Iron Will - Wound Experience
With inspirations from Kenshi, this true "survival of the fittest" experience makes your troop battle hardened by just the simple fact of not dying after a possible fatal blow.
This decreases the grind for upgrading low tier troops and actually rewards the player for letting his weak troopos risk their lives by fighting in battle. It also indirectly buffs Medicine skill, by making it kinda useful to upgrade troops.
The mod works not only for the player, but for any mobile NPC parties too! That's right, even for the poor and dirty Looters! It only show as a message for the player character, his companions and owned troops by default.
This mod is compatible with the amazing Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) by Aragasas. This is a SOFT dependency and thus entirely optional but highly recommended.

To-do
The mod is pretty much done :D
There might be some minor tweaks/bug fixes here and there in the future.
Custom Configurations
Downloading Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) by Aragasas is highly recommended for best quality of life by changing mod settings in game. This is a SOFT dependency and thus entirely optional by the player. MCM settings takes priority before the XML settings file. So if the player haves MCM, the code will load stored info from MCM and then override XML file on startup every time.
However, if you choose to not install Mod Configuration Menu for some reason, you can change the desired values of "xxWoundXPSettings.xml ". In this case during startup, the settings loads from the XML at "\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\xxWoundXp\xxWoundXPSettings.xml".
Compatibility
Currently tested and working with e1.5.2 version. This mod rarely breaks, so try it out!
If you have any issue, please adress it at the Bugs tab in the Nexus mod page.
