Added a "Max Recruitment" option. When enabled in the MCM configuration menu, villages and towns will be fully stocked with recruitable soldiers for the player.
Update on May 2, 2025
Fixed an issue where identical equipment could not be added, and optimized the display for equipment editing.
Resolved a problem in ROT where newly created soldiers were rejected by the ROT mod and could not be saved (now compatible with ROT; note that ROT cannot be modified to include races such as skeletons or elves).
Added display of civilian equipment for soldiers, with the option to delete civilian equipment.
Modified soldier type settings to save instantly upon closing the window, eliminating the need to save the game separately.
Added functionality to import soldier trees from other mods (supports importing soldiers with custom soldier trees).
Recruitment settings now allow random generation of soldiers from a soldier tree (configurable via the MCM menu).
Update on April 26, 2025
Fixed the village/town menu recruitment setting that only spawned the highest-tier soldiers; now spawns the lowest-tier soldiers. Recruitment settings are more flexible, allowing selection of soldier trees and modification of the original soldier trees.
Fixed an error caused by setting upgrade items to empty.
Resolved an issue where adding new combat equipment incorrectly prompted that identical equipment could not be added.
Fixed an error where modifying other equipment sets would redirect to the first equipment set.
Added a button to delete all other equipment sets (useful for cases with a large number of soldier equipment sets).
Optimized the display of modified original soldier trees, no longer showing the original expansion but instead displaying various modified original soldier trees to assist players in creating soldier overhaul mods.
Added automatic XML detection functionality; custom soldier trees or XML files from MiniWarband can be placed in the troops folder of the soldier editor, and custom soldier trees or MiniWarband soldiers will be automatically detected.
I need the update, i started an amazing campaign, made a really good troop tree, and after a couple of battles my game started crashing in combat. I really hope it updates quickly because it has great potential, the best thing is how you can fix all the base game troops.
IF I don't enable any of options in mcm will AI recruit them ? will show the custom troops I made by this mod will show in any town/village ? they only show to me ?
Hey when creating a Giant Troop, the model blocks the buttons preventing me from editing the name, additionally when i accidentally clicked edit appearance and pressed 'esc' to exit the game crashed.
Still evaluating, but here goes my current assessment:
Pros: Modder is still active, so it's more likely that -- if a future base game update breaks something -- it can get fixed. A bit more stable. You can adjust the look of the "model" troop (so if you want every soldier in the troop tree to be a redhead with green eyes, you can set it that way). You can have a wider split of troop trees (up to four upgrade options per branch per tier) There is a search bar when selecting equipment. You can type in the number for each stat, rather than have to click the button once for each stat point increase (which got ridiculous at top tiers in MLW; you practically need an autoclicker on tier six troops). This is the biggest advantage, in my opinion.
Cons: No equipment filters for tier, culture, etc. It's not clear on what tier each stop on the troop tree is (he does it by "level" and not by "tier," which isn't as user-friendly. Also, as the first troop you create defaults to "level one" (which is tier zero, thus the "Peasant" level tier), and there is no natural way to get peasant tier to spawn, you will never be able to access the first tier of your character unless you change the level from the default setting... and since he upgrades by "level" and not by "tier," it isn't inherently obvious what level you need to set it at for it to spawn. Starting a play run from scratch is a touch harder, as no villages will generate troops of any kind until you both set the settings in the mod options tab, and then go to a town and adjust some additional settings in the troop editor menu, and THEN actually create your own troop tree. It doesn't appear to "clean" itself very well between games -- I tried re-setting troop trees with a new game, but the ones I'd generated in a previous game were still present; they just weren't spawning. There's a button that's supposed to fix that, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Then again, MLW tends to lose certain elements of the troops between each game, if you wanted to use the same set of troops in different games so... six of one, half a dozen of the other?
YMMV: There are no default limitations in the various tiers, unlike in MLW. These could be turned off in MLW, but they gave a bit of a "baseline" to keep you from making each tier of troop too powerful. You have to manually set it if you want to limit your play by requiring a horse when promoting a footsoldier to a mounted troop (or promoting a mounted troop to a mounted-on-warhorse troop).
Edit: And something I'm still uncertain about: I think the tooltips on certain things (such as horses) don't show the same statistical numbers as you see when looking at those same items in inventories or shops. But that might just be my imagination -- I'll have to write down the numbers I think are different to compare. Whether this is "as intended" (does it matter, for troops, if they've got a "mount" tier Battanian Hobby Horse or a "mount" tier Midlands Palfrey horse, or does that only matter for characters and companions?), a bug, or is just my imagination, or what, I'm not sure.
Thanks for such a detailed anlysis - thinking of getting of back into bannerlord so that was very helpful. Personally the lack of filter options means i think i'll stick with MLWB then, since searching through open source armory and vanilla unfilited would drive me insane.

I could be misremembering since it's been a year since i played, but in My Little Warband i think you could just shift click on a skill to add 100 points or max, and ctrl click for 10 points? You may have cookie-clickered yourself to madness in vain!
My Little Warband was more stable for me, while it has it's limitation, everything works perfectly although it's still lack of customization in terms of troop's appearances. on the other hand, this mod is very flexible yet i still haven't figured out how to make the Clan AI Parties to recruit the customized troops.

You can allocate points in MLW using shift and ctrl to allocate all points or intervals of 5

what are Pros and Cons of this vs My Little Warband?

how did you customize militia for instance?
MLW : have faction and tier filters
T.E : have search bar
Do note that I only use MLW to create equipment sets that I cut and paste into troop xml files, for use with ATC.
Also want to state that the author for MLW is still active.
