FAQ

Why can't I edit a wanderer's attributes, perks or cost?

Wanderers in Bannerlord are not true companions like like in in Warband). Instead, they are auto generated from a template and some values are randomized.

Attributes and perk points are assigned randomly based on the combined skill points of the template, while the cost of hiring them is based on the gear they wear.

What are the files in the mod? Why is there a .dll in there?

These are the files generated by the mod:

zzCreatedMod.zip
├── bin/
|   └── Win64_Shipping_Client/
│       └── WandererStringsLoader.dll
├── ModuleData
│   ├── spspecialcharacters_zzcreatedmod.xml
│   ├── wanderer_strings_zzcreatedmod.xml
│   └── xml_attributes_to_be_identified.txt
└── SubModule.xml
  • WandererStringsLoader.dll contains a super simple script for loading the dialogue contained in the wander_strings.xml file. Without it, the wanderers will not have any dialogue when you talk to them in the tavern, but leaving it out will not break anything else. You can find the source code for it here!
  • spspecialcharacters_*.xml contains the character templates for the wanders you created.
  • wanderer_strings_*.xml contains the wanderer's introduction dialogue for when you first meet them in a tavern. Requires the .dll file to load.
  • xml_attributes_to_be_identified.txt simply the xml files with the type of data they contain.
  • SubModule.xml is the module declaration file and is necessary to load the mod at all.

Why does it add 'zz' in front of the file name?

This is done to ensure that the mod is placed below the official modules it depends on, which ensures that it loads later than them.

My wanderers are not in the encyclopedia. Where are they?

  • If you have started a new campaign and are using a mod like Unlimited Wanderers, then the mod probably isn't installed correctly.
  • If you have started a new campaign without an unlimited wanderers mod, then there is a risk that other wanderers were loaded instead of yours.
  • If you haven't started a new campaign then you might need to wait longer in-game until a new set of wanderers are loaded into the game.
  • My wanderers show up in the encyclopedia, but not in the city it says they are in. Where are they?

My wanderers show up in the encyclopedia, but not in the city it says they are in. Where are they?

The location mentioned in the encyclopedia isn't trustworthy, and almost always wrong. If they are in the encyclopedia then they have been loaded into the game, which means that they will show up in a city at some point.
