DIPLADO (DIPLomacy desperADO)

Yet another clone of the Diplomacy Mod for Mount and Blade - Warband.

SOURCE

Forked from 1.174 Updates. Note that the base version has not been released from the author yet (Somebody).

There might be serious issues in this mod, so use at your own risk.

Installation

As described here, make a copy of Modules\Native and name it Diplado or as you wish.

Then download one of the latest release from https://github.com/diegoami/Diplado/releases/ and extract it into said directory.

minimal just contains fixes. master releases contain changes which do not break compatibility with future releases of 4.3+ Steam for 1.174, while develop releases contain features that might end up have incompatible saves with future releases of the base version develop, however, contains more features and life improvements. I advise you choose a develop release.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Multiplayer seems to be broken in many places

FIXES / FEATURES

Some fixes:

• Lords return reliably from exiles
• Constable's menu to sell prisoners from the garrison is shown when there are prisoners in the dungeon
• Patrols' prisoners are put in the dungeon and not into the garrison
• Travellers now keep track of ransom brokers
• The companions' dialog when they are sent on a spy mission to a town owned by the player's kingdom is correct
• Changing minister will not abort a quest you did not start
• Removed menu option to delegate quest, as this does not seem to work
• Exiled ladies do not appear in courts
• The dialog for quest to delivery food shows the right quantity of food

Some additions:

• Can spar with your army in the arena
• No crazy charge in battle of your party (they await your orders)
• Body guards
• Import / Export companions
• Whistle for your horse (key M)
• Taunt your opponents, so that they will attack you (key O)

Also on the development branch

• Option to turn the hold ground command on or off
• Option to assign allied lords to a default control group
• Minimap, troop ratio and kill count in the battle screen, with the option to turn it off

master releases' save files are backwardly compatible, but develop releases may contain more interesting features.
