Roads Are Risky (PTF) is a gameplay mod for Kingdom Come: Deliverance that increases the chance of ambushes and battle events during fast travel, on foot, and on horseback.

✨ Key Features

Increases the chance of ambushes and battle events on roads.
Works during fast travel, walking/running, and horseback riding.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 1,511 endorsements and over 61k downloads — clearly a popular pick for players wanting more road action.
  • PTF patching means it doesn't overwrite the whole table, so it's less likely to clash with other mods that don't touch the same lines.
  • Three variants let you tailor the experience: full chaos, ambush-only, or event-only — nice flexibility.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in October 2020 — may be out of date with current game patches, so check compatibility before installing.
  • Only edits one file (random_event.xml), but any mod that alters the same lines will conflict — you'll need to manage load order carefully.
  • No detailed documentation on exact encounter rates or how much the chances are increased — you'll have to test in-game to feel the difference.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Kingdom Come: Deliverance players who find road travel too safe and want more random encounters to break up the monotony. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who enjoys unexpected battles, this adds spice. Skip if you prefer a calm, exploration-focused experience or if you're running many mods that edit random_event.xml.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Extract the zip directly into your KingdomComeDeliverance/mods folder — no mod manager needed, but make sure you pick one of the three variant folders to keep.
  • If you're using other mods that touch random_event.xml, test early to see if they conflict — you might need to choose which mod takes priority.
  • Since the mod affects fast travel, you can use it to force more encounters when you're grinding for combat skills or loot.
