r/MB2Bannerlord

Hey all. Idk what I'm doing I can't get my computer to recognize some mods , and others work just fine. I'm pretty computer stupid so.. any advice in general to help me figure this out. I'm trying to get either the GoT mod to run. Or the LOTR . But neither show up in my lists.

Bannerlord Coop Campaign transforms Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord campaign battles into real-time multiplayer battles.

The host plays the campaign on the world map while connected players wait on a dedicated server and instantly join battles when combat begins.

Players can fight together with the host or join the opposing side during battles.

Current MVP features:

- Multiplayer campaign battles

- Public and VPN server support

- Up to 120 players technically supported

- Field battles

- Spectator mode

- Reinforcement system

- Command system

This is my first campaign and playing as a vassal of battania, all of the empire and the vlandians have declared war on us and I personally only have about 160 troops. Is there anything I can do to meaningfully help or should I just give up and start a new campaign

Hi guys, I'm Wake. I've spent a long time in leadership within one of the larger clans on the mod Persistent Bannerlord EU, leading cavalry, organizing content, diplomacy, wars, all that stuff.

If you don't know what PB is, It's a multiplayer mod that averages 100-300 people regularly, massive alliance wars occur often involving over 200 players, fluctuating diplomacy, fighting over castles and resources.

Recently I stepped away and decided to build something myself instead.

Not because of drama or some big fallout. I just got tired of the same cycle a lot of clans fall into:
- 80 people shouting over each other
- leadership friction
- people refusing to listen
- toxicity becoming normal
- quantity over quality

I think the atmosphere around it can be done way better.

So I'm starting small and building a more grounded and disciplined group for the next map cycle. Not aiming to become the next biggest clan or force people online 24/7. Just a solid core of players who enjoy organized fights, good comms, lower toxicity, training sessions to improve skill, and actually playing things the way they are intended.

If you're new to the mod, and I presume most would be, feel free to check things out. https://discord.gg/eY99tatyhC

I discovered M&B in 2017 through the German YouTube channel "Lord Peter," and it has since become one of my favorite games. However, since I own a console and therefore cannot use mods the game has eventually become rather boring. Consequently, I would like to know if I am the only one wishing for such features, and whether it would even be technically possible.

1. Better Graphics. I think modern graphics with fewer bugs would be an important change although I don't expect AAA quality like that of Unreal Engine 5, since that slightly "shabbier" look is also part of what defines the game.

2. Expanded Political Options. The War Sails DLC took a step in the right direction with the introduction of trade agreements, but I would love to see a more complex system one in which alliances between states, as well as trade agreements, have a much greater impact on gameplay. Furthermore, vassals should be able to betray you if you treat them poorly. The AI ​​should be capable of founding its own kingdoms and seceding from existing ones (much like the player can, including the option to take all their fiefs with them). There should also be a system for the rise and fall of clans; currently, powerful clans tend to remain powerful and weak ones weak unless the player personally grants them fiefs. They should be able to rise in status or fall from grace, with the AI ​​ruler having the ability to strip them of their titles. Vassals should be able to undermine their ruler through covert intrigue for instance, if a ruler neglects a specific clan, that clan might refuse to defend the realm during a war, instead allowing the enemy free rein or even secretly coordinating with hostile forces against their own ruler. Mercenary clans should be able to weigh their options: if they suffer excessive casualties while in service losses that are not justified by their pay they should be able to destabilize the kingdom from within by seizing individual territories for themselves. To this end, they should be able to establish their own small strongholds by, for example, taking over individual villages. For the late game, I would suggest introducing three distinct factions of vassals: the Loyalists, the Opportunists, and the Royal Rivals. Loyalists: These vassals stand loyally behind their liege lord, though they still expect to be rewarded for their service; without such rewards, they may switch factions. Opportunists: These vassals remain neutral, constantly weighing which of the other two factions offers the most advantageous position for them in any given situation. Royal Rivals: These represent the most powerful vassals in the realm clans whose sheer power and influence make them kings in all but name. They seek to manipulate the ruler to serve their own interests, or else undermine him politically, making his life a living hell.

3. Elective Monarchy. Since factions such as the Vlandians and Swadians are heavily modeled on medieval Western Europe (Germany, England, and France), I believe it would be fitting to introduce such a system. Two of the largest European states Germany (the Holy Roman Empire) and Poland (the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth) actually featured this form of monarchy. Admittedly, Bannerlord has already taken steps in this direction; if you choose to join the Vlandians at the start of the game, this mechanic often comes into play quite early on. However, the current implementation is completely unrealistic: the princes simply elect a new king, and that’s the end of it. In real-world systems, the struggle for the title of Emperor or King often involved years of conflict. I would like to see various factions emerge within the game as well, forcing the legitimately elected king to actively win over the supporters of these rival factions either by offering them substantial sums of Denars or by granting them fiefs or else face the prospect of civil war.

4. Smarter AI and a larger map with more factions. I am a fan of the Nemesis System that Monolith used in their LOTR games. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. has patented this system for the period from 2021 to 2037. However, TaleWorlds should draw inspiration from it and optimize it to fit a medieval feudal system. Since the original system in the LOTR series tends to become repetitive after more than 100 hours of gameplay, it needs to be modified so that even after 500+ hours the AI ​​still makes decisions that the player would never have anticipated. To achieve this, Calradia must be expanded to include more factions (at least four), and the map should be designed in such a way that naval travel makes sense. I would also like to see a higher density of castles and cities. Furthermore, I wish for the return of the feudal land-grant system from Warband. I do not want to simply hand over an entire city along with its four associated villages to a single clan; instead, I want the ability to distribute those villages among smaller vassals

Finally got a stable Realm of Thrones + Banner Kings setup working on Bannerlord 1.2.12 after an absurd amount of trial and error, dependency hell, version mismatches, crashes, and White Walker-level character creation bugs.
Posting this in case it helps someone else because there are barely any updated videos/posts for this exact setup.

Mods I skipped / had issues with
More Hero Interactions (discontinued, only supports older versions)
Better Time (couldn’t find stable 1.2.12 version)
Better Executions (not worth the setup for me)
Kingdom Politics Expanded (instability concerns)
BIG TIPS
RBM should load ABOVE Realm of Thrones
A Clash of Banner Kings should load BELOW BOTH BK + ROT
Make sure ROT-Core, ROT-Content, ROT-Map, and ROT-Dragon are directly inside your Modules folder (no extra nested folder)
Test in phases. Don’t install 30 mods at once and pray to the Seven.
Currently working great for me with:
battles
reinforcements
BK systems
families
bodyguards
custom troops
RBM combat
dynasty/RP mechanics
If people want the exact load order I can post it.

It's my first time using mods so I wasn't thinking that some may not be compatible with the DLC. My problem is my game just crashes anytime I try a naval battle or fight the Nords. I don't want to restart if I don't have to but I the mod that's causing it is the cause of the crashing but its also my favorite one. So idk if there's a way to transfer the save data over to a non DLC save but if anyone could let me know that would be much appreciated!

Hey like the title says I want to find a replacement for dramalord.
I’m using the eoe1100 mod with Erik’s troops and the warsails patch, but when I try to add dramalord to the mix it crashes on start up.
Does anyone know a good replacement I could try? Because the social aspect of bannerlord is really bland on its own.

We all love Mount & Blade II Bannerlord. Would you like to see a movie or TV series based on this game? If so, what would the story be?

(There may be errors in the text. I just wrote it through a translator.)

I attempted to down load the Realm of Thrones mod on nexus and all accompanying mods, downloaded them all, double check and made sure I did so correctly, didn’t work. Tried a few fixes, then I decided the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze just yet. So I deleted the mod folders and went to launch the game. Nothing, not even the launcher pops up. I’ll get the stop option on steam then it reverts back to the play option. I then tried launching out of the actual launcher folder, I’ll get the launcher pulled up but it freezes when i actually launch the game. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times now, no success. I’ve tried using my workshop mods and not using them, still doesn’t work. Im at a loss. I’m not super tech friendly, which is generally why i stick to workshop mods and avoid nexus. But now I can’t play my favorite game, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
