Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord just received its latest beta hotfix update. Beta e1.6.0 is now live on PC and addresses several bugs and crash issues. The game should be a little bit more stable now.
The hotfix made some gameplay changes as well. You can now turn off the auto recruitment feature on settlements by clicking on a checkbox. XP gained by donating items is now capped. Tier 1 items will only give 75 XP, Tier 2 150 XP, Tier 3 250 XP, and Tier 4 300 XP. The rest of the important changes are mentioned below in great detail.
Singleplayer
Changes
- Experienced Smith and Steel Maker 3 perks' secondary effects updated. (Experienced Smith - Successful crafting orders give +2 relationships with notables. Steel Maker 3 - Successful crafting orders give +4 relationship with lords). Research Point Experience needed for unlocking a new part formula has been updated.
- The security value of a settlement is now affected by nearby hideouts. If the settlement has any bounded villages, the raids of those villages affect the security value (previously, raided villages affected the loyalty value). Also, the effect of Prosperity on the Security value is now listed as a tooltip.
