📋 About This Mod
With this mod you can assign any unit to any formation in the party screen, for example, I can assign Sturgian Spearman to Formation V and Imperial Cataphract in the same as the Sturgian Spearman, ect. This is far superior than Bannerlords slider method, don't believe me? ask Jeremus.
Note, if the game ever updates and breaks the mod, it may or may not be updated I don't expect Vombora to fix it, so it'll fall to me and as of now I don't have any modding skills, but I'm going to start learning.
Installation: Drop TroopFormations into Modules folder found where you installed your game.
How to use:
Step 1. Open your party screen
Step 2. Select any troop, a banner icon should show up around the top
Step 3. Click said banner icon and then choose one of the formations such as V
Step 4. Command your armies like Jeremus

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Proven track record with 367 endorsements and 32k downloads—clearly a lot of players trusted it.
- The author is upfront about the mod being outdated and points you to a maintained fork, so you're not left guessing.
- Since it's a gameplay tweak, it likely makes battles feel more tactical without overhauling the whole game.
⚠️ Cons
- No longer updated, so you're stuck with whatever bugs or balance issues exist in this version.
- You'll need to grab the successor mod by AndysSs for future compatibility, which adds an extra step.
- Compatibility with the latest Bannerlord patches is uncertain since the original hasn't been touched since October 2024.
This is for Bannerlord players who want better control over troop formations in battle and don't mind using a mod that's been superseded. It's also for those who want to try the original before moving to the maintained version, or who prefer the original's approach.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the original is outdated, consider installing the linked new version by AndysSs instead for better long-term support.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for any known issues or user fixes before adding it to your load order.
- If you're on a newer game version, test the mod in a custom battle first to see if it works without crashes.
