📋 About This Mod
Better Auto Calc is a mod which aims to help you with the issue of high level troops dying to garbage troops in auto resolve. The effect of this mod is subtle. You will still have the odd high tier troop die, but no longer will it be a guarantee like it feels in the native game.
What does the game do?
The way auto resolve works is (basically) like this:
- get a random troop from a party.
- get the power level of this troop, and apply it as damage to another defending troop.
The problem with native, is that the power levels of all troops are actually quite close to each other, as far as the game is concerned, there's not THAT much difference between a tier 1 and a tier 5. There is a difference, but it isn't a lot, which is why you often see high tiers be killed by low tier trash.
What does your mod do?
Better Auto Calc uses a new formula when calculating the power level of a troop. Essentially, it provides a slight buff to high tier troops, and a slight debuff to low tier troops. This buff/debuff can be modified through a config file provided by the mod, so you can change it to your hearts content. Read the Details section below to learn more.
Installation:
- Manually download the lastest version (I don't trust Vortex).
- Extract the folder called "BetterAutoCalc" onto "Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules".
- Launch the launcher, go to mods, and enable "BetterAutoCalc".
- Endorse, or else the mod won't work.
Details:
The factor value (which you can modify in the config) defaults to 0. 4. the lower you make it, the weaker buffs/debuffs are across the board. The following data assumes the factor value remains as default:
Tier 1 troop = 74% power level.
Tier 2 troop = 87% power level.
Tier 3 troop = 100% power level.
Tier 4 troop = 113% power level.
Tier 5 troop = 126% power level.
Tier 6 troop = 140% power level.
Although the values seem low, there is now a 52% extra difference in power levels when comparing a tier 5 unit to a tier 1. Which means that the low tier troop is not likely to produce such damage to kill the high level troop. But it can still happen, this is no guarantee.
My game crashes, why?
- You didn't unblock my .dlls.
- You're running some other mod that's messing with the "GetPower" function.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 2,096 endorsements and 53k downloads.
- Config file lets you fine-tune the balance to your liking.
- Directly addresses a common complaint about auto-resolve killing elites.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may not work with the latest game patches.
- Author recommends manual install, so no Vortex support out of the box.
- Effect is subtle; you'll still lose high-tier troops occasionally, just less often.
For Bannerlord players who are tired of losing elite troops to peasant mobs in auto-resolve. If you want a more predictable and fair auto-resolve without overhauling the whole system, this is for you. Skip if you prefer pure vanilla or want a complete combat overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Disable the mod before updating the game to avoid crashes.
- Back up your config file before tweaking the factor value.
- Test a few battles after changing the factor to see if the balance feels right.
