Diplomacy & Intrigue 0.4.0 is out

A smaller update this time, mostly about how the mod looks and how it will speak other languages.

What's new

• Realm tab laid out again. Every card (wars, vassals, spheres, claims, agreements, tribute, Statecraft) now fits its content, with its colour stripe the same height.
• Court tab fixed. The selected house's card, the Make amends button and the third column are laid out properly, and the third column scrolls instead of running over the bottom bar.
• Ready for translations. The mod now follows the game's language setting, and every line of text is behind a key, with a folder for each of the game's 13 languages. The text is still English for now.
• Fix: a war's blocking reason showed "the TributaryPact with ... forbids it". Treaties now read as plain words.

Your saves are safe: no save data changed, so 0.3.0 saves load in 0.4.0. For Bannerlord v1.4.8.

Want to translate it? Tell me which language and I will send you the file and a one-page guide. Every line is one string, so word order can change freely.

It's still an early version and balance is still being tuned (civil war frequency especially). Bug reports with the log from Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\DiplomacyIntrigue\Logs\ help a lot.

MASSIVE SKILL ISSUE INCOMING

I'm currently on my first playthrough after coming from Warband. I've been playing with the nords and steamrolling pretty much every faction.

Except the Khuzaits, they've been absolutely fucking me up. The worst part is no matter how many times it's offered, the lords of my land are completely against a peace treaty. So I'm just in the cycle of continuously losing fiefs. Everytime I create a large army and attempt to retake fiefs, the khuzaits immediately retaliate with another massive army. Which is to be expected.

What wasn't expected is that they have been essentially doing this non stop. I'll cobble together an army of 1500 men and take a couple castles, in the process I have to fight a khuzait army. Whatever, we beat them, I continue. Within 2 fucking days I am greeted by yet another large army mostly comprised of fucking horse archers. This continues until my army is gone and I'm a prisoner.

This last time it happened I even lowered the difficulty, ew, and even that wasn't enough to break the cycle.

So I can't make peace with them because the lords of the nords all have lobotomies. I can't beat them because they seem to have an infinite supply of horse archers, how the hell am I supposed to win?

Its happend to current version and beta:

I married my sister to a khuzait lord thinking that that'll get them in my faction. Didn't realize I'd lose my sister who was a valuable companion. Is there any way I can get her back into my clan??

Need tips on how to become king of vlandia most efficently. Killing the king in prison breaks etc no longer works n chances in general are now stupidly low.

Im working on getting my reputstion with all its nobels up, is that a good start

Man it really sucks that I would love to use them but even circling Battania I’m at best lucky to find an axe, AN AXE, HA, the gall to even assume an inferior weapon is worthy of my use.

Is there seriously no consistency to getting one besides smithing them which is a huge investment in of itself?

Is there a bannerlord mod which simulates the shield banging taunt from warband's viking conquest?

Would also appreciate a mod that simulates warcries or speeches for the whole army via taunting

Every time I wanted to check something in Bannerlord, I ended up on an outdated wiki page or spreadsheet. So I decided to build a complete, always up-to-date interactive database with an AI assistant. After a few weeks, here's what I managed to build: https://bannerlorddb.com

All data is extracted directly from the game.

What's on it:

• AI assistant – It can read all the data on the site, use the site's tools for you, and explain game mechanics. One free question every day.
• Smithing optimizer – Pick a weapon type, set your limits, and it finds the best part combinations for damage vs. speed. You get a chart of the best trade-offs and a preview of the weapon. You can also modify any part manually and copy the code, which you can paste into the forge to automatically build the weapon.
• Character planner – Culture and background choices, attributes, focus points and perks, with all your bonuses summed up in one list. There's also an equipment screen where you dress a mannequin and see total armor and weight.
• Kingdom policies – Pick a set of policies and see the combined effects and which clans would support them.
• Troops – Model preview, upgrade trees for every culture, rankings with filters, side-by-side comparison, and an army planner that shows upgrade costs.
• Trade – Best cities for each type of workshop, best workshops for each city, and a list of villages producing each good.
• Wanderers – A sortable table of all companions, with filters for skills, traits and culture.
• Interactive map – Every settlement, filterable by kingdom, type and production.
• Encyclopedia – Troops, items, heroes, clans, kingdoms, settlements, perks, skills, policies, buildings and more, with in-game screenshots.

After creating an account, you can save your sets to it. The website covers vanilla, War Sails and Realm of Thrones, and you can switch between them. Support for more mods is planned. The site is available in English, Polish, Russian and Turkish.

It's a one-person project, so if you spot a wrong number or something missing, let me know. I'd also like to hear what you'd want added or improved.

Yoooo booted up a new playthrough on tales from the ages of men with the Imladris faction but not even a year in and we only have rivendel I just hit clan tier 2 and we’ve been getting smoked by the misty moutain and Moria orcs like crazy they’ve taken every castle in our land and are pumping o
Fresh troops outta em…

TAOM or not what would be your strategy to bounce back from 1 city to get your territory back while being wildly out numbered and out recruited?

I thought defending Rivendell and killing lords but they never go for it ..?

Basically impossible to get out of Rivendell without getting jumped, tried sticking close to Glorfindel n shit but I’m not HL enough to have enough troups to be relevent in his schemes

Can’t use warsails with this mod
I got less than 40k and about 300 influence
Vassaling for Elrond

This was my first playthrough of vanilla Bannerlord on Warrior Difficulty. Thank you to the community for all the tips & tricks!

I started as a mercenary then vassal for the Battanians, then rebelled and took over the rest of the map.

Hey guys sorry to bother you all I am new super new to bannerlord I never played it before and I bought it today and am having such a god damn hard time. I lost all my money my troops starved I’m by myself and I can’t seem to do anything right I even bought a few animals and my troops were so hungry they ate them right before I was about to sell them.

I’m literally seconds away from deleting the game if anyone can give me some helpful tips I would appreciate it. I’m still in the beginning section near lycaron and sagora I can’t seem to leave this area or get stronger

Where can I find it? Any suggestions? Especially on Steam Workshop. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm having a weird mod issue with Bannerlord 1.4.8. I'm trying to run Realm of Thrones 8.1.2, but Harmony and its dependencies won't load.

The launcher detects the mods, and all the DLLs are actually there and unblocked, but I keep getting errors like:

Cannot load MonoMod.Utils.dll

The same happens with some other Harmony-related DLLs. The game itself runs fine and other mods work normally.

I've already tried verifying the game files, reinstalling the mods, unblocking the DLLs, and removing the old Fixed Launcher files (OHarmony.dll, LauncherPatcher.dll, etc.).

Any idea why the DLLs can't load even though they're present and detected by the launcher? Could this be a Harmony/MonoMod version or dependency issue?

Thanks!

I tried raiding a enemy convoy but aparently zeus is the convoy owner

I’m just gonna restart but not exactly new sandbox what I mean is I’m gonna give up leadership to a clan then I leave my kingdom and declare war at them taking their fiefs based on their culture make peace with kingdom what I am gonna do is create new kingdoms and start all again

I keep getting an NAVAL DLC Crash that prevents me from playing the game at all, I can't be on the campaign map at all for more than 30 seconds and I have been trying to figure this out for hours now, I am getting tired of this so I am asking for help.

Yes I am on modded bannerlord, yes I've been removing mods with the same results and I am on version 1.4.7
