Warband Enhanced is my first attempt to improve the gameplay in Warband Native with the help of the best mods made by this community and also with the implementation of new features and gameplay tweaks made by me. At first, i started to make the mod for my own personal use and then i delved into module files and started to play around and thinking of making a public release.

Main Features: 

  • Diplomacy gives you clear stats on your relation with the lords and their relation to their kings. On top of that it helps you manage the castles, fiefs or kingdom much easily with the help of advisors and wife. 
  • PBOD it simply fixes the battles with AI Lords, due to addition of formations and improved battle AI. Along with this comes special formation for players troops, and new additions like spear bracing, horse lance, companions as bodyguards and more. 
  • Freelancer allows you to enlist into a lord army alone and rise in ranks from recruit to knight(based on the faction troop tree), gain good loot from battles, money and relation with the faction and the lord. You can also keep the last equipment if you stayed long enough in service (45 days at the moment). 
  • Improved Recruit System:  A new recruitment system is now in place. As lord without a faction you can only recruit peasants which belong to the mercenary troop tree. As you join a faction after3 days you can recruit the faction troops from villages, but from
    other factions you will only be able to recruit peasants. Every new villages you conquer will have your faction troops and not the old faction troops.
  • To balance the game, the upgrade price for each unit has been increased by 4 times in some cases. Luckily, a visual troop tree is in place with upgrade prices for you to decide what to upgrade and when: Reports  > View Troop Tree.
     You can disable this by goin to camp > diplomacy preferences > disable high upgrade costs.  
  • Your first step as a king of your newly found kingdom is to choose a culture. You do that by hiring and talking with the Chancellor, Domestic Policy > Kingdom's culture. You will have your starting faction in the list or more, if you recruited  noble companions that came from different nations and made them lords. After choosing the culture, lords, villages and kingdoms reinforcements will switch to that culture. On some will be instantly like reinforcements, on villages it takes 1-3 days, and on Lords it takes time if they already have an army. Favoring no culture will make your villages only have farmers as recruits, which is on by default until you choose a culture. 
  • Improved Graphics and Sound: improved texture, particles and sound effects. 
  • Color Coded Messages: important messages have now a special color, very useful when in a faction. 
  • Kill Count: at the end of the battle scroll down and see a kill count for you and you companions
  • Improved Looting System: get better loot due to an increase in loot search to 96 items. 
  • Troops Tree and View All Items Menus: view all troops tree, equipment and wages (reports > troop tree)
  • Have your wife join as companion: You wife can accompany you as companion while still serving as a minister, you can also change her clothes while in castle or in party. 
  • Can move while raiding or siege and access inventory
  • Store and Sort Troops Garrison in Villages/Castles and Towns

Since many of you seem to have problems on how to install this mod to work properly, i figured out i should make a news item to talk about.

1) This mod is for Warband 1.143. You need to download the official client here, and install it. If you have another version of the game,  please download this version and install it in another folder. This is because it will fix the registry and it will make WSE Loader work. 

2) For those that bought the game from other place than the official site, you should be able to play this mod with the client downloaded and installed from here (same link as above), and use your cd key.

3) After you reinstalled 1.143 to another folder use this installation folder for this mod.

  • Extract the folder Warband Enhanced to your Modules directory (overwrite all if you already have an older version) 
  • Go to WSE folder in the Warband Enhanced directory, launch wse_loader.exe, select Warband Enhanced from the list and play.
  • MOD OPTIONS for PBOD : CAMP > PBOD Mod Preferences 
  • MOD OPTIONS for Diplomacy: CAMP > Diplomacy Preferences

Why should you should reinstall this if you have another version of warband?  Because wse-loader looks for the current registry record and it wont detect 1.143 warband and the game wont work properly.
 
ALWAYS RUN the game from WSE_Loader.EXE in the Modules/Warband Enhanced/WSE directory

90% of the bugs and problems reported  here are because:

1) You didnt used 1.143 client, or u have 1.143 client, but you also have another version installed, and WSE Loader cant see 1.143
2) You didnt ran the game with WSE_Loader.EXE

Hope it helps!

Have fun!

Hello... I know this question and problem has been addressed and run into many times according to this forum. I am getting the script error whre the words disappear for battles and the worldmap. I have followed your instructions and uninstalled everything, did a clean install, made sure I was running the 43 update, and tried to run it from the folder you directed us to to make it work but it tell me "you are running an unnsupported version and this mod only works with the 1.143 version"...... that is the version i am running. It will only work by loading it through the usual screen but this one makes the scripst promply fail upon entering the world map. Any help? Did I miss something simple? I apologize for the repeat problem but i did read every single post before this and I am still having no luck.

It -really- does enhance the game, it's worth the try.

Just two or three issues (sorry) you really need to address for next patch / version:

- the in-battle feedback got disabled
Somehow the game does no longer give you any feedback about losses, hits and such.

- the campaign map feedback gets disabled after battle
Related to the first bug.

- memory leak
That's a tricky one: somehow you managed to apply a memory leak to the game which may be caused by one of the mods you used - or a certain combination.
The game may crash if you run out of memory.
I think it could be related to the Freelancer mod.

One last question: since I can see the equipment of my (non-hero) troops, does it mean I can change it? ;)

Been playing this mod for a few weeks now, this is a great improvement to the game. Previously I had only used PBOD.
Anyway, thank you for putting this mod together.

Looks like someone finally REALLY enhanced the game instead of adding cool features AND removing the good parts. Feels like every other modder ***** the game UP by making it even more of a grinding game. Downloading!

Lowest Rated (6 agree) 5/10

Problem with mod right out of the gate. During a battle, the show damage and troop death/unconciousness option doesn't work. I really like that feature that native and other mods retain. However, the textures are great and the way the other features are tied together, if they work,would really make this a Mount & Blade 2 for me. Fix that problem and I'll play this mod until M&B 2 comes out. By the way, if there is a way to fix the problem I would really appreciate some feedback. PM me if…
