📋 About This Mod

Now with MCM. Adds team-practice fight to town arena to train with your companions, a new Tournament Mode where prisoners fight for their freedom, and ability to challenge Lords to duels!

Adds additional features to town arenas!

Check Changelog for V2. 0 changes.

Train Party - Starts a practice fight with you and all your companions, family, and/or soldiers against opponents. XP gain in this mode is patched to reflect normal battle XP gain. You and your party spawn in with their equipped battle gear as well. Beats chasing down looter parties to try and level up your companions and more fun/immersive than a click/wait method. Costs scales on who you choose to train.

Instead of fighting troops of the towns culture, it now pulls from all pools so you're fighting a wider variety of enemies. You can now choose which troops or companions you wish to train and give orders during training!

Prisoner Tournament - If you own a town and have prisoners in your party or dungeon, you can start a custom tournament that fills participants with prisoner heroes from the town dungeon, and then heroes from your party. If a prisoner wins the tournament, they win their freedom! Cost is scaled on how many prisoners/player party participants there are. Prisoners spawn into the tournament with full health to give them an equal chance at freedom.

Arena Duel - While in town, visit the keep and start a conversation with a Lord/Lady. You will have the option to challenge them to a duel and place a wager on the outcome. You can only duel once per day and there is a weekly cooldown for the individual Lord you challenge. There are implications for renown, influence, and relation as well depending on how the match goes. Added some variation in dialog options depending on which traits the hero has. Once per day, when visiting a town, NPC Lords may also challenge the player to a duel depending on how much they dislike you, with an additional modifier based on their traits. This is balanced to be something that only happens occasionally (not frequent/annoying).

Looter Horde - In the in-game MCM options, you can select "LooterHorde" and fight tons of looters instead of soldiers in train mode.

MCM Options now included to customize your training sessions like reducing or disabling ranged opponents, opponent amounts, spawn interval and more. More options to come, like customizing relation thresholds for getting challenged to duels, adjusting javelins in training mode, etc... But I hope you all enjoy this first implementation for now.

You should always back up your saves. Tested on 1. 5. 2 w/ Warsails.

I have a lot more plans/ideas for this mod, I hope you enjoy it!
