Spare Some Love To Banner Saga 1 - version 3.4

for Banner Saga 1, Steam version 2.58.17 / GOG version 2.58.17

Now includes Nafeij's Pillager Submod for BS1

Spare Some Love To Banner Saga 1 is a legacy-support mod for Banner Saga 1, build on top of the original unofficial patch by YaK of all Trades (YaK#2186).

The mod corrects bugs, inconsistencies and typos in the video game Banner Saga 1 by Stoic Studios. It also restores some never-before-seen cut-content and features various QoL improvements.

This repo also includes Nafeij's Pillager Submod for BS1, an optional addon for SSLTBS1 which activates Pillage Mode at the start of battles; for masochists who wish to experience the challenge of Survival Mode with the difficulty curve of the first installment.
