Realistic Battle Mod

Realistic Battle Mod (RBM) is a combat and campaign overhaul for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. It changes how blows deal damage and how armor stops them, how battle AI fights in formations, adds a posture and stamina system, and reworks the campaign economy around troop spoils, wages and settlement wealth.

Every part of the mod can be switched on or off separately, so you can use only the parts you want.
