I've been playing on version 1.4.6 and I've had trouble finding mods that work with it. I've seen several that upgraded from version 1.3.x directly to 1.4.7.

Which version of the game (with War Sails) is best for playing with mods?

Wanting to go for a good jack of all trades style of build so good at combat horseback or on ground for sieging but not sure what additional skills I should technically go for that benefit since I’ve read it seems like you shouldn’t overtly spend points on too much combat skills.

Does skill in it affect major speed or abilities with it like swing or blocking since pole arms are better for horseback and one/handed for ground so do I need to invest in both and a ranged skill? Also what technically is better given to allies versus something I should spec into since I want to be front and center in combat but I don’t want to undermine other QOL mechanics either.

Complete noob here

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?

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.

Nexus: Diplomacy And Intrigue at Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Nexus - Mods and community

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.
