I'm fairly new to Mound and Blade Warband, but I have watched youtubers play and they always have an option to give their soldiers (Just normal ones) the rest of the loot and equip them after the end of a battle When i win a battle i can only equip weapons for myself and the rest is sold i can only guess? Is it a mod i need to download or what?

It is not possible in the default Mount and Blade: Warband. There are several mods which provide such functionality, though i think most mods, for example Floris, only have automatic distribution of loot to your heroes, not your troops.
I can't think of any mod that allows full customization of troops but since there are quite a lot of mods, you might find what you are looking for in the Mod list

You are able to customise the equipment of your heroes, either by talking to them individually through the party screen or in some mods, like Floris, you also have the option of auto-updating it from a communal equipment pool.
As far as I know, none of the mods allow you to customise the equipment of your regular troops, although you can do this through Morgh's Editor, as has been mentioned in a post above.
You can also create your own Knighthood Order in Prophecy of Pendor, and you have the ability to customise the troops that are produced, both in terms of equipment and training.
If you feel that the troops in Warband are a little limited, then you can also use a mod like Floris to expands upon the troop trees of all factions. That might give you more of the experience you are looking for!

Maybe it's a case of confirmation bias or because I've only recently returned to playing M&B, but between Reddit, TaleWorlds, and the Nexus forums, I've seen numerous debates pop up over 'female' armor, and I decided I'd see about trying to put the matter to rest.
Boob armor is impractical.
First, in order for armor to fully accentuate the female form, it essentially has to hug the figure like a corset. While that sort of thing would work for armor made of flexible materials like leather, it wouldn't work so well for chain or plate armor. Your chest needs to expand so you can breathe, and you don't want the armor pressed right against you anyway, because it would transfer shock to your flesh and cause serious injury even if it did stop enemy weapons.
Second, a breastplate with separate indentations for each breast would be a huge risk to the wearer. Plate armor is primarily designed to deflect attacks, not absorb them, and putting a 'valley' right over your heart is pretty suicidal, as it would essentially redirect attacks right into the center of your chest. Also, that hard steel ridge in the center could do some serious damage if you fell off of a horse, or took a solid blow to the chest from a sledgehammer or other blunt object.
But it would distract men to see my female form!
I can assure you that if you're charging at a man with a spear or a sword intending to murder him, you could be Megan-fucking-Fox charging buck naked through a storm of glistening raindrops and few men would hesitate to cleave you in two, because nobody's going to be ogling you when they're fearing for their lives.
Your pretty, form-revealing armor might save your life in another way, though. Your enemies might be more interested in capturing you alive so they can spend the next few days or weeks passing you around the campfire.
Quake III Arena 1.0 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows 10 PCs but also without a hitch on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Since the publisher or product no longer exists, the download of Quake III: Arena is from the archive and therefore outdated; updates to. Quake iii arena download.
So, whenisit feasible?
I will give many of the female armor supporters one thing: Calradia's not like Earth. Women are capable of equaling men in physical prowess, so it's not entirely impossible to believe that more suits of armor tailor made for women might exist.
But what would it look like?
Well, it certainly would not look like this, or this, or especially this. There are, however, examples of armor made for women that has been proven to, at least, allow for improved comfort for women that are well-endowed.
This is an example of armor a woman might wear. It provides increased room in the chest without sacrificing protection.
This is another example. Again, slightly more room is afforded up top, but the overall shape of the breastplate is only slightly modified.
This is probably the most extreme example you'll find that's still realistic (though she would likely be wearing mail under it, not just quilted padding), which we know allows her to move because she actually wears it when performing mock combat with rattan weapons. You'll notice, of course, that there are no 'boobs' on the armor itself.
Honestly, this, this, and this are what you're going to see when it comes to 'realistic armor' for women, since, with very few exceptions, there aren't many women out there that are well-enough endowed that they would need their armor expanded.
What about ceremonial / dress armor?
This is about the only time where something like boob armor could (but likely wouldn't) be seen. It would be armor meant to show off ones' wealth, not provide actual protection in combat, and there are historical examples of nobles and kings doing exactly this. King Henry VIII had an exaggerated metal penis in his armor, and many other wealthy nobles during Roman and Greek antiquity had armor custom-made to fit their forms, and these armors were often shiny, engraved, polished, and decorated in elaborate ways.
However, as I pointed out, such armors would likely be more of a liability than a protective feature, so if they were added to the game, I would expect them to be unusually heavy, have low protective value, very high cost, and likely come with some kind of skill penalties as well.
So, in closing, while it doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to agree that it's feasible that a somewhat eccentric, wealthy, self-centered noblewoman might wear armor like this in a parade or while addressing her subjects, it's incredibly unlikely that she would even set foot on the battlefield wearing it.

Waiting for Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlords? Stop twiddling your thumbs and give some of these Warband mods a whirl.
Mount & Blade: Warband is the standalone expansion for Mount & Blade that released on Steam back in 2010 and made its console debut at the end of last year, and a huge modding community has built up around it.
The sequel, Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlords, still doesn’t have a confirmed release date but we do know that developer TaleWorlds will share its tools to keep the modding community alive.
There’s a tonne of mods for Mount & Blade: Warband, from total conversion to simpler fare that makes the game prettier, and that’s what we’re here for today.

Mount & Blade: Warband’s best mods and where to get them
In anticipation of the sequel hopefully hitting its potential 2017 release date, we’ve rounded up some of the best mods for you to try in Warband as the game is super cheap right now, and it’s a good a time as any to dip your toes into the water.
Let us know if your favourites made the list, and if you have any suggestions of your own.
A Song of Ice and Fire is music to our ears
If you’re yearning for some Game of Thrones action while waiting for the next book or the new series, A World of Ice and Fire is going to be right up your street.
We reviewed AWoIaF a few years ago, comparing it to another popular Game of Thrones mod, A Clash of Kings.
It was officially released in April this year and is still being updated – you can check out June’s patch notes here – and it lets you pick character names based on either the books or the TV series, which is a nice touch.
If you’re ready to slaughter and pillage your way to the Iron Throne, this is the mod for you.
Mount & Blade: 40K
Warsword Conquest has been around for a while, and while it’s still in beta, this Warhammer fantasy total conversion mod features factions like the Scaven, dwarves, orcs, elves, Lizardmen and more.
The latest update was in June, and while there’s still no release date in sight, it’s a solid fantasy mod for fans of Warhammer.
Any mod that enables drunken heroes to stagger across the world and ride into battle completely sozzled is okay in my book.
A galaxy far, far away
Star Wars – Bear Force 2 is a world away from Mount & Blade: Warband.
Set during the Clone Wars, this multiplayer mod has overhauled everything to recreate the Star Wars universe for Mount & Blade players who fancy changing things up and trading in their swords for lightsabers.
In June’s blog update the team behind the mod said that they were working towards “a grand release in July”. Hopefully they’ll get it out there before Bannerlord comes out.
Watch your enemies lose their heads
There’s nothing more satisfying in this world than lopping off someone’s arm or leg, so let’s throw a little love towards the Decapitate and Dismember mod.
It’s an oldie but a goodie, and all of the enemies can be beheaded in the majority of scenarios. Just like in real life, it might take you a few tries to hack off a limb or a head, but a little perseverance and elbow grease goes a long way.
It’s not Elder Scrolls 6, but it’ll do
It would be remiss not to include an Elder Scrolls mod on the list.
Tamriel: Bloodlines End is an ambitious mod that is currently in development for Warband. It’s set in the fourth era, just after the assassination of Emperor Titus Mede II and Vittoria Vicci.
Mount And Blade Wiki
Factions include Khajiit, Argonians, Aldmeri, and lots more. It’s certainly one to keep an eye on if it can deliver on its promise to let you “Travel to any corner of Tamriel.”
There’s no release date for a beta version, so let’s hope the project doesn’t become too overwhelming. We really want to see Tamriel come to Mount & Blade: Warband.
A Smorgasbord of mods
If you can’t be bothered to trawl through all of the Mount & Blade: Warband mods, the Floris Mod Pack is for you.
This is definitely an experience for players who have seen and done all there is to do in the vanilla version of the game, and it brings together a range of existing mods in the community.
You can choose between Basic, Gameplay, and Expanded versions depending on both the power of your PC and how much of a change you want.
Need a helping hand?
Wandering the land trying to amass an army can get lonely at times. If you want some company, the Full Invasion 2 mod is a popular choice for co-op.
Players are tasked with surviving waves of invaders and bosses for as long as possible, so it’s no walk in the park.
There is a newer version being worked on that will introduce new maps, systems, and features. If you’re having fun with Full Invasion 2, it’s worth keeping up with Wave 53 Studios’ progress on Full Invasion 3.
For honour and glory
Another mod that’s still in development, War of the Samurai overhauls Mount & Blade: Warband’s setting entirely.
YouNean is putting in a lot of effort to get its mod as historically accurate as possible, reading up on the era to get the names and artwork spot on.
The mod starts in 1560 after the Battle of Okehazama and one of the features will be the option of promoting members of your army to companions. There will be at least 50 clans and over 300 lords when the mod is finished.
It’s one to add to your watch list.
Swords and sorcery
Perisno is a fantasy mod for Warband and within it you’ll find elves, giants, dwarves, and even magic – although it’s worth noting that players can’t actually use magic.
The most recent update rolled out five new factions including two factions of giants, which are now a playable race.
Perisno has powerful weapons like the Flamebringer and Skyfall relics, and as well as invaders, players need to be on the lookout for the “Dreaded One,” adding another dimension to the gameplay with the potential for some interesting random events.
Chivalry is alive and well
Prophecy of Pendor is for those of you who don’t want to go too far off the reservation.
The setting is low-fantasy, and Knighthood Orders, voice acting encounters, and “Well thought out cultures, armies, and conflict” lend themselves to a greater sense of immersion.
The AI battle system is new and there are even more quests and events than the original expansion.
Definitely a must-have for lovers of the original.
Looks aren’t everything, but they help
It’s no surprise to anyone to say that Mount & Blade: Warband isn’t the best looking game out there, but the Mount & Blade: Retexture mod sets out to rectify that.
The texture pack is for the vanilla version of the game and makes it a hell of a lot more easy on the eye.
Expect an update for hair textures soon as well.
Bigger is better
If you think your PC can handle the challenge, you should look into Warband Battle Size Changer for some epic fights.
Mount And Blade Warband Best Armor Mods
The mod increases the base limit of 150 soldiers to 1000.
But fair warning, “Don’t even expect to be able to have battles of size 1000 even if you have the latest and greatest hardware; that upper limit is that high to give plenty of leeway. If you experience crashes, you should lower the battle size.”
If your game starts to slow down or crashes, obviously you need to lower your expectations somewhat, along with the number of troops.
But this should serve nicely to spice up your battles.
