The most is the most popular total conversion mod on Steam Workshop and on Nexus Mods. I suggest that everyone who didn't try to try it.

The documentation about careers is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hARAlm3EfUIu3giGik_kzca6_38B5Y4wkf0P99wnigI/edit?tab=t.h9dgv37c5

The generic one is mercenary, can learn a bit of magic, a bit of martial arts, can get a vampire kiss, and can change its career later but is the most generic career. There are 3 vampiric bloodlines: Von Carstein, Blood Knight, and Necrach. Necrach are great wizards with an insane high WoM (Winds of Magic). Blood Knights are tankish brutes. Von Carstein are incredibly powerful battlemages, capable of wreaking spell destruction and, at the same time, being extremely powerful at melee. Necromancers are the unique non-vampires that can raise the undead.

Then, there is the Empire. Imperial College Wizard is like a sanctioned psyker but less grimdark. Instead of living in a cage, they live in a gilded cage. Warrior priest of Sigmar is the typical cleric and/or paladin. Warrior Priest of Ulric is the same but for another deity and can't heal. Witch Hunter is the guy that goes to hunt unsanctioned casters.

And Bretonnia. Damsel of the Lady, Knight of Bretonnia, Knight of Mousillon, Mousillon is the typical haunted region of Bretonnia. Think of them as Dark Paladins. The elves have Spellslinger, Grey Lord Wizards, and Waywatcher.

Each faction is unique. Vampires have hordes and hordes of undead serving them. Bretonnia has crazy powerful cavalry. Empire has the artillery. Elves have magic (humans are limited to only one Lore of Magic).

I'm limiting the answers to a few weeks because I believe that they are working on Dwarfs for the next update.

________________________


I only played as a Celestial Imperial Wizard, as a Necromancer, and as a Von Carstein. I would say that by far Von Carstein is the most ridiculous OP career so far. Almost as much magic as my Celestial Wizard. And almost as many melee powers as my best companions. Self-heal fly, which allows you to destroy enemy siege weapons during sieges. And you can use the heaviest weapons and armor with zero penalty to WoM regen. There is a perk that makes headshot kills (yes, it includes melee head kills) recover WoM. And getting hits on the head is crazy easy during sieges. However, my favorite class is the Celestial Wizard.

Most Warhammer games that feature Imperial College Wizards restrict you to the Bright Order. I'm glad that in this mod, I can be a celestial wizard. Celestial Wizards rocks. If a Bright Wizard can get a lot of tactical gains by burning stuff on the battlefield, a single Celestial Wizard can by using divination to locate enemy logistical hubs and decision-making centers, followed by wings of heaven spells and lightning strikes into enemy logistical hubs and conjuring hailstorms into enemy crops could win a war before the war even starts(and invest in agriculture before doing it)

Only I here played such marvelous mod?

Anyway, since many people here like Dwarfs. With Ironbreaker as a career : https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Ironbreakers

their update said:
Source : https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-old-realms/news/monthly-devlog-march-2025

As we have made evident, the Dwarfs are one of the two new playable factions coming to The Old Realms and as such need a culture screen(Thank you Sergio!), as well as careers for players to immerse themselves in.

And will include Orcs too.

and it's not even 1/10 feature complete. that's how catastrophic the bannerlord modding state is.

More like it shows what a great idea a full-fledged high fantasy mod for Mount & Blade is. Which is a bit ironic since Mount & Blade was originally made and appreciated as a counterargument to those typical fantasy action rpgs.

no, because "warsword conquest", exactly "warhammer m&b" but on warband, is full, has way more features, and it's not as huge. it only shows how starved for something to do the bannerlord players are.

Elves are much easier to implement. Dwarves requires messing with AI pathfinding and strikes for very small targets, requires complete new models, if new stuff like their warmachines and runesmithing implemented, a lot of new stuff, new weapons, models, armor, scale the existing stuff to smaller models, horses would need changes, under the mountain cities to be built.

Much harder than elves.

But they will implement Dwarfs probably in next update.

Yes, but warband has DECADES of well documented modding, Bannerlord mods are starting to grow.

"warsword conquest", exactly "warhammer m&b"

I tried to play it. It crashes. IDK if is because I'm using Linux, but as I've said many times, I will only use M$ spybloatware if a employee requires. I will NOT use this shit OS for free. Don't matter if I really want to play a mod or a game.

Most M&B mods aren't fantasy.

Are historical mods.

you have your answer.

No, is not. Bannerlord doesn't have a native Linux port. Yet run flawlessly with every mod that I tried. Warband has, I never even had to install the M$ spybloatware version to run ANY warband mod, from star wars to historical mods. I had to use the M$ spybloatware version under proton and ... The mod crashed.

Anyway, I'm liking bannerlord a lot. Is not as bad as many people depicts.

Thanks. I had a bit of trouble making steam run WSE and the M$ spybloatware version of M&B but did it.

I will see if Warsword conquest is better than the old realms

Will play as a Celestial Wizard. Again.

M$ spybloatware is such shit OS that I will only use it if I'm paid to use it/if my employee requires.

EDIT : Played a lot of Warsword Conquest. Is good? Yes. Is better than the old realms? No.
