📋 About This Mod
Due to a bug in vanilla Bannerlord, caravans only give trade experience if they're owned by notables, not clan leaders (the player is a clan leader). This mod applies the same XP gain of notable caravans to player caravans.
Trade XP is gained daily, when the caravan pays out to the player. The amount of XP gained is half of the gold paid out by the caravan times the player's learning rate. The NPC leading the caravan also gets trade XP, based on a quarter of the caravan payout.
Tested in 1. 2. 0 beta. Uses Harmony.
Fixes a Bannerlord bug where player-owned caravans grant no trade XP, applying the same XP gain as notable caravans. Daily XP is half the payout times learning rate, and the caravan leader gets a quarter. Tested in 1.2.0 beta, uses Harmony.
