Mercantilism Mod for Mount & Blade: Warband

Hello and Welcome to the Mercantilism Mod for Warband

As with any large Warband mod, it's advised in the starter to go to Configure -> Video and tick 'Load Textures on Demand'.

The whole Mod is based on Waihtis Diplomacy Mod and Caba'drins Pre-Battle Orders & Deployment, which can be found here.

The goal of this mod is to give the players the possibility to build up a trade empire, with buildable manufactures in the city's, buyable land in the villages, your own caravans and many more.
Cause you need consumers, a population system has been implemented, with 3 classes of people (Worker, Merchant and Rich), with different demands. Every city and village produces it's own goods, based on location and culture.

This is an early version, which was uploaded to make some tests and that's the point where i need your help.

I don't have the time to run the game for multiple in game days (months- years) and test if the economy is stable in the long run, also i changed many thing that could have effect in the long run, like the new campaign ai or the new calculations for automatic battles. So I'm going to ask if you could help me with that. Also yesterday my grapiccard died, was getting to hot... and i cannot afford a new one the next time, so i'm uploading the newest WIP version of the mod, to maybe get some feedback until then The version should be playable with minor bugs, i always try to finish a feature or leave a placeholder, but nothing that will crash your game or ruin the savegame. If you find a bug or something suspicious, please report it, this will help me a lot.

In this mod the political system got some additions and changes to give you more options, like exchaning troops and fiefs, to bribe and harm or even convert yours and other lords and ladys. A new system to simulate a character for the NPCs got written, now some hate or love you and each other from the beginning of the game. Your actions will change how they see you and how they react towards you. There character also influences theyr behavior.

To create more immersion many smaller features have been added, like named npcs, hunting and many other. In the citys you will find a new set of NPCs, the city council, that give you more ways of interacting with a city. Also the taverns are now full of new NPCs, new companions and mercs, new traders and some shady persons, that will allow you to do more infame actions.

The trooptrees got fully redone, new mercenary troops got created and every religion got a spezial trooptree.

A complete list of the features created by me can be found here: Link

  All added features are more or less functional and the latest version from the forums and other sources, so this is a fully playable mod. Some of the menu's have some unsorted new options that maybe lock ugly, but are functional too.
