I’m curious if the current state of modding for Manor Lords would allow for enabling/disabling Raider attacks and/or the Baron AI mid-game.
As many have noted, the hostile AI can be overly punishing for more “relaxed” players, but the pure pacifist mode poses no threats, and no way to enjoy the military aspects.
A decent solution to this would be to build up one’s town, and then enable Raiders when one feels a bit more up to the challenge.
The same goes for the Baron, who tends to swoop in and claim most territories pretty quickly.
Given the patch-like mods that have changed a few values like storage, I wonder if hostile AI could be switched almost as easily.
