You guys ever play the Legends mod?
Seems fascinating so far.
Hasn't been updated for WOTN yet, but you can revert to B&E version of the game via Beta tab on steam (v. 1.2.x)

Fascinating stuff. A lot of the things people were asking for, like passive stats/skills for your company (barter skill, movement on different terrain types on the world map, an actual camp with lots of functions you can assign brothers to, had different starts before BB itself did).
It has leader starts and special perk trees for the leaders.
Custom items. My crusader start guy has a custom 2h sword that can also do regular slashes (i.e. 2 per turn) in addition to the regular overhead swing, split and that 3-guy swipe.
Pretty cool so far. Lots of options for map size and amount of cities, noble factions, water, landmass, snow, different difficulty scaling (you can encounter tiny groups at start now if you only have one-two guys... Though that doesn't seem to work as well for tombs and such).
Great stuff, shame there's no workshop integration on steam so more people would know about it.
For the camp you unlock tent types by visiting cities with their equivalent in them. Like a taxidermist/crafting tent.
Can buy upgrades for them as well.
You can stay out longer in the wild because you can now break down items into tools in your camp, hunt for food, gather herbs, train in camp (rare chance of stat increase, otherwise +20 percent xp in the next battle, but small chance of injury during training).
This also makes banditry much more interesting as a gameplay choice. Along with permanent destruction.
Different backgrounds now add different stuff, tools/med/ammo is now related to who's in your company.
I.e. some guy might give you +5 tool capacity, be good at hunting, give +landspeed in forests, whatever. Generally a lot of different boni per bro but only some may be high depending on background.
Perks for that exist as well on your leader.
Low tier bros (say, miners, farmers) also get special weapon perks for pickaxes (+15 melee skill if they have one, another skill for +damage), dunno about higher tier guys yet. For those of you who frequently have cannon fodder/weaklings in your group.
