Does anyone have a list, or know where to find a list of all the New Personality traits added in the mod? (Traits like Career officer, Cautious, Reckless, new ones like Meticulous, and Caring leader, etc.)

I'm asking because there used to be a really good trait called "Decisive" or something like that or the other, only found in the mod, only on one of the CCP's Generals. It sped up Planning Speed by 50% or something but now i can't find it and honestly can't rightfully remember its name.

i want to use Console Commands to add the trait to one of my generals but i'd need the name of the trait for it to work. anyone know? does anyone know a path i can follow to look in R56's files and try to find it? i'm new to computers in general.

The USA and Britain Adopted a more Anti-Colonial Stance During the Cold War, yet the USA was willing to turn a blind eye to more authoritarian and repressive regimes if they opposed communism, particularly in South America.

Rhodesia, Though repressive and authoritarian, was also anti-communist, and it was no secret that Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabwean insurgents were Aligned with the Communists, as well as the Support Zimbabwean Insurgents received from both China and the Soviet Union.

Why was Rhodesia treated differently? The USA is happy to Help other repressive regimes that thwart the communist’s interests, yet still remained steadfastly opposed to Rhodesia alongside Britain.

Can any drivers help rationalize why a driver would accept my request for a ride, drive towards me for a couple minutes, then cancel?

I ordered this uber at 10:00 to take me 15 minutes from my house, and now it’s 10:45 and I’m on my 3rd driver who’s on his way because two others have cancelled. I HAD SOMEWHERE TO BE AT 11:00! Now I’m likely to be late because it took nearly an hour for someone to even show up!

I try to be understanding but I just don’t know the rationale behind that kind of thing

In Afro Samurai’s Universe, the number 1 and number 2 headbands have captured the fixation of people all over the lands Afro lives in.

However it’s never directly explained if the Headbands are actually special in any way besides proving that you’re the best.

In the first season/movie of the series, Justice says the headbands \*are\* magical and give him the powers of a god. He claims that by collecting number 2 headbands from anyone who challenges him over the years, he grows more powerful, as long as he’s vegetating in that “Holy place” he likes so much. He also claims Rokutaru (Afro’s Father) also believed this, but instead tried to conceal the truth by hiding in the mountains.

The Cult that pursued Afro also claimed the number 1 headband gave Godlike Power, although they were pretty weird. But still, maybe they know a thing or two.

Sounds fishy, but Justice obviously has some form of Godlike power, surviving for so long, and obviously, getting decapitated and laughing about it. And also his clear use of superpowers summoning large spikes out the ground to kill challengers.

Afro would get the headband from Justice, and go into Seclusion, rather than pondering on the nature of the headbands, and so we never see him do anything with this power Justice Claimed the headbands possessed.

Now MAYBE the Number 1 headband has something magical going on. But what about the number 2?

Nothing is clearly explained about the number 2 either. Shichigoro (Number 2 in Resurrection) Cynically claims that it’s just a piece of cloth. He might be right.

However, Afro’s Sword-master says something that I might be looking too deeply at. He says the number 2 only inspires violent insanity in everyone who wants the power of the number 1 headband.

Now I know this whole series is just a metaphor for the cycle of violence, and maybe this is more just a comment on how insane the cycle is. But…

Maybe this is also a literal statement as well. Maybe the Number 2 is actually cursed to inspire An almost Hypnotic Surge of Violent passion. Think on all who’ve learned of the number 2 headband.

Shichigoro’s son doesn’t mourn his father in a normal way, instead following Afro for Hundreds of miles trying to kill him. The dozens of people who fanatically try to kill Afro, pursuing him for years for revenge. The violent insanity that pushed Jinno’s Sister (can’t remember her name lol) to her Sadistic Bloodlust. Maybe even the Hate that Afro could never let go of for Justice, That he ended up getting his entire Sword Dojo killed, even killing his master that raised him from a boy.

It’s a show, it’s gonna be dramatic, but at a certain point, maybe the number 2 does have an unnatural effect on the worst tendencies of otherwise somewhat normal people.

It’s not explained in the lore. This is just my theory, and my interpretation of the series. I’m not saying the Hatred Afro Felt was unnatural and unwarranted, but he was so pained by his actions to get the number 2 that he went crazy (Hallucinating Ninja Ninja) that you’d think he would’ve thought twice about his actions before he got the headband.

Even after the first movie he secluded himself to meditate on this destructive cycle and remove himself from the violence. Then as soon as he loses the number 1 headband and wants it back, without a second thought he’s back to killing teams of people without remorse, all those years of reflection down the drain, back to the cycle of hate.

Even Afro’s Father. An android. Still desires the headbands. And once his father takes hold of the number 1, and Afro comes back to life, all this obsessive self destructive love for his father leaves his body, and he fights and kills his father without a second thought.

I’m not claiming any of this is canon, it’s just how I interpreted it. It’s a metaphor, but at the same time, I believe the headbands do have an unnatural effect on the mind, and makes people give in to violence more readily.

As the title says, has anyone tried the NPC overhaul? it’s a new creation club mod, which I usually don’t bother with, but this one sounded interesting.

I don’t wanna sound like a paid advertiser so I won’t go into deep detail about it, but it’s a Enemy Overhaul mod that makes enemies more difficult and varied the randomness of encounters

It’s 5 bucks but is it worth it? I always love mods that make the game fresher, harder, and more engaging, but my go to has always been wildcat and a few mods that add small things like enemies using potions or some bandits spawning with spells, etc.

Has anyone tried it, and if so, how is it? Is it too much? Hardly noticeable? Rendered obsolete by better and free mods? Don’t wanna spend my money then feel like a dunce :(

One advantage for it I think, is that is covers more enemies. I can always download a Mage enemy overhaul, Draugr overhaul, or Bandit overhaul, etc. but those stack up and become too much after awhile as separate mods, it’d be good to have one that does it at a foundational level for all enemies.

As per the flair for the post, in case you missed it, I’m on Xbox. If there’s a hip, fresh, and cool kids version of a mod like this on PC, that’s way better and way more free, I can’t get it

as said in title, these are two behemoths regarding all-in-one graphic mods. Skyland is newer, so I assumed it's better, but Graphics Pack is still the Most popular Graphics overhaul on console.

I hate hate hate hate going back and forth downloading mods and uninstalling them again and again and want to do my homework before starting a new modded playthrough. I cleaned house and did the misery inducing Bethesda net purge and don't want to download anything but the best, and most stable.

unrelated: any advice regarding lighting mods would help a ton! had a whole saga regarding trying to get Lux and Lux Orbis to work and am traumatized looking for patches!

I got an injury when I was 16, hyperextended Knee falling off a ladder.

Was out of crutches by 17, some months later.

Never got surgery, just went from limping with a brace to Walking slowly with a compression Sleeve, to walking normally on my own, occasionally getting knee pain.

Now I’m 23. The injury hardly bothers me, unless I workout and land on my leg wrong, or hurt my leg. Then my knee feels like SHIT for a couple hours, maybe days. Most days I forget anything ever happened to my leg unless I start acting especially weird with it.

But now I’m trying to join the military. Have to get surgery.

As far as I can tell my injury can’t be that bad? I assumed I might need to just strengthen my knee. Surely it’d heal after 7, almost 8 years?

I’m meant to get an MRI, but I’ll be paying for that out of pocket. I can’t keep up with these bills if I have to get surgery so I’ll be a getting medical insurance for the first time too.

And it’s all just overwhelming. So much to do, so much money to spend.

Where do I start? Do I get a consultation first before I get an MRI, to determine if I even NEED an MRI? Do I get insurance first to cover everything Just in case? What insurers cover these kinds of things the best? Is there anything from now, to my potential reconstruction surgery that I should know, so I’m not blindsided later? Any help or guidance from people who’ve gone through this process before helps alot!

I’m trying to go to the military, but need to get my ACL reconstructed. Gonna be about 15k and so I’ll need insurance to cover most of that

However I’m seeing policies online claiming that an insurance company won’t cover a procedure unless it’s medically necessary.

So before I end up going on the tiresome search for reasonable quotes, is an ACL reconstruction even considered something health insurance would cover? Is it a matter of pulling teeth? Will they only cover it if I absolutely need it, rather than just because I “want” to join the military?

Very Late, I Know, the change has settled and cooled by now

But i still miss the glory Days of the Chinese Grand Marshal :(

This Had to be the single most powerful council position in the game, in any empire, period. and for one simple reason: Grand Campaigns.

now when the AUH update dropped The GC was shit, only creating tributaries and glitching out the ass. then they fixed it, but i feel like it was too late, and i feel like no one appreciated how powerful it became.

if you Independently funded a Campaign, you could get an ass-ton of influence (You'd receive 1k Influence for each contribution, each campaign had at least 3 Contributions) which would help you reach imperious level after about 4 or 5 campaigns, and you'd get 100 movement power for each.

and an even better tidbit. the Campaigns Have NO COOLDOWN. if you've got the prestige and Treasury to support it, you can easily conquer entire empires.

influence becomes no object. you can fund a campaign then use influence to get fellow vassals to fight it With/For you, and your liege basically falls in love with you and will give you all the salary and treasury funding you could want and need. speaking of your liege falling in love with you, as a grand Marshal, it's no difficulty at all reaching max influence and receiving the Ministry honors that comes with it (and the Massive Salary and perks that comes with Honors bestowals).

The Changes made it to where the Grand Marshal can only fund the First Conquest and has to request other vassals to fund the other ones.

still a powerful position thanks to the No cooldown Campaigns, but they're just too expensive to start(in terms of prestige), with not enough PERSONAL reward to justify starting too many of them.

i don't think enough people care about China, but if the Grand Marshal has no fans, then I'm dead :(

I played about 3 or 4 Playthroughs with Bannerlord until I downloaded mods. Then played about 2 more, then deleted it.

Then war sails came out, I got excited to play it again with the mods I had. Then played about DLC however was said to be broken and a waste of time and money. Bummer.

Figured I’d wait for them to patch things up and for Mods to get updated. I’ve been waiting since then and am now getting the itch to play Bannerlord once again

Is it worth it? Is war sails still buggy and unplayable? Was it ever that bad and I just fell for propaganda? Do the devs still have the habit of constantly updating the game and wrecking all the mods?

Is it worth the abt 1 and a half hour of download time and 25 bucks it’ll cost me to re-experience the game with war sails? Or should I wait a while longer?
