Bloc | Bannerlord - Deserters & Manhunters @Bloctheworker | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
A simple implementation of deserters and manhunters in Bannerlord - as we had in Warband

Things to note:
- Every unit that is routed during battle and ends up on the loser side will become a deserter. In simulations, every unit that isn't wounded or dead but also on the loser side will be a deserter. Not every unit becomes a deserter army though - it's tied to some random value. Routed winner units rally back to their armies. ( which probably can be tied to some skill )
- Each week, towns will assess the situation around them (count of bandits and deserters on loose) and generates manhunter parties.
- Manhunters do have their own troop tree and can be only obtained if you release them from imprisonment. Like in Warband they only have blunt weapons to take them alive. They hunt every bandit around them as long as they can keep going. Once they have enough prisoners, they sell them in towns and buy food with the gold.
- If you want to cause some chaos, you can also attack manhunters by selecting the aggressive option.
- Took ~1 day to implement. Might and probably have some oversight bugs.
