Jousting tournaments. Two knights on horseback line up in the lists, charge, and try to throw each other off with a lance. Armor and a shield help you stay in the saddle. Last one still mounted wins the pass. I made it for my own medieval ASOIAF run and figured I might as well share it. It was my first mod. Requires Giddy-Up 2, your knights need something to ride. The lance is handed out automatically
Tournaments run on single elimination brackets, with a board to follow who won and who is out. Around them, if you want it: an opening ceremony with fealty sworn before a lord's seat, a quintain to train your knights between tournaments, betting on guest bouts, squires clearing the lists between charges, your colonists filling the stands, and the champion crowning a Queen of Love and Beauty at the end.
Sometimes he crowns someone other than his sweetheart, and that does not go unnoticed.
Other factions join in: guest knights among your visitors, a wandering champion come to challenge your best, or a whole delegation riding in to compete for the honor of their house.
Character matters. A brawler unhorses harder, a coward may forfeit before the charge, a psychopath may go looking for blood.
Jousts can kill people, its RimWorld. A slider sets how lethal it gets.
Build your own arena
Everything works with spots you place: list barriers, the two knight flags, squire posts, recovery and dead spots, a lord's seat for the ceremony. Put them where you want and build the arena around them, stands, walls, a tent, whatever you like. There is a tutorial in game for the first setup.
Compatibility and Performance
- Requires Giddy-Up 2, nothing else.
- Medieval Overhaul and VFE shields count for the joust, detection is done by class name.
- CE compatible.
- Better architect menu recommended, Ferny added a section for this mod.
- Light on TPS. It depends on how many knights are in the lists at once, so if it chugs for you, tell me.
- Safe to add to an existing save. Delete every spot and banner before removing the mod from one.
The rest of the trilogy
Enjoying RimJoust? A quick thumbs up really helps. It was my first mod, every rating helps more people find it.
