📋 About This Mod

As mentioned above, this is a patch to align Swadian Armoury's armour values to those in the Realistic Battle Mod.

Without this patch, Swadian Armoury armours will be severely underpowered as RBM only changes vanilla armour values.

Working in Bannerlord game version 1. 2. 12 and all prior supported versions of the Swadian Armoury mod.

This should also work for any future Bannerlord versions, providing Swadian Armoury mod still works.

Balanced vs. Slightly OP

  • []With the balanced version, Swadian Armoury's armours will be strong, compared to vanilla armour, but not necessarily the best. They are roughly equivalent to the strongest vanilla armours.

    []In the slightly OP version, Swadian Armoury's armours are a little stronger than even the best vanilla armours.

    • []NOTE: If you use Orbis Terrae Armarium FullFix and RBM or Expanded Bannerlord Armoury FullFix and RBM, I would suggest using the Slightly OP version of my patch. Both of those mods have similar armour types to Swadian Armoury and the author of their RBM patches made the armour in those mod packs very strong.

      MANUAL INSTALLATION

      This mod is now installed like any other Bannerlord mod so it should work with Vortex, but manual installation is still the preferred way of installing Bannerlord mods.

      Instructions:

      • []Download Swadian Armoury by ADamnSexyName

        []Download Realistic Battle Mod by Philozoraptor

        []Choose either the Balanced or Slightly OP version of this mod.

        []Extract the mod folder and place into your Bannerlord Modules folder

        []Ensure this mod loads AFTER Swadian Armoury in your load order.

        If you feel like fine tuning the armour values for your own purposes, its super easy!

        Armour values can be changed to your liking by editing the items.xml and changing the values associated with head_armor, body_armor, arm_armor and leg_armor for a specific piece of equipment.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 1,061 endorsements and 71,194 downloads
  • Fixes a real problem: Swadian Armoury armor is underpowered without it when using RBM
  • Offers two balance options to suit different playstyles

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires both Swadian Armoury and Realistic Battle Mod as dependencies
  • Manual installation preferred; load order must be set correctly (after Swadian Armoury)
  • No automated installer or mod manager integration mentioned
🎯 Is This For You?
For Bannerlord players who use both Swadian Armoury and Realistic Battle Mod and want armor stats to be consistent. If you don't use RBM, this patch is unnecessary. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or don't want to manage load order.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Ensure this mod loads AFTER Swadian Armoury in your load order, or the patch won't apply.
  • If you use Orbis Terrae Armarium FullFix or Expanded Bannerlord Armoury FullFix with RBM, choose the Slightly OP version to match their armor strength.
  • To tweak armor values, edit items.xml in the mod folder—look for head_armor, body_armor, arm_armor, and leg_armor fields.
