📋 About This Mod

War & AI Tweaks – Mod Overview

All features of this mod can be enabled or disabled individually via the in-game MCM menu.

For those coming from the old War&AITweaks. This is not an updated version of that mod. This a complete re-write of multiple systems. It also creates brand new systems. This expands on my old mod by a significant amount. This is, by all accounts, a significantly more thought out and complete overhaul of the AI and base game systems than the old mod.


Core Features
  • []Strategic AI Diplomacy

    []Military AI Overhaul

    []Marshal System

    []Clan & Party Respawn

    []Feasts

    []Fill-Stacks System

    []Companion UI Overlay

    []BattleChatter

    []Settlement Culture Conversion


Strategic AI Diplomacy
  • []Replaces random diplomacy with a 4X-style decision system.

    []Wars and peace evaluated by strength, geography, alliances, war fatigue, and feasts.

    []Prevents snowballing by targeting runaway kingdoms.

    []War fatigue grows with long wars and losses, declines during peace.

    []Player kingdoms included with configurable voting and peace offers.

    []Vanilla random war/peace decisions fully disabled.

Compatibility: Diplomacy Mod

The Strategic AI is mostly compatible with the Diplomacy Mod through integration.

Respected by Strategic AI (if enabled in Diplomacy Mod)

  • []Non-aggression pacts

    []Alliances

    []Alliances are factored into total strength calculations when considering war declarations

    []No wars between friends

    []No wars if good relations

    []No wars when married

Not Altered by This Mod

  • []Strategic AI does not change how Diplomacy Mod decides alliances or pacts.

    []Diplomacy’s scoring for these agreements remains untouched and may not always align with Strategic AI’s logic.

Ignored Settings (Original)

  • []Diplomacy Mod’s war exhaustion system (turn this off—Strategic AI has its own non-linear fatigue mechanic)

    []Expansionism

Recommendation

Disable Diplomacy Mod’s war exhaustion and Expansionism options to avoid conflicts, since Strategic AI already has its own internal systems.


Military AI Overhaul
  • []Complete Replacement for the Bannerlord Military AI.

    []AI forms larger armies, selects stronger targets, and adapts mid-campaign.

    []Armies cooperate, pursue objectives relentlessly, and strike with intent.


Marshal System

[]Leaders appoint or elect Marshals to command armies.

[]Marshals gain bonuses to cohesion and influence when leading.

[*]Success and failure are tracked and affect
