📋 About This Mod

In Native, when you execute a captured Lord that is not dishonorable you take a major penalty to Honor.  This mod allows you to execute Lords without taking either an Honor penalty or Relation penalty, or without any penalties!

This mod is Save compatible and has been tested with Bannerlord version 1. 5. 1.

By default, you will not receive an Honor penalty when executing dishonorable or cruel lords, but will receive the default relation penalties.

To change this behavior you must modify the module's configuration file:

(steam install folder)\Modules\RighteousExecutions\ModuleData\RighteousExecutionsSettings.xml

NOTE: This XML file will not be created until you load a save or start a new game with this module initialized.  I will include a default version in next release.  For now please just load a save or start a new game and exit out, then you can configure it.

The default file has contents:

<?xml version="1. 0"?>

<RighteousExecutionsSettings xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<Version>1</Version>

<HonorPenalty>IfCruel</HonorPenalty>

<RelationshipPenalty>Normal</RelationshipPenalty>

</RighteousExecutionsSettings>

Possible values for HonorPenalty:

  • []Normal - use default honor penalty system

    []IfCruel - does not apply honor penalty if Lord has Cruel trait (in addition to no penalty of Lord is dishonorable)

    []Never - never suffer honor penalty

    Possible values for RelationshipPenalty:

    • []Normal - use default relationship penalty system

    • Never - never suffer relationship penalty

      So if you want to execute with abandon you could change the configuration file to:

      <?xml version="1. 0"?>

      <RighteousExecutionsSettings xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

      <Version>1</Version>

      <HonorPenalty>Never</HonorPenalty>

      <RelationshipPenalty>Never</RelationshipPenalty>

      </RighteousExecutionsSettings>

      The game's native relationship system is constantly being tweaked by TaleWorlds so currently this mod provides an all-or-nothing configuration for relationship pentalties.

      Thanks to Party Manager mod for useful code.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Load a save or start a new game once after installing to generate the settings XML file, then exit and edit it to your liking.
  • If you're on Steam, the config file is in your Steam install folder under Modules/RighteousExecutions/ModuleData/.
  • Set HonorPenalty to 'Never' and RelationshipPenalty to 'Never' if you want to execute without any consequences at all.
