  Economy Overhaul Framework

  A systemic economic overhaul that makes cities, villages, trade and wars actually matter. This mod reworks Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord’s economy to behave in a more coherent, reactive and strategic way, without forcing artificial AI behavior or turning the game into a management simulator.

  The goal is simple:

  make economy, warfare and AI decisions naturally influence each other.

  ---

  🔹 Core Philosophy
  • []No scripted outcomes

    []No forced AI behavior

    []No hard collapses or instant recoveries

  Everything works through gradual economic pressure, allowing the AI to react organically.

  Wars are no longer decided only by armies, but also by logistics, production and supply.

  🏘️ Cities & Food System ReworkCity food supply now has multiple layers:
  • []Cities depend on their bound villages for long-term stability

    []When villages are raided, cities begin to suffer economically

    []Shortages do not cause instant collapse, but prolonged pressure leads to:

    []food decline

    []prosperity loss

    []slower militia growth

  Market food buffer (emergency system):
  • []If a city is starving, it can temporarily consume food stored in the market

    []This buffer is limited and slow

    []It prevents instant famine, but cannot sustain a city indefinitely

  Result:
  • []Raiding villages before an siege actually matters

    []Failed sieges still damage the defending city

    []Cities recover only if their surrounding territory recovers

  ---

  🌾 Village Production OverhaulVillage production is now influenced by:
  • []Village population (hearth-based)

    []Regional characteristics (coastal, mountain, northern, southern, etc.)

    []Seasonal effects

    []Demand from the bound city

  This creates:

  []Stronger economic regions

  []Meaningful production specialization

  [*]Real consequences when villages are repeatedly raided
