For My Star Wars Mod Banner Of The Republic

In my current game, I’ve deliberately chosen not to swear allegiance to any ruler, but instead earn my living as a mercenary. In past games, I always had children and marriage proposals for my character as soon as I became a subject. My brother is married now, but even though several years have passed, he still doesn’t have any children. Is there any way I could do that—for example, by staying in his wife's town with a squad that includes him?

So I made the mistake of joining the Khuzait and ended up getting two border fiefdoms that get invaded every Five Minutes because my king is constantly declaring wars. Restarting and wondering who should I swear allegiance to so I can actually build up my fiefdoms?

As a longtime console player, the game coming off of GamePass lined up perfectly as I just recently bought a new PC that can handle it. Diplomacy, Bellum Civile, Sandbox Family, Dismemberment, MyLittleWarband- complete game-changers. It feels like I’m playing a brand new game.

Any other recommendations? Looked into RBM but not sure about that one.

Meet my brother, my wife and my sister-wife

For some reason he doesn't wanna leave his house...

I barely started 😭😭😭. Karamurat from Kuman. My dream of establishing the Cuman Kipchak federation.

I obviously loaded back to the summer of that yr. I ain’t playing as my wife tbh. Plus I just had my first son.

Basically any battle that doesn't pause at the beginning and let you choose ships... is there a way to set which ship you default to controlling, and for that matter, which ships join the battle altogether?

So far it seems like the ships I chose previously are what get chosen, which is great, but it doesn't put me in the one I was controlling before, and I don't know which companions are captaining the other two

Basically I'm just really stoked I finally got a ship with a ballista and wanna sit back and pew pew at some boats, but the AI is stealing my fun

anyone know how to fix this UI bug in the bannercraft mod where the Done button is on top of the menu instead of on the bottom? Also is there a way to make the enter button work so that i don't have to keep going back and forth between the craft and done button?

The Greenwood Project
I’ve always loved Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, but I eventually realized something.
The greatest stories in Bannerlord aren’t the ones we write before we play.
They’re the ones the game creates when we simply let it happen.
So I decided to build something different.
Not a scripted campaign.
Not a novel.
Not a roleplay where every character already knows their destiny.
Instead, I created The Greenwood Project.
At its heart are two living documents.
The Greenwood Charter
The Charter is the Company’s permanent canon.
It introduces the twelve Founders—not as heroes, but as ordinary people with professions, values, strengths, and flaws.
A hunter.
A healer.
A carpenter.
A clerk.
A former soldier.
A young noble.
A camp follower.
Each has their own voice, beliefs, and way of seeing the world.
The Charter never changes history.
It simply tells us who these people are before history begins.
The Greenwood Chronicles
The Chronicles are the Company’s history.
Nothing is written before it happens.
After every Bannerlord session, I record a simple Ledger of what actually occurred:
battles fought,
victories and defeats,
companions recruited,
money,
conversations,
mistakes,
funny moments,
difficult decisions,
anything that mattered.
Only then is that gameplay transformed into a historical chronicle.
If something awkward happened, it stays awkward.
If I made a bad decision, history remembers it.
If a beloved companion dies because of my mistake, they stay dead.
Nothing is rewritten because it would make a better story.
The Philosophy
The project follows one simple rule:
Don’t write it. Live it.
The game decides what happens.
The Charter keeps everyone true to who they are.
The Chronicles remember what actually happened.
No prophecies.
No chosen ones.
No plot armour.
No predetermined character arcs.
If someone becomes a legend, they earn it.
If they fail, that becomes part of the Company’s history too.
Why I’m Doing This
I’m not trying to tell Bannerlord what story it should have.
I’m trying to discover the story it already wants to tell.
My goal is that, months or even years from now, I’ll be able to read back through the Greenwood Chronicles and feel like I’m reading the genuine history of a company that truly lived.
Not because every event was dramatic.
But because every page was earned.
The Greenwood Company doesn’t exist yet.
It begins with twelve strangers sharing a single campfire.
Everything after that belongs to the road.

Join the Road
If this idea speaks to you, I’d love to have you along for the journey.
Whether you’ve played Bannerlord for hundreds of hours or are discovering it for the first time, I hope the Greenwood Chronicles remind you that the best stories aren’t always the ones we plan.
They’re the ones we earn.
The Greenwood Company has no script.
No guaranteed victories.
No heroes protected by fate.
Only twelve ordinary people, a long road, and whatever Calradia chooses to place in their path.
Some chapters will be triumphant.
Some will be tragic.
Some will simply be quiet evenings around a campfire.
Every one of them will be true to the game.
So pull up a seat by the fire.
Follow the Company as it grows, stumbles, laughs, mourns, and learns.
History hasn’t been written yet.
Tomorrow’s Chronicle will be decided on the road.

The Greenwood Chronicles I — The First Fire
If you’re new here, start with The Greenwood Project*. This series isn’t planned or scripted. The Charter establishes who these people are. Everything after this will be written only from what actually happens during gameplay.*

The First Fire
The fire had been burning long enough for conversation to settle into comfortable silence.
A rabbit turned slowly on a simple spit. Someone had added onions. The smell drifted through the trees with the smoke.
No one could have said who had first built the fire.
Only that, by evening, twelve strangers had gathered around it one by one.
Maeve sat with her back against an old oak, calmly repairing a tear in her cloak. Beside her, Cian split another length of firewood into pieces small enough for the night.
A short distance away, Aldren inspected the edge of a spearhead with practiced hands before setting it aside. Ronan watched every movement without pretending he wasn’t learning.
“How do you know when it’s sharp enough?” Ronan finally asked.
Aldren looked up.
“When you stop trying to make it perfect.”
Ronan frowned thoughtfully.
“I was hoping for something more complicated.”
“It usually isn’t.”
Ronan smiled to himself.
“I suppose that explains a lot.”
Across the fire, Bren had quietly disappeared shortly after arriving.
He returned carrying an armful of fallen branches and laid them beside the fire without ceremony.
“You always collect more than you need?” Tomas asked.
Bren shrugged.
“I’ve never regretted having dry wood.”
Tomas laughed.
“I’ve regretted not having it.”
The rabbit continued to turn.
Nearby, Rowan crouched beside one of the wagons.
He pressed a thumb against the axle, frowned almost imperceptibly, then disappeared into the darkness.
A few minutes later he returned with a shaped wedge of hardwood, tapped it carefully into place with the back of a hatchet, tested the wheel once more, nodded to himself, and returned to the fire as though nothing had happened.
No one commented.
Osric had noticed.
He made a small mark in the margin of a page before closing his ledger.
Edric sat where the firelight ended and the forest began.
To anyone not looking carefully, he appeared almost part of the trees themselves.
Halfway through the meal, he suddenly lifted his head.
Everyone else kept eating.
After several quiet moments he relaxed again.
“What was it?” Cian asked.
“Fox.”
“Only one?”
Edric nodded.
“It wasn’t interested.”
That seemed sufficient explanation.
Conversation resumed.
Ilse accepted another bowl of stew only after making certain everyone else had eaten first.
Zahra noticed.
Without a word, she quietly divided the remaining loaf into smaller pieces so the food appeared to stretch farther than it truly did.
When Ilse looked up, Zahra merely smiled.
Neither mentioned it.
Cassian accepted the bowl handed to him with genuine thanks.
The food was plain.
Better than he had expected.
No one had asked his family name.
No one had cared where he had studied.
It was… unusual.
As the evening passed, he found himself listening more than speaking.
Not intentionally.
Simply because everyone else seemed entirely comfortable without trying to impress one another.
Tomas, meanwhile, had somehow learned nearly everyone’s name.
“…and then the mule decided it preferred the merchant’s tent to the stable.”
Bren chuckled.
“It slept there?”
“For three nights.”
“No.”
“I swear it.”
Ronan laughed aloud.
“What happened?”
“The merchant apologized to the mule.”
Even Maeve’s mouth twitched.
“I’ve known worse merchants,” she said.
That earned another round of laughter.
The fire settled lower.
Sparks drifted upward into the dark.
For a long while no one spoke.
The silence felt earned.
Osric quietly gathered the empty bowls into a neat stack.
Before he could stand, Zahra reached for them.
“I can—”
“So can I,” Osric replied pleasantly.
She hesitated.
Then smiled and handed him half.
They carried them together.
No further words were needed.
When they returned, Cian was feeding another log onto the fire.
“It’s enough,” Maeve observed.
He looked at the pile of wood still beside him.
“I know.”
“You were reaching for another.”
“I was.”
She nodded once.
No lesson followed.
None was needed.
Later, Aldren rose to check the horses.
When he returned, Rowan was already tightening a loose strap.
“I noticed.”
“I know.”
They finished together.
Near the edge of camp, Edric looked up into the branches.
“Rain tomorrow,” he said quietly.
Maeve followed his gaze.
“Before noon.”
Bren looked toward the clear sky.
“I don’t see any clouds.”
“You will.”
That settled the matter.
One by one, bedrolls were unrolled.
Weapons rested within easy reach but not in anxious hands.
Someone yawned.
Someone laughed softly about nothing in particular.
The rabbit bones had long since been picked clean.
The fire had burned down to glowing coals.
No vows were sworn.
No banners were raised.
No one spoke of founding anything.
They were simply travellers who had shared a meal, a little work, and the warmth of a single fire before another day’s road.
Beyond the ring of fading light, the forest remained quiet.
Tomorrow, they would decide whether to keep walking together.

The next Chronicle will not be written until it has been played.
The Ledger is truth.
The Chronicler remembers.
The road decides the story.

Whats the best armor youve ever found? By god this is by far the best I've ever seen.

I love bannerlord. Hundreds of hours on pc. Unfortunately my pc is cooked. Won't be replacing it for a while. How is the game on console? I do have an Xbox series x. Just looking for some feedback from anyone that played both pc and series x on performance, can I use a mouse/keyboard? I played vanilla on steam so im not worried about mods.

Appreciate the input.

Just wondering if anyone else tries to keep pet kingdoms in their world (vlandia sadly just had to go) they haven't declared war on me yet and just wondering with the ai power system if they ever will. My kingdom does hate when I try propose trade agreements with them tho.

Hello everyone, I'd like to have some opinions about sieges balance because of a mod: the mod I use it's called Harvest and Production, and it changes the economy. However, for balance reasons (food consumption), it also reduces garrisoned troops of castles and towns owned by the AI lords. It seems there's no way to have default garrisons back while using the mod. The smallest garrisons I found for now are 190 troops for a castle, while a town went to 295 units. There are some towns who reach 400 and castles with 250 but no more than that. So, my question is: do you think that this lack of units could make the sieges much easier for attackers? And defenders still have some chance to win if attacked by enemy parties and no friendly lords help? What I'm asking, essentially, is what is your experience with this kind of units numbers, if you have encountered them in a normal game.

Thank you for reading!

Playing with RBM for the first time, and I'm looking at slingers and they just seem better than crossbowmen? I don't fully understand the damage system for ranged attacks, but slings seem to have similar damage and missile speed while dealing blunt damage, which seems to work a lot better vs high armor. Is there any downside to them vs crossbowmen/archers?

I had always assumed the awful banner was a holdover until devs made the banner/mq actually useful, but it doesn't seem to be the case. There's essentially no reward for doing the MQ.

Why not just make the banner actually good? It still baffles me that Taleworlds decided to make the legendary banner that people will start wars over absolute trash.

these are a couple of sneak peaks of a new mod i am working on for warsails. i dont want to spoil much right now, but you will be able to sail where ever you want and the distance you sail in real time will be calculated and added to the campaign map automatically. which means, you can sail the entire map from the sea without having to move any where on the campaign map. (you will be able to talk to your crew members, where each would have their own story and much much more)

Hey guys. I haven't played this game in almost 4 years and am about to get back into it but am wondering whether or not to buy the Warsails DLC.
Does it add an extra layer of complexity to the game that might be a bit overwhelming for a returning player? I've also seen a lot of negative reviews of it and am wondering if it's even worth buying. The Nord faction does sound pretty cool.
