BannerLord.Banks w/MCM (1.2.9)

With permission from Jarlotee [github.com], the original author of the mod, I have updated the mod for 1.2.9 and added configuration options.

Currently an issue with the Mod Settings. Do not touch the in-game settings as it will break your game.

OK, I managed to solve it for everyone who needs it:
Don't touch the mod settings.

If they do and the mod breaks they should go to:

"C:\Users\YourUser\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs\ModSettings"
Here you must delete the file called "BannerlordBank"

and then to:

"C:\Users\YourUser\Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs\ModSettings\ButterLib"
and remove "options"

With that the mod should work."

Place it last in the load order if you do not get income

Also make sure you understand the configuration options before you change them.
I cannot tell you how you like to play the game, but this mod is already very, very overpowered. Altering the settings might make you an unstoppable god. But if that's what you like, go ahead.

Bannerlord Banks

Original description taken straight from BannerLord Banks on Nexus [www.nexusmods.com]

As of e1.1.x you have a few ways of creating residual income:

Fiefs
Caravans
Workshops
Trade Perk (Spring of Gold)

Fiefs are only available mid/late game depending on your play style, require active management, and are vulnerable to looters, raids and sieges.

Caravan parties seem to ignore all the skills and perks of your leader (max size 30) making them vulnerable to looters and enemy lords.

Workshops are stuck at level 1, with income that is highly volatile given they need a steady supply of both materials and buyers. Not to mention that a rival kingdom can happy seize your workshop if you become an enemy for a hot second.

Spring of Gold requires 250 trade, typically mid/late game and the interest (while amazing) caps out at 1,000 denars.

IMHO whether you are an independent kingdom, mercenary or sworn vassal all your investments are unavoidably vulnerable to be undone at the snap of the AI's fingers. Surely there must be a better way!

How it works

Bannerlord Banks creates a moneylender in each city that will happily allow you to deposit as much gold as you like at a competitive rate (based on the town's prosperity).

"But wait!", you say, "the Catholic Church banned usury during the dark ages!" You are correct, but lets take a step back. There is no Catholic Church in this game and besides the game itself has a policy called `Forgiveness of Debts`.

So, how much can you make?

The game currently has 30 days per season for a total of 120 game days per year.

If we assume that a VERY prosperous city is at or above 6000 prosperity and you have an investment in said city then you can expect to get the full 60% APY or about 0.5% daily interest.

Vulnerabilities

You do need to shop around to find a city that is already prosperous or is moving in the right direction.

A city with 0 prosperity will yield you zero interest. So there may be reasons to move your gold from time to time.

Your investment cannot be:

Seized during war (since the moneylender is tied to the city, not the factions)
Sacked by bandits (I don't have any plans to add bank robberies or unlawful seizures)
Stolen by your spouse
Spent by your clan members

Withdrawing your money can be done at any time for a modest fee (currently 10%).

To be clear, a well functioning caravan, trade shop or perk WILL have better returns.

I for one would rather pay may hard working army with a safe/steady income from my low yield investments.

Bonus to your Trade Skill
Also it felt super dumb that you are only a good trader/investor if you are actively slogging mules from town to town.
Each day a portion (currently 15%) of you earned interest will count as trade income, giving you a passive improvement to your trade skill.
