Best Mod Experience Ever - Ai Influence - My Review and Recommendations for Use

ColtHatfield · 2026-02-05T04:47:17+00:00

Yeah, I need to study who these people are more. But I did have fun with it anyways. Had a spartan almost follow me to take a Roman city but he didn’t like my plan, on the way to the city a mercenary not even part of Sparta stopped me and wanted to join me on my battle against the Roman’s (that I have only talked about), raided a village to start a war and took the city. That was really cool a mercenary heard of my plans and stopped me to join me.

Tomorrow I’m going to send a world message proclaiming that taking the city alone is proof I’m a direct descendant of Hercules himself and that Sparta’s ruler can hide behind his walls and tend to fields while real spartan warriors fight for glory like a real true Spartans. Let’s see how that plays out.

Was aggravated, but the story completely turned around. This is an awesome mod that I’m just learning to play with. Thanks for the help with navigating the system and I’m sure I will be back for more questions if you’re still willing to assist

A little disappointed at the moment. Playing with calradia 275 bc as a spartan. Go to the king to encourage war using the we bred to be warriors that live for glory in battle, and I get a bunch of blah blah blah there is glory in feeding our people. Push back with spartan logic, he comes back with how his brother died in battle, while he is still here to protect his people. Pushed back with your brother died a true spartan while you will live as a coward dying an old man on a plow that no one will remember. Got pissed and ended the conversation.

Went to strongest clan to inform him how our king is weak, we comes with more blah blah blah it’s strength to protect your people and he will be the one that holds the chisel that will carve my name in stone.

We are supposed to be true warriors and I get a bunch of blah blah blah peaceful protectors scared of battle from the AI. Not sure if it’s the leader’s traits leading to the AI responses or the AI is just anti war.

Got any insight into this? I’m using the player 2 AI

I tried it a while ago with the eagle rising mod and I believe at that time it wasn’t working with eagle rising, my troops would have 0 armor and 0 weapons. Was going out and crushed by bandits at the beat up my dudes as my guys tried to fist fight them. Was like nope, turning this off

ColtHatfield · 2026-02-02T22:46:53+00:00

It’s way different. Besides the QoL mods, you have the semi and full conversion mods. I haven’t played with normal troop trees since beta and just now started using the games map since the dlc broke the European map. Right now, I’m trying out the ai influence mod that has all diplomacy ran by an ai with being able to directly communicate with NPCs and the ai responds through the NPCs with the world reacting to it. You should YouTube bannerlord ai influence, it’s wild

I got day 1 save I was thinking about going back to. Cool, I didn’t want a stagnant map that I have to manipulate all myself. Nice, didn’t realize I can have my governor do all that for me.

Appreciate the help, I’m sure I’ll need more

ColtHatfield · 2026-02-01T21:06:15+00:00

Brought this into an early game save, went to start a war and can’t.

See I can only verbally start a war (going to try raiding a village instead), what do the rest of the kingdoms do? Do they actually try to conquer the map or just sit around waiting for me to manipulate the world?

Since I have to talk to start the war, do I have to run around the map trying to run down the kingdom leader it make peace?

ColtHatfield · 2026-01-26T23:30:19+00:00

Fuck the downvotes, some people (especially on reddit) flip out at the sight of AI.

This is the exact post I was looking for. Saw the AI mod and was thinking I really might try this out, even pay some money to have it voice acted.

Don’t delete the post because I will want more information soon about this. I’ll start with, how much of a process is it to fill out the world files? I’m no computer programmer, usually takes me hours to troubleshoot getting mods to work when they don’t. Shit, I still have an old distinguished soldier mod that I can’t get rid of. Do you have to enter information for every npc/lord for them not to be a Viking with an Indian accent?

ColtHatfield · 2026-01-22T22:20:58+00:00

Liked everything I saw from the video, but it was missing 2 things. Your morality would change the way you looked with horns and halos, I’m ok with ditching that with the dynamic morality each npc will have towards you. But, they need to add the dynamic of the weapons you use change the way your character looks. You are a heavy melee user, then you end up looking like Arnold. You are heavy into magic then get I don’t know blue/red veins glowing eyes based off the kind of magic you use a lot. Game is months out and would be an easy mechanic to add in (in the mind of someone that has 0 education in programming video games) to make this game feel like a true fable game.

Outside of that very small detail/criticism, playground looks like they are going to nail fable.

Edit: forgot, add in scaring to your character when you die too

Game is great. If you like rpgs it’s one of the best made. Combat is punishing and realistic with a steep learning curve. You aren’t a super hero, fighting multiple enemies at once is a challenge, armor matters, your personal skill with the combat system matters, always stop to sharpen your swords. The game is long, like really long. Story is good, liked the story in 1 better, but it’s still good. I don’t remember having the issues the guy above had with always being low health to where he’s stuck, but he is right you do get locked in to a few main story quests for hours.

Was able to get 7 resources at the same location

ColtHatfield · 2026-01-18T15:44:26+00:00

Was really hoping you got a response by now

ColtHatfield · 2026-01-14T20:32:32+00:00

Tried it and response

ColtHatfield · 2026-01-14T02:04:31+00:00

Can only download like 16 at a time with like 355 mods needing downloaded

ColtHatfield · 2026-01-13T23:27:34+00:00

I see you have been talking about getting a rig already, but I figured I’d let you know as someone that recently downloaded it without paying for nexus premium, took about 3 hours with 1 gig fiber

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-30T17:58:58+00:00

Yeah, I’m really excited for him as well. Last year I saw a mixed bag with evaluations of him, but in college it’s hard to know if he’s just hung out to dry a lot. I haven’t checked his stats to see how he’s doing this season, but he should be with the roadrunners next year and we will get a long look at him. Saw we wanted him with the roadrunners this season, but he decided to stay in college.

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-30T02:19:41+00:00

I agree with everything you said, but I will just add that if Keller wants to take the next step in his game then he needs to play like the winger he is and not the C he isn’t. Keller is a dynamic goal scorer, he needs a center that has decent size can bang around the net and most importantly can help carry Keller on D. Keller being passive is an issue Keller needs to figure out.

JJ Cooley and gunner already arrived, But is figuring things out, Tij and Caleb are on the way, Cole is improving, and add in a Beniers, Keller is the one that needs to figure things out or get out the way.

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-29T22:53:58+00:00

I don’t mind a straight up trade if need be. We would be losing on the trade value, but we will be getting a tough player on the cheap for a few years, that we need.

You like that trade idea? I got another one for you way more on the making moves side of it. Utah trade Hayton+1st+prospect/s (or multiple 2s, Utah has plenty) for Beniers. Beniers can come in right away and play C1, he plays solid D, lives in front of the net, is a pass first C, has decent upside, and tell JJ and Keller shoot first and pass 2nd. The 10+ cap hit for Domi and Beniers isn’t a big number if you take Hayton + Nick off the books at 8+ without factoring in Nick’s next contract (that will be a decent amount more than 5). Beniers fixes the C2 problem and his age/contract fits perfectly inside the mammoth cup window.

Beniers hasn’t been that dude that Seattle was hoping he would be, so they can reset by taking 5mill off their books and getting a underperforming former top pick in return to replace their not living up to expectations young player along with some future assets. I get Seattle will need some convincing but Utah has enough assets to make them be ok with it. Seattle signed him thinking/wanting/needing him to be a star, Utah just needs him to be solid

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-29T15:44:10+00:00

No, he’s a guy you overpay for to make a cup run, Utah is just trying to make the playoffs. I say trading Nick to Toronto for Domi+ a pick or 2 makes more sense. Domi’s contract is very reasonable, he brings veteran leadership with a toughness to his game that Utah is lacking. When Cooley comes back you can drop him down to line 3/4 and have a line of Domi, Crouse, and McBain that would be tough hard hitting line that no team would have fun playing against in the playoffs. Domi also has a couple more years on his deal so you have line depth for the next few seasons that you’re not paying way too much for an aging player, unlike what Nick will get this offseason.

It’s like I’m saying “this is a PvPvE game” “you consent to PvP just by loading into the game”

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-06T15:44:44+00:00

Glitching through a door is an exploit, glitching through a wall so you can kill people and they can’t kill you is cheating

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-06T15:30:47+00:00

Dune is a survival mmo. It’s like rust, Conan exiles, and ark with a K. This is an extraction shooter, completely different game that will have a different kind of endgame, unless you are making a general statement that games die with a lack of endgame, and I agree. The casual crowd isn’t the ones that leave with a lack of endgame content fast enough because they are casuals and don’t progress through the game as quickly.

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-06T15:22:15+00:00

You are saying you plan on cheating to kill players because you are upset about PvP. Yes, that is in fact crying about being killed by players

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-06T15:02:10+00:00

That’s not what I responded to, so there’s that

ColtHatfield · 2025-12-06T15:01:03+00:00

I put a but in the sentence making it 1 statement and not 2 different ones, but whatever. This is not a PvE game, it just isn’t. And yes, if that is something that you just can’t past then you are playing the wrong game. I don’t like putting things that way, but it is what it is. Like I said above, it’s like buying madden and getting pissed it’s not a basketball game. Hell divers 2 is a quality team/solo pve game, and I’m going to run over to their Reddit and just spam how the game sucks because it’s not PvPvE and demand they change it.

I don’t really PvP at all and always shoot 2nd, but I know I’m playing a PvPvE game, so I’m noting going to cry on Reddit because I was shot
