I married my sister to a khuzait lord thinking that that'll get them in my faction. Didn't realize I'd lose my sister who was a valuable companion. Is there any way I can get her back into my clan??
I thought conquering entire map alone in Mount&Blade is literally impossible but with right strategy I managed to conquer entire map alone without any vassals.
The combat is semi inspired by Mount and blade but over the top trampling and tower defence elements. It’s you vs the horde.
What do you reckon? What makes Mount and blade combat so satisfying?
Hey everyone,
I’ve recently been working on a mod that dynamically changes your map model based on the size of your party, similar to how it worked in Viking conquest. ‘Twas a small feature but one I thought was pretty cool and was a shame to see it not brought over to Bannerlord.
The photo I’ve included shows a small preview of where I’m up to, ive already got it so that the models you see on the map are made up of your party composition, (if your party is mainly nords it will show nordic troops etc)it will also not show cavalry if you have no cavalry and vice versa.
I currently have 4 tiers set up maxing out at 200+ troops.
Currently working on positioning for the models in each formation.
I wasn’t going to publish it, I was really just making it for myself but I’m curious if/how many people would be interested in this? As I’ll gladly publish if so. It’s still a work in progress and I plan to do the same for ships at sea for those who have the DLC, exactly like how it was in VC.
The political crisis in Lycaron has erupted into chaos and catastrophe. Facing military collapse on the borders, Empress Ira bypassed centuries of law to declare Emergency War Powers, seizing direct control over noble tax revenues and conscription, bypassing the Senate entirely. Enraged by their lost authority, Lord Phadon and his Senate allies led the charge against Ira, and publicly whipped the capital into a frenzy. Behind the scenes, that anger was weaponized. Hired killers were paid to blend into the manufactured civil unrest, waiting to execute the Empress and clear the throne for a Senate coup. Today, that trap closed.
Earlier today, Empress Ira attempted a quiet walk along the high ramparts alongside her best friend and closest advisor, Alena, escorted only by a skeletal guard detail. As the party descended into the lower district, they were boxed in by what appeared to be an enraged mob.
The riot proved to be a cold, coordinated hit. Pulling hidden blades, the mob surged forward, swarming and slaughtering the guards in seconds.
The Empress did not yield quietly. Drawing a hidden dagger, Ira lunged into the fray and gutted two attackers on the spot. Realizing they were defenseless, Alena grabbed Ira, desperately trying to drag the Empress back toward the safety of the keep.
The escape ended in horror. An assassin's blade caught Alena, cutting her down instantly. As Alena fell, the mob overwhelmed the Empress, stabbing Ira repeatedly before she collapsed.
The alleyway is left dead silent, littered with the bodies of fallen guards and dead assailants. Empress Ira and her advisor lie bleeding side by side on the cold pavement.
With the Empress cut down in her own capital, total chaos has broken out across Lycaron! More updates to follow as the situation develops!
I've recently bought a Windows XP PC and would like to get a physical copy of Warband. I'm worried, however, that it will use Steam as DRM. I bought Medieval II: Total War and the game tried to install Steam which doesn't work for me because my PC doesn't have an internet connection, and it also isn't supported by Steam anymore. I don't want to buy the game and not actually be able to play it, so does anyone have experience with a physical PC copy of the game?
Edit: Just found a picture of the back of the game box and unfortunately it says in VERY small writing "You must activate this product via the internet by registering for a Steam account". So it's a no go for me unfortunately
While the imperial surgeons in Lycaron labor in total silence to pull Empress Ira back from the brink of death after the assassination attempt, the Senate moves to seize her crown.
Archon Phadon, long the Empress's most venomous political rival in the capital, believed the throne was ripe for the taking. As the grandson of Emperor Neretzes, he viewed the imperial seat as his birthright, desperate to restore the authority of the noble oligarchy, and erase the humiliating disaster at the Battle of Pendraic that had stripped House Neretzes of the crown. He moved into the grand hall with purse-strings open, attempting to buy the palatine guards on the spot. Phadon assumed there was no one left to stop him. Ira's husband, Emperor Jon, and their son and heir, Prince Arenicos, are both trapped fighting a brutal proxy war in the frozen North, their fates completely unknown.
He failed to account for Princess Rhamira, Ira’s daughter. Standing third in line to the throne, Princess Rhamira had been dismissed by the patricians as a harmless child. But as Phadon handed out bribes, Princess Rhamira entered the hall flanked by loyalists. Seeing the treason unfolding before her, she climbed the dais and sat the throne. By Princess Rhamira's direct decree, Phadon was stripped of his authority and confined to his quarters under house arrest.
Down in the city streets, blood still darkens the paving stones where Empress Ira and her companion Alena were ambushed. Adinea the Black, the premier operative of the crown's shadow network, returned to the scene to hunt for answers. A hooded cleaner attempted to lunge at her from the dark, but Adinea put a dagger through his throat first. In his pockets, she discovered heavy gold coins stamped with the mark of House Neretzes, confirming Phadon’s hand in the attack on the Empress.
Adinea brought the coins straight to Princess Rhamira. Armed with concrete proof of the Neretzes plot, Rhamira wasted no time, stripping Phadon of his comforts and ordering him dragged from house arrest directly into the deep dungeons beneath the keep.
Next, Adinea sought out her superior, Lord Yaqus, the ex-Aserai now-Imperial Master of Whisperers trusted by Empress Ira for his vast connections. Presented with the gold, Yaqus offered only a cold dismissal. Adinea knew her mentor too well- a master spy never ignores a bloody trail. The sickening realization set in that the man who trained her was part of the conspiracy. His only response was a low, chilling warning for her to stand down and let the tide take its course.
The Master of Whisperers has turned traitor. Phadon sits caged in the black cells. And in the quiet palace chambers above, Empress Ira is about to awaken to a court built on lies.
So I've been trying to siege this Western Empire town as a vassal for Vlandia, and so I make a army of like 1,300 troops but even when I have THAT much in my army the enemy's always make a relief army to stop me before I can fully break down the walls or build all the trebuchets in that 4-trebuchet reserve trick. Can anyone help me? Edit: I did it :D. my trick was building 2 siege towers and a ram and leaving the enemy siege engines functional because I didn't have enough time and just hoping it worked... and it did! Also just wanna say thanks for all the help and stuff! (Also this is my first time sieging a town specifically with my OWN army and commanding it MYSELF so thats a bonus!)

You know, those guys that have like 200 of armor in fucking head, torso and foot, just found a way to kill them buut i can't find those bastarda
we all got fucked after the screenshot
Im on steam and I'm using mod db
Downloaded the game for the first time in a few years. Last time I played I was very disappointed by the fact that you seemed to get basically no return on caravans and especially workshops. Has that changed? I'm not playing with War Sails if that matters.
I’m on console and I feel like my elite cataphracts don’t to squat. I send 400 of them charging into 20 peasants and they don’t lance or anything and just kill like 2 on the first pass then group around them and slap them with pool noodles.
Any way to get them to couch lances?
Hi all

My son is in a separate party, and I recently had him get married. If I put his wife in his party, will they be able to have children, or does it only happen if they are in a settlement or my own party?
