Valiant Bastion Utility Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the Unit Overview menu?
Press U to open the Unit Overview menu, where you can see all your hired units, check their health and equipment, and give mass orders to multiple troops at once.
How do I set up a guard patrol route?
Sneak and right-click the ground with an empty hand to assign a guard post for your followers; they will patrol around that location and return to it when not in combat. Use the Toggle Guard Mode Horn to switch between follow and guard stances across your army.
Why are my hired units hitting each other in combat?
This mod includes allied projectile filtering that prevents friendly fire, but make sure you're using the Advanced Guard Mode to give your units proper patrol ranges and return points so they don't cluster together dangerously.
Can I transfer my hired units to another player?
Yes, this mod allows you to transfer hired units directly between players, which is useful for sharing your army or passing control to teammates on multiplayer servers.
My mounted rider keeps taking damage in tight spaces—how do I fix this?
This mod fixes the suffocating block damage issue that mounted riders experience when traveling through narrow paths, so make sure your mod is fully updated and the fix is enabled in your settings.
What are vertical slabs and how do I use them?
Vertical slabs are standing slab blocks that let you build more detailed structures; the mod adds vertical slab variants for wood planks, colored wool, bark, and beams to expand your decorative building options.
How do I make my hired units use ranged weapons like spears and plates?
Hired units can use extra thrown items like plates, spears, and termites in ranged fights automatically when you equip them through the Unit Overview menu; they'll switch to these weapons when enemies are at range.
Can I adjust how fast conquest decays on my server?
Yes, use the /conquestdecay command to adjust or completely stop conquest loss over time, giving you control over how quickly your faction's territory influence fades.
Why can't I click the death screen buttons on my resized window?
This mod fixes the unclickable death screen buttons issue that occurs when you resize your game window, so the buttons should now respond properly to clicks.
Do vertical slabs and other features work with The Lord of the Rings Mod?
Yes, this mod is designed as an extension for The Lord of the Rings Mod: Legacy and all features are built to work seamlessly with it, including the new building blocks and improved unit controls.
