📋 About This Mod
Do your companions or spouse hate you for being too merciful, or not merciful enough?
Are the lords displeased you vote against them a little too often?
Don't you think with all the battles you have fought together they should have grown a little fond of you?
This mod increases your relationship with others when you win a battle or tournament.
Here are the details for each scenario.
Tournaments
Everyone loves a winner!
When you win a tournament those who witness (are in town) the tournament will like you a little more because you were so impressive.
This affects visiting nobles, workshop owners (notables), wanderers and of course your party.
Battle worthy of relationship increase example:
Hey Voshen, remember when we started out, it was just the two of us. You saw 20 looters and just had to say CHARGE! Heh can't believe we survived that one, makes a great story though, doesn't it? Here is to upstarts and their crazy charge to glory!
Unworthy battle
Oh, that is great Voshen! We took on 10 looters on with our army of two hundred, the bards will sing us a great song for that!
When you win a battle against looters, parties, settlements, or armies you will get an increased relationship with those in your party, and nobles in the battle that were not your enemy.
