'GiveMeArmy' adds a new command line to the developer console that reads a user-written text file to import troops into your army many at a time instead of doing it one by one. This file may be written by hand or generated by a web mini-app (included).
The mini-app includes the following factions:
- Imperial
- Sturgia
- Vlandia
- Battania
- Khuzait
- Aserai
- Mercenaries and other small groups
- Bandits
Requirements
Please download and install the DEVELOPER CONSOLE.
Webapp has been tested on Chrome, Brave and Mozilla browsers. IE and Edge are currently not supported.
Installation & Usage
- Extract the 'GiveMeArmy' folder in the 'Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules' folder.
- You need a text file with your troop information to be imported into the game, there are 2 options:
Use the app, located inside the 'webapp' folder, and open 'OPENTHIS.html' in your favorite browser, it should be straightforward from there.
OR
Create a .txt file by hand, indicating the unit's ID and the number you want. The format is simple. For example:

This will add 4 Imperial Recruits and 6 Sturgian Recruits into your army. Just remember to not have unnecessary spaces or empty lines and you should be ok. - Name this file 'mynewtroops.txt' and copy it inside Bannerlord's MyDocuments folder, by default:
'C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord'.
- Start the game and open the developer console.
- Enable cheats using '
config.cheat_mode 1
'.- Write in '
campaign.give_me_army
', it should tell you if everything went ok or if problems were found.- Take note that army changes don't reflect immediately, so you might need to refresh your party window to see the new units. Also take note that you can change the text file without the need to turn the game off.
FAQ
Why didn't you make a UI in the game instead of command lines and text files?
Because I'm dumb. Couldn't even figure out how to make a button.
When will <faction name> be added to the webapp?
When I get to it. Shouldn't take very long.
I want to write the txt myself, but I don't know the unit's ID. What do I do?

What's with the units marked with (!) ?Those are units that don't belong in any Tier, and in some cases behave as companions, but I added them anyway for completeness sake.
