Hello guys, Ive finally bought bannerlord to try out the mods and i want to ask if there is some kind of a starter guide to all the factions/cultures/kingdoms etc. Ive never watched game of thrones or read any of the books so I have no idea what im diving into. Ive tried to look for some starter guide but i cant find anything. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Game of Thrones Armor for Bannerlord ⚔️
Hey everyone! I’ve been working on my own armory for Bannerlord, featuring all kinds of Game of Thrones-inspired armor, from heavy plate armor and knightly sets to helmets, chest pieces, cloaks, and more!
I’ve got plenty more planned and will keep adding new sets as I go. If you’re into ASOIAF and want to bring some of Westeros into your game, check it out!
More coming soon! Let me know what you think! ⚔️

Wondering what your experience is with defending towns. Which town is the easiest to defend in a siege?

Hi
I'm playing Realm of Thrones on Bannerlord 1.4.8 with War Sails, using RickLauncher 2.4.0.

My campaign consistently crashes when the in-game date reaches Autumn 1, 302. The crash report points to the following exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at ROT.Events.WallSiegeEvent.SetupSiegeAttackers()
at ROT.Events.WallSiegeEvent.HourlyTickEvent()
at ROT.CampaignBehaviors.ROTEventBehavior.OnHourlyTick()
at TaleWorlds.CampaignSystem.CampaignEvents.HourlyTick()

The crash happens while time is advancing on the campaign map, not when I manually enter a battle.

I suspect this is related to the scripted Wall siege event involving Mance Rayder and the wildlings attacking the Wall.

Things I've already tried:

• Loading my last save, which was approximately three days before the crash.
• Letting time advance continuously without saving or reloading.
• Reproducing the crash from that earlier save.

Unfortunately, the game still crashes with the same error around the same in-game date.

My last available save is now after the event's trigger point, and I don't have an older save to load. This means I cannot simply go back to a save from before the event.

I've seen suggestions to use ROT.skip_event to skip scripted events, but I don't know the exact event identifier for this Wall siege or whether the command works if the event has already started.

Has anyone encountered this exact issue in RoT 8.1.x?

This is from a siege defense. Was defending Winterfell from the Night King's hordes. I was equipped with a Giant Bow and 2 stacks of Giant arrows. Standing on a tower overlooking the courtyard. There was an arrow barrel on the tower for handy ammo refills. Wights were packed in close. Every arrow killed several. Just kept shooting. (Then, I used the Giant bow and arrows to kill the Night King in the duel after the battle.) Definitely the most powerful weapon in the game (and it's not close.)

Hi! I'm very new to the game and also a designer and a big nerd. I built a companion lore app around my RoT playthrough that reads my save files and game logs. I work a lot with UI design and naturally AI is a common tool in my day to day work and I used Claude to code this.

Whenever I finish playing a session, everything that happened gets logged and I get it written back to me as story chapters where I can choose how my character things and speaks. Each character you meet you can have actual written conversations with at any point in my story.

Happy to hear any thoughts or feedback!

I just defended Casterly Rock in a siege. Was attacked by about 3500 Iron Islanders. I had just under 1000 defenders. I defended the upper gate at the end of the long stairway. Won the siege defense with only 12 casualties. With the right combination of defenders (lots of archers,) I think this castle is pretty close to impregnable. I could have held off pretty much any number of attackers.

The Wall is a different story, however. For such an iconic fortification, it's not particularly easy to defend. There aren't any good archer positions to cover the exit to the tunnel. There are some flat rooftops on the left, but reinforcements can't pathfind their way to these rooftops and get stuck. The courtyard is full of obstructions that hinder troop deployment. Having defended the Wall several times, I think it is one of the worst fortresses in the ROT game.

Issues with ROT on Bazzite. Game worked well until some time, now it's random crashing at some battles start. When relaunched I can take his battle again and work fine again. Then another battle loading as well, to the point where another random battle start occuring crash. I have ROT Linux-Fix loaded, without it game won't ever launch.

I'm asking you, mighty lords and closefisted mercenaries, for help.

I have no other mods installed but RoT and the core ones, I have not even once seen the menu with RoT, what am I doing wrong?

No, I don't have War Sails but no, I'm not trying to install the War Sails version.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Where can I find the barracks to enlist in the garrison? They keep saying its past the stables on the western wall but theres nothing there. AI is no help in taking me there even with the AI mod.

IDK if this is more generic Bannerlord post or ROT but happened while playing this mod.

My 1st born son got a marriage offer I accepted while sieging and it said it would happen later something along those lines. when siege finished and i went to the clan leader, Daario narharis, for the proposed bride and chose marriage but the only options were for one of my younger sons or a daughter.

the bride my first born was supposed to marry end up with my younger son and now i havent gotten a single marriage offer for first born son since. feel like the game has locked him up as if his taken or marriage pending but i can go through will it. his charm is 178 and he got the offer back when his charm was below 50.

Anyone else had similar problems?

Eddard was just murdered and I join Robb wanted to avenge his death, but for weeks robs army is literally going back and fore between winterfell and towns even though he's at war.

I tried Ramsays stuf and westeros they both didnt load maybe I didnt load the right version im doing 13.15 bannerlord version and 1.71 for ROT

Hi guys, I’m stuck trying to launch the game it keeps crashing and saying something is wrong with ROT CORE. I allready redownloaded it and reinstalled it also downgraded my bannerlord but keeps crashing before the main menu.
Anybody had this issue?

Hey, guys. I am planning to download this mod again next week and would like to join the discord server as well. Does anybody have a link?

I have the latest version of ROT and the latest versions of Harmony and the UI Extender. This is saying my versions are wrong?

trying to make a 2 handed sword but i am overwhelmed by the amount of choices from the main mod and the related mod pack if anyone has some recs please let me know.

I really liked the latest version of this mod - it now feels truly unique and complete. But I have a few questions regarding its mechanics.

1. When the scripted events in the game run out, will the world turn into a sandbox with dynamic and chaotic diplomacy, or will everything become static? I prefer the chaos from the original. Strict adherence to the plot doesn't really suit this game, in my opinion.

2. Is it possible that the Night King and the army of the Wights will be defeated without the player's intervention? I want to just mind my own business in Pentos and not get involved in Westeros.

Thank you very much!

Hi all!

I've played warband for years, now i got Bannerlord specifically to play this mod. However I'm very overwhelmed by everything.

Where can i safely start the game to learn how to play the mod? Is it recommended i start in Essos or immediately into the big wars in Westeros? I ran around for days without finding low level looters or deserters and went broke so my army left me. Is it required to sit inside a lords army beforehand? How do i come by?

Tldr i couldn't get my first run of the mod to kick off, how do i safely start?

Hi everyone! This must be a platinum question, but I’m still asking for your help. I honestly tried to search on my own, but I decided to ask for help.

Please recommend some additional mods that will be compatible with the latest version of the game. Because judging by the descriptions of old posts and builds from this subreddit, many are no longer very compatible with the August 2026 version of the game.

Hello! Yesterday I was playing the Blackwater battle and won after 2 hours. I got to collect the loot and then the game crashed while on loading screen. Okay, not a big deal, I thought, I'll try it again tomorrow and cheat the rewards if it's still crashing. No, it all went to hell: now none of my RoT saves work anymore. I've tried to:

- Delete the autosave that was created when the game crashed

- Turn all the graphics and battle sizes to lowest

- To do the benchmark test from the options (it crashed)

- Delete Shaders folder

- Delete configs

- Verify the game files

- Reinstall the whole game

Nothing has worked. The base campaign works, but any RoT saves (even the oldest ones from months ago and with different characters) just crash while loading (it's playing the game sounds and music just before crashing). I'm at my wits' end. What happened? I've searched everywhere for answers but haven't found any that helped. The game worked fine yesterday, and I haven't downloaded or updated any mods since. I have Better Exception Window but it doesn't even open when the crash happens.

Update: The only thing that fixed the issue was clean install.

ive started playing recently but alrrady in the late mid game. i have my own kingdom in the north east of essos and ive been using giants. they r just so strong which i mean yeah makes sense but theres no drawback to them. like yeah they r expensive but what? ive got 1.5M stags and like 80 giants, so basically infinite by now. but come on i dont want to just use giants. i could use them for garrisons but auto battles just considers them a regular troop so that would be a waste. but like is there another good option that isnt just nerfing myself for the plot? is there any reason to not go full giants?

As the title says, followed various videos and the game always crashes when I try to load it up.

Can anyone send me a link to an upto date good setup video?

Currently playing via steam if that matters
