What does import/export character do?

[The Burger King]

Shouldn't it allow me to use my character in another save but have him in a fresh start cause everything is going to ♥♥♥♥? if so, then how does that work?

I believe it allows you to export a character to a NEW game but not a SAVED game. So, you don't have to spend all that time leveling up again but you still have to start over.

Exporting will make a text file you can find and edit to change stats, weapon skill, currency etc. Saving the changes then importing the character will bring all the changes you set into the game, basically allowing you to cheat.

The other way to use it is to export your character (making changes if you want) then starting a new game and naming your new character the same as the one you want to carry over. Then importing your old character to your new one. Doing this will not bring items, relations or appearances to your new character but all weapon skills, stats and currency will be transferred.

Name the same got it.

[ZirzoR]

It exports all the stats on that character with the SAME NAME, if you name your new character something else then its not going to work.

Your new character has to have the exact same name as the exported character.

So for example my character's name is ZirzoR i'm level 30, okay stats, i press export, it makes a TXT file with all the stats.

I make a new game, new character, name him ZirzoR.
Then i press import once i'm ingame, boom, i got the same character, but on a new save.

Hopefully this clears it up for you.
But i recommend to not do this, as it just makes the game really easy and might make you stop playing the game (Like most people when they cheat)

My brother did this on diablo 2, and man he stopped playing once he went back to normal, he found normal gameplay to be really crap, and then he stopped playing it.

So if you want to keep playing this wonderful game, stay away from stat changing and import/export, it just make the game so easy and dull.

If you wish to start fresh, THEN START FRESH.

Have a nice day :D

Export copies all of your stats into a text file. Import checks to see if there is a text file with the same name as your character and if so then it makes your stats and cash the same as the text file. Supposing you had a character called Bob and another character called John. You want to copy the Bob data over to John. Load up Bob and click export character. Now load up John, rename him to Bob, import character, then rename him back to John to achieve this

It is also possible to edit your stats and money this way. Export the character then go into document, Mount and Blade, characters. Open up the file named after your character and put in whatever stats you want.

Some mods like Clash of Kings feature permanent stat gain or more often loss. You can reverse these changes by exporting your character and modifying their file before importing again.

You can potentially give yourself 255 in all stats with 10 in all skills and 600 weapon proficiencies, however this will really make the game too easy and I don't recommend it. One thing I sometimes do though is give myself 10 prisoner management because I don't think you should have to specialise in an entire skill just to take people prisoners, it seems very silly and if random bandits can do it then anyone should be able to

I can't find my txt file for any of my charctors in M&B: Warband. Like, it's not even there. I wanted to see the file to edit it, but after seraching all over my files, its not there. And I have exported them beforehand.

[Voyevoda]

With supporting mods it lets me and my companions all have max stats and 900 hp so we are a group of 10 vs armies of 500+ and we can solo them, no probs. Fun times. I'd love it if this was kept for bannerlord.

A simple question: can the achievements be unlocked using the import/export statistics function to reinforce the character? Thanks for the answer :)
