A question about modding...

[Aonghus G. Friedhold]

Troop sizes/recruitment rates. Say I want to be able to make massive armies in small amount of time, what can I do? I'm pretty sure some mods change the rates or sizes, so how can I? Move this if it's in the wrong place.

Ah, my bad. But in that case, all you need to do is make some changes to the scripts.txt file in your Mount&Blade folder. Just open the scripts.txt file and find the following line by going to the edit menu:

party_get_ideal_size -1

Now, the next few lines should look like the following in the original scripts.txt file:

25 21 1 1224979098644774912 2133 2 1224979098644774913 30 4 0 541 3 1224979098644774912 0 13 1652 3 1224979098644774914 1224979098644774912 0 2204 2 1224979098644774915 1224979098644774912 2133 2 1224979098644774913 10 2170 3 1224979098644774916 1369094286720630785 1224979098644774914 2172 3 1224979098644774917 1224979098644774914 3 2107 2 1224979098644774916 5 2105 2 1224979098644774913 1224979098644774916 2105 2 1224979098644774913 1224979098644774917 520 3 1224979098644774918 1224979098644774914 7 2123 3 1224979098644774919 1224979098644774918 25 2105 2 1224979098644774913 1224979098644774919 4 0 542 3 1224979098644774915 10 1224979098644774914 2105 2 1224979098644774913 100 3 0 3 0 2171 2 1224979098644774920 360287970189639680 2120 3 1224979098644774921 90 1224979098644774920 2107 2 1224979098644774913 1224979098644774921 2108 2



Notice the numbers in bold. These are the values that matter in the calculation of your party size.

30 -> It is the base party size. You can change it to whatever minimum party size you want for the players. This is how some mods have ridiculous party size limit in the beginning.

5 -> This value refers to the increase in party size per leadership point.

25 -> This is the amount of renown required to gain one extra party size unit.

100 -> This is the base party size for all the kings in your game.

Once you've edited the values, save the text file.

Hope this helps. Might not work with some mods, but it will work with native.
Make sure you back up scripts.txt first.

Late reply from me...
I don't want bigger party sizes, I want to recruit more at one time.

That can be done with TweakMB, a very simple, little program with various tweaks (works for both M&B and Warband).

Looks like this:

Yes, I found that utility literally 5 minutes before you posted that. Rep for effort though.

Maybe you should add this to your concise guide Adorno
