♦ Introduction
Troop Designer is a visual troop editor and recruitment overhaul for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. It gives players and mod authors powerful tools for designing troops, building armies, and changing how soldiers appear and are recruited throughout a campaign.
Create entirely new troop trees or edit native troops directly through an in-game interface. Customize equipment, skills, attributes, appearance, wages, upgrade requirements, special combat abilities, recruitment rules, AI recruitment behavior, garrison generation, and bandit party spawning—without writing code.
Your creations can be shared through the cloud library or exported as standalone troop mods that do not require Troop Designer. Whether you want a carefully balanced custom faction, a fantasy army with unique powers, a brutal elite guard, or a complete recruitment overhaul, Troop Designer gives you the tools to build it.
