Battle Mini Map

Another mod in the "this should be in the vanilla" series. The Battle Mini Map modification places a small map in the corner of the screen for easier orientation during combat. A quick glance allows you to look up enemy positions and terrain. An absolutely mandatory mod, at least in our opinion.

Once could only have minor objections to visual aspects. A lot depends on personal preferences, but it seems that the map could be better separated from the rest of the game area, e.g. by closing it in a circle. Looking at the screen, it's easy to miss it. However, you can get used to it with time. In addition, you can customize the minimap to your own preferences.

The creator of the mod has stopped updating it to new versions of the game. However, there was someone who did it for him. However, she stipulated that when the original gets updated, the copy will be deleted.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Download the Battle Mini Map mod.
2. Unpack the downloaded archive to the Modules folder located in the game's main directory.
3. Activate the mod in the launcher.
4. By pressing M or holding Alt you can switch the map, and by pressing L during battle, you can go to settings.

Realistic Battle Mod – improved combat

Modders love to change the game parameters invented by the developers. In the case of Realistic Battle Mod, compatible with the latest Bannerlord 1.1.2, the author's goal was to create faster and more realistic clashes. It changed the damage calculation system.

Improvements can also be seen in artificial intelligence. It gained a little more sensibility. Soldiers parry and block more attacks, making clashes more difficult. Computer-controlled warriors also use more advanced tactics. An example given by the creator himself in a short description of the mod is that during a siege, they use ladders to climb walls.

The full list of changes and news can make you dizzy. Just like the number of options available to players – many modules and settings can be activated or deactivated at will. It's a pity that most of the mods that the author recommends to combine with Realistic Battle Mod are outdated and will not work with latest version, unlike the presented modification, with new versions of Bannerlord.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

If the game starts returning to desktop after installing the mod, Unblock Dlls may solve the problem.
