Summary

The mod modifies and adds new tournament contestants, rewards, impacts on the overall campaign, impacts on relationships with local nobles, XP and stat gains, how tournaments are created, events related to tournaments, tournament difficulty, and more.

Tournaments Enhanced is also customizable! Installing Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) enables the in-game mod options screen.

In terms of balancing, the default settings of this mod make tournaments a lot more challenging for the average player. In turn, however, they are also far more rewarding. As a lord, they can help you increase your settlement's stats at the expense of gold and food stocks, while gaining favor with the local notables. As a participant, it gives you far better XP and item rewards (based on your renown).

Tournaments are now triggered by various events happening on the campaign map instead of just randomly appearing. Different triggers will have different effects on the settlement holding the tournament.

[]Local nobles will call tournaments to celebrate the weddings of their lords.

[]Local nobles will call tournaments to celebrate the birth of their lord's children.
