📋 About This Mod

Customize your fief management with recruiters, advanced troop training with templates, automatic garrison recruitment, a standalone UI, custom parties with orders and more!

Improved Garrisons is a Mount & Blade Bannerlord mod which aims to improve the management of your

castles and settlements. With this mod a Improved Garrison will be added to each of your fiefs which allows

a custom AI to defend your properties. Some of the main principles of the mod are compatibility, convienience and

delivering a balanced experience to your bannerlord playthrough.

Standalone UI

  •   []Configure each Castle or Settlement individually.  [/]

    []Activate & deactivate the mod at any time — works with ongoing or new campaigns.  [/]

    []Manage your Improved Garrisons from anywhere on the map.  [/]

    []Compact overview showing which settlements, castles, or villages are under attack, destroyed, or at peace.  [/]

    Recruitment

    •   []Automatically recruit troops from nearby villages into your garrison.  [/]

      []Automatically recruit prisoners over time as they gain conformity.  [/]

      []Set recruitment thresholds (e.g., stop recruiting when the garrison reaches 100 units).  [/]

      []Create Recruiter Parties.  [/]

      []Recruiters gather troops from outside your fief’s region.  [/]

      []Restrict recruiters to specific cultures.  [/]

      []Specify the number of troops recruiters should collect.  [/]

      []Enable “elite-only recruitment” to collect only top-tier units (e.g., Battanian Fians).  [/]

      Training

      •   []Automatically train and upgrade all garrisoned troops.  [/]

        []Use the Template Manager to create fully custom training templates.  [/]

        []Garrisons automatically upgrade troops according to your templates.  [/]

        []Training templates synchronize across all saves.  [/]

        []Train different garrisons with different army compositions (e.g., Empire infantry vs. Khuzait horse archer templates).  [/]

        []Improved Garrisons automatically recruits the troops needed for your template — just set the desired types and numbers.  [/]

        Custom AI

        •   []Create Guard Parties directly from your garrisoned troops.  [/]

          []Assign various orders to Guard Parties.  [/]

          []Guard Parties defend your villages, castles, and settlements.  [/]

          []Command them to follow you into war — they assist in sieges and open battles.  [/]

          []Order them to defend clan parties (caravans, companion parties, etc.).  [/]

          []Guard Parties capture and sell prisoners.  [/]

          []Self-sustaining behavior: automatically refill troops from the garrison and heal wounded units.  [/]

          []Optional: allow Guard Parties to buy horses for improved speed.  [/]

          []Guard Parties loot defeated enemies and sell the loot.  [/]

          []Advanced AI decisions (“Defend XY Village”, “Retreat — enemy too strong”, “Return to settlement to heal”, etc.).  [/]

          Management

          []View important fief stats: food stocks, gold income, prosperity, and more.  [/]

          []Inspect each garrison’s troop roster from anywhere on the map.  [/]

          []Transfer units between garrisons.  [/]

          []Manage town projects remotely: add/remove projects from anywhere.  [/]
