Relationships Fade With Time

In Bannerlord, relationships can remain frozen forever.

A lord may still hate someone decades after a war, execution, betrayal, or political conflict, even if nothing happens between them for years.

Calradia Forgets was made to make relationships feel more human and less permanent.

If enough time passes without a new event, relationships slowly drift back toward neutral.

Hatred fades.

Casual friendships weaken.

But strong bonds remain.

How It Works

Negative relationships slowly recover toward

• []-1 to -19→

  +1every 7 days [/]

  []-20 to -49→

  +1every 10 days [/]

  []-50 to -79→

  +1every 14 days [/]

  []-80 to -100→

  +1every 21 days [/]

Stronger hatred takes longer to disappear.

Positive relationships can also fade, but the stronger the friendship, the slower it changes.

• []+1 to +19→

  -1every 21 days [/]

  []+20 to +49→

  -1every 30 days [/]

  []+50 to +59→

  -1every 45 days [/]

  []+60 to +100→ protected and never decays [/]

So a relationship of

+15may slowly disappear if two people never interact again, while a relationship of

+60is treated as a strong lasting bond.

Important Rules

Whenever a relationship changes, there is a 30-day grace period before forgetting begins.

Decay also pauses when:

• []the two heroes' kingdoms are at war [/]

  []either hero is a prisoner [/]

This prevents characters from slowly forgiving each other while they are still actively fighting or imprisoned.

Children and dead heroes are ignored.

Why I Made This

I wanted relationships to feel like they exist in time.

An execution should create hatred.

A betrayal should destroy trust.

A friendship should matter.

But if many peaceful years pass without another incident, those feelings should not necessarily remain exactly the same forever.

Events create relationships. Time reshapes them.

Version 2

Version 2 adds positive relationship decay.

• []Positive relationships below

  +60can slowly fade [/]

  []+60and above are protected [/]

  []The protection threshold is configurable [/]

  []Negative relationship recovery remains unchanged [/]

Settings

You can customize the balance here:

It works well alongside mods that create relationship changes, including:
