one door away from there, in Ludus Calradius's tavern.

It's not pretty, but rarely have I ragequit a game so swiftly. Why was I not told this until I invested hours of playtime into reaching this point? What the actual ♥♥♥♥? Why don't I get to enjoy my Princess Xena shenanigans when there's a litteral Princess Xena ersatz working that exact same location?

So now I've slept on it and I want to try fixing it before I give up on it. Turning Prejudice off in the Bannerpage settings doesn't seem to do it (which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ btw) I turn to the steam forums :

- Has anyone found a way to get around this restriction? Is it a case of just going for a higher winrate to beat the prejudice or is it a solid No Girls Allowed?

- If it's a solid No Girls Allowed, would any one be so kind as to point me towards the way to change that directly? I've never done any modding but I'll learn if it gets me around this restriction.

-In case it's not fixable, are there any alternative mods out there with a similar bend on overhauling native and a good side of sweaty people beating each other to death in arenas, where I can be a leather clad muscle lady and have a hope of getting into the cool fights?

Apologies for the rant, and thanks in advance for any help!

Have you tried to contact the mod creator on ModDB and ask him about the problem? The last update for Bannerpage was pretty recent, so it's definitely not a dead mod. If somebody has an idea which line of code you have to change in the script, then it's probably him. Be polite, be precise, and chances are pretty high you get an answer.

Other than that, here's an introductory video to Python. Have fun and keep modding!

Bannerpage has some balancing issues, too, I think. Otherwise it's a great mod.

I haven't played this mod but most mods settings are accessed through your camp.

BannerPage is not open source so editing the Python file is just not possible.

I relate to OP's frustration. The mod generally has a huge room to improve in regards to UX/usability.

Like the Salt Mine problem. Nobody tells you that there's a limit of 50 prisoners to be put there, and when you hit 50, suddenly the mod just says, "boom, you hit the limit, too bad, you can't do anything anymore with those prisoners you've stocked there." Literally can't even pull them out from the mine. Horrible experience.
