Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord - Game Mod - Carrier - Banners and Torches v.1.6.0 - Download

Carrier - Banners and Torches is a mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, creatd by Bloc. If you enjoy this mod please consider supporting it’s creator through Patreon.

Description (in author’s own words):

Yet another Banner mod for Bannerlord. It adds banner and torch carriers not by converting your troops into one but by adding separate soldiers. It's also adding some functionality to banners rather than just leaving them as cosmetic - such as morale impact. Also adding responsive soldier-order relay system.

Why?

I suggested having a separate soldier for banner carriers to dhkh1223 for Raise your Banner mod because it's causing balance issues when your high tier soldiers drop their shield for carrying the banner. He faced some exceptions while trying to implement the idea so I wanted to give it a go and see the issue. For that purpose, I created this in around one day or so ( meaning that don't expect something tested thoroughly ) Since it was working fine ( at least for my taste ) I said *why not release it as a mod* and here we are. Perhaps this can help future mods and future banner mods. I'm also releasing the source-code, you can use it anywhere you like. If you credit the source it would be appreciated but it's not a requirement.

I tried this only with version 1.6.3, my PC didn't blow up, so it should be fine to use. Still, it can crash in specific rare cases and/or because of other mod conflicts. It's not designated to be a sustainable mod but rather I just wanted to share it for non-tech players who want to check it out.

Features

It's adding bannermen to the game. Although, unlike most of the banner mods, I wanted to give some functionality to their existence as well. Features goes as follow:

Banner Carriers are automatically created in battlefield if you turn off UseRealTroopSystem. This means, if it's turned off, you DON'T have to hire banner carriers ( well you can't hire them anyway ). But if you turn it on, you need to buy Banner carriers from Castles. This is same for AI too ( they automatically but them based on their formation count ) Whether you UseRealTroopSystem or not, when battle starts, your bannermen will be automatically assigned to formations ( and yes cavalry ones will get horse, they won't be on foot )

Every banner carrier has a certain radius which effects the morale of the troops around. This check happens in every 5 seconds, and it's limited to a certain morale limit. ( Example, in every 5 seconds, it checks troops around the radius and boosts morale by +10 if troop morale is below 40 ) And all these can be changed via Config.json

When banner carrier dies, soldiers within the same radius explained above will get a morale decrease and if it's too low, they will eventually start to route.

When any of the banner carrier reaches the walls, you will get a message and this will immediately boost the morale of entire army to 100 once. This is one-time thing and won't happen again if the second carrier reaches to walls again.

Equipment/look of banner carries are depending on the leader party's Tier and culture. Meaning that, more prestigious lords will more heavy and noble-like banner carriers compared to other clans.

Banner carriers can also carry torches - which comes in handy when you fight in night battles.

Your soldiers can react and relay your orders within the formation. For this you should enable UseResponsiveUnits. It's not dependent to banners and can be used without it as well.

Nearly all of the things mentioned above can be configured and fine-tuned by you via Config.json

Adds two types of banner. One is a regular banner other one is a gonfalon banner

All these features are tested only by default values and a combination of certain values might cause problems - in such cases, let me know.
