A tip to possibly alleviate performance on AI entering killmoves. - Create a MaxConcurrentKillAnimations variable somewhere. Mess around with this number. - Create a KillAnimationCandidates list or array variable. I'm not sure what type the variable would be? Something that defines an AI soldier. This gets filled by all soldiers on the battlefield when the battle starts. - Create a ActiveKillAnimationSoliders list or array variable of the same type as above. This starts out empty - Every few seconds a random AI soldier will be added to the ActiveKillAnimationSoliders list - As long as the lenght of the list is lower than the MaxConcurrentKillAnimations number we add the candidates to the ActiveKillAnimationSoliders Run the necessary logic to play the animations on all soldiers in the ActiveKillAnimationSoliders list. If a soldier plays the animation or dies, they get removed from the list. You might want to exclude archers and cavalry in here too. And make sure you don't add the same soldier more than once in the ActiveKillAnimationSoldiers list. Implemented properly this should be fairly mild on the performance. Unless you crank up the MaxConcurrentKillAnimations number Edit: I'm sure you could figure something like this out yourself. Or most likely even improve it, just trying to nudge you in a possible direction :)

This looks incredible! Can't wait to give it a try. I wish Taleworlds would work with modders like yourself to get the little things like the animations into the base game. It has so much potential!

Exactly what i was wishing for in Bannerlord. Thanks for uploading!

This is really special. They are hiring.. you should submit an application. You have major skill 🤘

Very cool! We need this for Noble NPC too, and with more fancy/killmove animation matching the skill points invested.

Would recommend introducing some randomness whenever you’re making all the AI agents do something - the shield taunt for example. I’ve always found it weird when everyone is perfectly in sync. Ideally, when you use the taunt, the AI would all use a different taunt animation (war cry, shield bash, etc.) all slightly out of sync with each other. Just my opinion!

Okay this is a GAME CHANGER! You have become what Muad'dib was to Arrakis. You are the prophet that the bannerlord community NEEDED. GREAAAT work!!!!

Holy shit mate!! You're a blessing for the Bannerlord community without a doubt! TW should honestly just hire you, you're so talented and have really great ideas to add to the game, lowkey putting TW to shame, honestly!

I've ALWAYS wanted truly injured troops to be a thing, great ideas and great execution :D good luck with your mod!

Matched combat would be great for duels in the arena and for challenging enemy lords, imagine being chased down by a lord and challenging them for a duel instead of fighting a battle, they would accept if they are high on honor and courage or if their army morale is low. If you win their party leaves and lets you go, if he wins you end up prisoner or die and your party disbands

Shield bash by an entire army should be very loud, echoing through out the valley, scaring the enemy ! You're doing great work, keep it up.

I use Assassin and Espionnage, Your Deserve A Crown and Artem Lively Animations for a while...but only now I figured out they were your work. These are truly amazing mods that look like professionnal features, TW should definitely hire you.

Super cool man! this is the mod I've been waiting for years. You're GREAT. but sadly it's not compatible on 1.1.5

The reviewer has become the modder! Great stuff Artem!

Is it possible to install features separately? E.g. install Wounded Animations, and Shield Taunts, but left out Matched Combat and Flee Animations. Feature suggestions: - Change fleeing animations. Running in bent over position does not seem really comfortable :) Running and stumbling could be more fitting. - Add panic attacks animations for wounded and "less experienced" units. They could start chaotically swinging weapons around in last attempt to save their lives. That might also work for surrounded units, but that check might be constly for perf I guess. Thank you for sharing your work!

Oh man I love that you showed the total war animations at the start. I really like your mod and I see potential in it growing to have cool and complex “duels” like in Rome 2 and Attila and such! Wouldn’t mind if you extracted the animations directly and re-rigged them to the bannerlord skeletons hehe… a ton of work to be sure, but just throwing it out there :)

this reminds me of the "Dream game" video made by Jack (I forgot his last name). He said he wanted executions from For Honor or something simmilar and I think this is the one step towards the dream.

In my opinion combat in Bannerlord should be like this from the beginning. You rock! Maybe this mod make me come back to this game :)

Hey arty, loving all your content to bannerlord brother, be careful taking a lot of things on your plate plus the YT, I don’t wanna see you burn out like a lot of modders with bannerlord due to the sheer amount of updating required each patch

this was actually very very cool ! make this game alive again

Killmoves in shadow of war is REALLY COOL. I WANT TO SEE THEM IN THIS GAME! ZAMN!

Looks great! That is what bannerlord was really missing! Thank for this stunning work!

Amazing! I give it a try for sure in my new Playtrough

Maybe trying to make the animations companion only first would be a good test for performance

Very nice mod man good work hope there will be more Animations in the future and a bit more variety

whoah are you the one responsible for artem's lively animation mod??? love that mod

if it would work with RBM and some dismemberent mods it just would be much more better. love the work modder(s) make.

Hey artem. In your assasination mod i wanted 1 thing most and found 2 bugs. What i wanted most is i wanted to assasinate my king at my faction so i can be elected but we dont have that option unfortunately. Bugs arr when you get attacked in city center all the townsfolk start attacking you. Second bug is sometimes the same spymaster spawns 3 clobes at the same castle. This mod is good but %60 od the mod is missing cuz you cant assasinate your own king.

I would probably leave it off for myself, but seeing companions and lords doing this would be so dope. I tried it out and I do think bows should be excluded from the animations but it is fun🖖

Shield taunt seems good but those combat animations need some work, no slow-motion and speed it up to keep up the pace with combat.

Looks amazing, is it possible to disable some features to keep only the ones I like? I love the injury and fleeing features, but not too much the others.

Incredible work dude, so impressed by this!

Did anybody ever tell you that you sound like a more chilled out version of the B33f from MWO ;D

I always wondered if its possible to make siege battles spread across whole settlement, make troops fight on every street and make small blockades in tiny crossings, add some spacing in between fighting units like there is with killmove

Amazing mod, really brings back memories from Viking conquest, and the animations, that total war vibe.

This is awesome! We at Dirty Gaming appreciate your effort.

I like this mod already, haven't tested it yet though - will do soon enough! Thanks Artem!

HOLY F ! WHAT A GREAT MOD ! THAT WHAT I WAS MISSING ! GREAT JOB MAN

Thank you! I'll add this to my let's play on RU-vid. It would be great if there were more animations for horse archers. For example, a simultaneous salvo on the move. P.S. I hope Google translated it correctly

The Bannerlord community thanks you for your hard work m'lord.

Those shield taunts remime me of Viking Conquest mod. I missed it so much

all are amazing, hope they get implemented to base game in a way As for the complex animations, perhaps a new game mode can be made that is more "arcady" and story oriented. The player can use better animations in this mode. Perhaps it can become the basis for a witcher mod or something.

it is amazing , i really love it! but does it also work in hideout boss fight?

Thanks when I come back home i need to download it

Fantastic job 👏, in the future can you add shield testudo ? If it is possible

Truly a killer mod, took away my breath.

You should add another flee animation which when your winning the enemies see what's going on and then they drop their weapons,shields and they are horrified to see there loosing

Ich finde es sehr gut, dass du in der letzten Zeit immer mehr Mods selbst machst Starke Leistung 💪

Finally you make your own mod my compliment mate! Thanks for this one I was hoping for this too

China movie. Missing fly fight :))

Wow Artem, you are one of the most talented modders I've seen! Great mod thank you!

Fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 can't wait to play this mod when i get back

I hope there will be more content for this mod in future ❤

Amazing mod but i think a bit should improve like incorporating the dismemberment mod into it aswell. Also,There should be a QoL mod that distinguishes companions and lords on battlefield or duels before battles. Good Work 👍🏻

Looks really nice. Will try today.

I find the executions and the matched combat thing a bit goofy and unnecessary, but the shield taunts, fleeing animations and wounded mechanics look very cool. It's simple, but can be very immersive. Nice job

I really, really want some animations like Achilles from Troy. Not very 'realistic' per-se but damn did it look cool, lol.

ive been wanting to see a wse like in warband 1212 ad making combat way more realistic, fun and better looking

Taleworlds Dev team = (Modders / Sarcasm) Continue to do amazing work! sadly taleworlds does not pay them. Or have them listed as employees.

impressive, can you make the matching or the execute animations available for you heroes too? It would be amazing to see them perform them.

if bannerlord had something like Kingdom Come deliverance duels- in tournaments would be great...

They need to hire you when they start making the third mount and blade

Thanks, Danke og Tak for this video Artem, it looks killer and i really appreciate your content and reviews

You are one of the best modders for this game so far, thank you for your work!

That matched combat looks cool as hell, but is the slo-mo a part of it or was it edited in? It seems like it'd be pretty annoying to have if it was in-game

You should create a guts from berserk series character mod , so one can play campaign as him or am achillies one .

Dude its look sick WOW

Amazing, Artem!!

I like the shield taunts the most

Man, you are one awesome guy ! Thank you very much :)

can you make mods for spears too? i installed an improved spear mod but when you make things this awesome i cant help but wonder if you can make spear animation not so rigid

Now got to wait for ROT to update to 1.2 to get this mod

the killmoves aren't my taste but the rest of the features of this mod look awesome, is it possible to toggle features or are they all active at all times?

Thank you once again Artem

This is so much better than vanilla animations!!

I'm gonna be honest, just looks silly. I get what you mean with more cinematic fights but it just seems you sacrifice more than you gain and if I wanted massive cinematic battles I would just play a Total War game. Perhaps if the kill animations were a lot more efficient/quicker then I would not mind but eh. What really needs work is the AI to fight more like people and less like bots. RBM already does a solid job at this in my opinion, TW has made massive improvements to AI already but further addons would be nice. I do like the idea of injury idle animations, in total war your troops would be visibly panting and bloody if tired and wounded. It would be cool to see after defeating a wave of enemies, recollecting your troops to see some of them panting and wounded, trying to recover before the next attack hits.

hi, wait a second, does this mod does slow the time as a standard in fights? Or you can play without slowing anything? I am not interested in slowing stuff. Very cool stuff. I wish they called people that could introduce stuff in the gmae without mods in some cases... Some stuff is suspposed to be so like a Boat System with persistent ship etc... Will this fantastic mod work with stuff like Realistic battle mod or, Xorberax stuff like the Dismemberment and the other Xoberax Legacy mod?

Just when i though i was out of bannerlord, artem pulls me back in

Great work, maybe I’ll get back into this game again

Time to make a tombstone piledriver animation in blender and add it as an execution to this mod

Another Awesome mod!

The mod has minor issue with slice through. I have to admit u made the mod really more imersive and made my jaw hasnt closed everytime i play lol.

This mod is a dream come true...

ohhh boy, the immersion 😍

Absolutely incredible, any way to have the finishers without the slow motion?

Icredible man, great work

DU GEILE SAU! DANKE!

I just feel like other soldiers watching while you take out their leader with flashy moves is a bit unrealistic for a game like bannerlord 😂 supercool mod though kudos to you man

Perhaps, join the two sides in the duel between the lords in the name of God before the charge, or you can point the general, and all the subordinates cheer for you

Could you create a mod that disallows engaged troops from bunching up and create a better combat experience?

I would like a mod that can make you attack while blocking with shields. This would make spears much stronger

Wow this is really great

Great work !

do kill animation always execute in slow motion? if so, any way to disable the slowmo?

Well Good work Very Very Good I say!! A little immersion at last to that unique game!! WellDone!! Just fix some broken stuff here, like when you execute these animations and please place few more nice kills. Very very cool Mod one of the 3 Best around here !!! If you keep on please later add realistic army marching , not seem like robots or pupils. But first focus on that special and cool sector of "combat fighting- killing" to make it perfect as it can be. Keep up mate. I haven't played again Bannerlord since the last time they even not announce to release modding tools in public.. So if I come back it would be so much perfect moment to see this mod actually compelted

Great job!

Can you show us your favorite mods you currently use?

Artem, truly one of the bannerlord Goats

An expanded independed kingdom mod would be great ngl, what we have now is kinda meh, i think a mechanic similar to Empire TW would be great.
