I used both realistic battle and noble troops mod together and these mixing made noble troop's arhcery too strong ( Dealt 300~400dmg for an arrow ). I do like the overall concept of realistic battle but it changes projectile dmg system so that made every bolt and arrow flying too slow and made imbalance when I added another mod with has ranged weapon such as noble troop mod.
Because of that situation, I decided to use another mod and I saw most of mods try to nerf both bow and crossbow together.
We all know crossbow are much weaker than bow in Bannerlord. I don't like it even if it's based on reality.
I love crossbow so I made this little mod to make crossbows' own strength.
I'm also gonna playing my mod with some armor balance tweak mod to make balance between my crossbow and other.
[size=3] What I do
[/size]
[size=3] - First of all, I changed bows dmg type from 'pierce' to 'cut' cuz vanila bows are too strong even enemy is wearing a heavy armor[/size]
[size=3] - Increased overall crossbow's dmg, [/size]
and I divided existing crossbows into 3 types.
1. Regular - normal missile speed and dmg
2. Heavy - low missile speed but much higher dmg than other. bonus against shield
3. Light - fastest missile speed but lower dmg than other. can reload on horse without perk.
[size=3] - Make difference between bolts[/size]
1. Regular - 20rounds. basic bolt with average dmg, projectile speed
2. Heavy - 14rounds. gives additional dmg the most. but lowest additional projectile speed. bonus against shield.
3. Light - 24rounds. no additional dmg but fastest bolt and can carry a lot.
4. Compound - 19rounds. stronger than regular and bonus against shield.
5. Piercing bolt - only 10rounds. but it can penetrates multiple enemy.
[size=3]
- New top tier crossbows and bows[/size]
1. Zenian Crossbow - crossbow for zenian crossbowman in noble troop mod. I edited it stronger and faster
2. Repeating Crossbow - Semi-Auto 8rounds crossbow for Vlandian new troop. it has low missile speed and dmg but effective on light armored enemy with high dps.
3. Scout Crossbow - Semi-Auto 2rounds crossbow for Imperial new troop. average dmg, misslile speed and accuracy with 2rounds crossbow. It suits for cavalry.
4. bows in noble troops mod
You can get those bows and crossbows via cheat and edit.
You also can get them through tournament(in that case u need TournamentXpanded mod)
[size=3] - New troop tree[/size]
1. Hardened crossbowman [b]- [/b][u]Vlandian Skirmisher - Vlandian Storm Troop[/u]
- Vlandian Sharpshooter - Vlandian Zenian Crossbowman(originated from N.T mod)
2. Imperial crossbowman - Sergeant crossbowman - Imperial Armored crossbowman(originated from N.T mod)
- [u]Mounted crossbowman - Imperial Scout Ranger[/u]
[size=3] Compatibility
[/size] - I started to make this mod from Noble Troop Mod so it's 100% compatible with that mod. (but put my mod under the Noble troop mod just in case)
- It's compatible with most mods cuz I didn't change any mechanism or system.
but if you have another mod that add troop or tree, it could be incompatible.
[size=3][b] Troubleshooting[/b][/size]
[u][i] If you just want to change bow and crossbow without any additional troop, go to my mod folder and change spnpccharacter.xml to .txt or delete it. it deactivates troop tweak.[/i][/u]
