📋 About This Mod

Features

- Increases training xp depending on the leadership skill of the trainer, and on the level difference between the trainer and the troop being trained.

- Awards leadership skill xp to the trainer, so that becoming a vassal isn't the only decent way to earn leadership experience.

- Introduces basic training for heroes that have neither training perk. This should help heroes to actually get up to 25 leadership skill.

- All heroes in a party will train the party's troops separately, so you can have as many trainers and whichever perks you want.

- Increases Training Field xp for garrisons.

- Options to modify fief tax income, party wages, and troop upgrade costs (To help keep AI lords from going bankrupt).

- Everything is configurable with the in-game mod options menu provided by Mod Configuration Menu, or with the config file, depending on the version of this mod you use.

Installation

You can install this mod using the Vortex mod manager. Remember to enable Training Tweak in the game launcher's mods menu.

Or you can manually install by placing the "TrainingTweak" folder in your "...\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules" folder, and enabling Training Tweak in the game launcher's mods menu. Don't forget to unblock the dll files (see 'If You Crash On Startup' section below).

If you install the Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) version, make sure you also install Mod Configuration Menu, or else the game will crash on startup.

If You Crash On Startup

If your game crashes on startup:

- Make sure your mods' DLL files are unblocked.

- If using the Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) version of this mod, make sure you have Mod Configuration Menu up to date, enabled, and above Training Tweak in the mod load order.

To unblock this mod's DLLs, navigate to your

"...\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\TrainingTweak\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client"

folder, right-click the TrainingTweak.dll file, click Properties, and under the General tab of the Properties window, tick the Unblock checkbox at the bottom of the menu. Repeat for the 0Harmony.dll and MCMv3.dll files. If the checkbox doesn't appear, the cause of the crash is likely elsewhere.

To move mods in the load order, go to the game launcher's Mods menu, where you can click and drag the three horizontal bars to the left of a mod name to move it in the load order.

Troubleshooting

Before posting about your issue, try these preliminary steps:

- Make sure you have the latest version of Training Tweak and all your other mods installed. You can check the version in the game launcher's Mods menu.

- Try running the game in Administrator Mode. Mod Configuration Menu requires permission to write files to your computer in order to work properly.

- Disable all mods except Training Tweak (and Mod Configuration Menu if using the MCM version), and see if the issue persists (If your save won't load without the other mods and your issue is easy to reproduce, you can try making a new campaign with only this mod enabled for testing purposes). This should help narrow down which mod is causing the issue or conflict.

If the issue is a crash, please get the log files located at "C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\logs" after crashing and attach them to a New Issue Ticket on my github (You may need to create a free Github account). The ProgramData folder is hidden by default, so if you can't find it, just copy and paste the path directly into your File Explorer's path bar. If you have a mod that provides detailed crash reporting (e.g. ModLib), please also attach a screenshot of the detailed crash report that appeared when the crash occurred.

If it is some other issue, please post a bug report here, or create a New Issue Ticket on my github (You may need to create a free Github account).

Configuration

If using the MCM version, you can configure this mod in the Mod Options menus added by Mod Configuration Menu to the game's main menu and to the in-game Escape menu.

If using the Standalone version, you can configure this mod by editing the config.xml file located at:

...\steamapps\common

  • Fixes a common grind by making leadership XP earnable outside vassalage, a real quality-of-life win.
  • Flexible config: tweak taxes, wages, and upgrade costs to keep AI lords from going broke.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2020, so it may not work with the latest Bannerlord versions without patches.
  • Requires Mod Configuration Menu for the MCM version, and missing it causes startup crashes.
  • Manual install needs DLL unblocking, which can trip up less technical players.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Bannerlord players who want a deeper, more rewarding training system and more control over economy. Great for those who enjoy leading armies and building up heroes. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or don't want extra setup.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Unblock the DLL files after manual install: right-click each DLL, go to Properties, and check 'Unblock' if present.
  • Use the in-game mod options menu to adjust training rates and economic settings without editing files.
