📋 About This Mod

ENGLISH

This mod has been created to expand the tactical possibilities of the game. With it, you can place Strategic points where archers of your team will take position to shoot at enemies troops. You can place points when your order interface is open. Archers will go on your points when the F2+F8 order (scatter around) is activated.

The new version of Scatter Around Expanded (SAE V3) is now available!

To use the new Sphere system that has been published in SAE V3 you need to place some markers in a map and to save them (using SAE menu) and when you will reload this map in the future, you will be able to see your saved markers when you place your sphere at the same position of your markers (And you can spawn them using a key).

To see the sphere, you need to press LEFT ALT when the order menu is open.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 904 endorsements and over 67k downloads, showing solid trust.
  • Adds real tactical depth by letting you control archer positioning beyond vanilla orders.
  • RBM compatible, so it works with popular realism mods.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires learning multiple hotkeys (F11, F2+F8, LEFT ALT, CTRL+P) which might feel overwhelming at first.
  • Marker system might be complex for casual players who just want quick archer placement.
  • No explicit mention of compatibility with other mods beyond RBM, so potential conflicts with other gameplay overhauls.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Bannerlord players who love tactical command and want finer control over archer placement in battles. It's great for those who use RBM and want to integrate strategic points into their playstyle. Skip if you prefer vanilla simplicity or don't want to manage marker groups.
