📋 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 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.
