M&B - Mount & Blade Warband TOP 10 mods

[wwsd]

I keep forgetting which of the Game of Thrones mods is which. Which one is better, and why? It happens all the time: I download them both, play them for a while, and then forget about it.

This is for the original M&B, but anyway:

Too lazy to check which version these mods are for (I can check later) but I liked... Wait, actually spent dozens of hours in each mod and probably more on vanilla(s), so I can't give too many ideas. All M&B + M&BWB:

Brytenwalda for fucking sure
The Last Days (LOTR)... damn that actually makes me want try it.
1257AD
Pre-Battle Orders & Deployment - Not sure if it was a different mod, but there is a mod that let's you command your troops tactically.
Blood and Steel... I think? Can't remember if I played "Sword of Damocles" either.

I've heard good things about Prophesy of Pendor but I never played it.

And anything including a Diplomacy feature, if not the same or based off the Diplomacy mod itself.

There's also a mod that increases the limit of troops that can be spawned on the battlefield. And a possibly good WH Fantasy mod.

I used this: https://mountandblade-mods.net/ as a source, it seems quite thorough and updated.

Haven't got time to play it but I thought Phantasy Calradia looked neat.

and after three years, prophesy of pendor hasn't received a single update yet.

^ That. Pendor is now at 3.84 or something and was updated within a couple of months.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

Current Features:
As of right now, the mod is only in a semi-playable state. Luckily, most of the "core systems" have been made and tested, so adding features can be done relatively quickly. Current features include:

- Travelling system with worldmap as scene borders

- Locations such as towns, castles, bridges, ruins, bandit hideouts, training grounds, secret locations

- Full-size towns, improved castle + village scenes, new random scenes based on region (eg plains near Praven look different from plains near Tihr)

- Land features such as rivers, mountains, shorelines.

- Mountain and river terrain is passable, though often it is still faster to go around mountain ranges. No ocean travel yet.

- New shaders, darker shadows, more ground types

- Weather effects include wind, moving clouds, thunderstorms. Weather is dynamic in scenes, cloud amount will increase/decrease in real-time, with rain/snow and storms able to start and stop within the scene.

- No more "regular recruits", every recruited NPC is given a name and treated as a companion, with player party size maximum of 140

- Persistent names for all NPCs

- Improved town walker/villager AI, larger crowds in towns

- Hunting, around 12 different animal types can appear based on map region/terrain, animals avoid player, but can be gotten nearer when dismounted and/or upwind.

- Real-time looting, NPCs killed by the player can be looted for their armour by striking the corpse

- 18 factions: The 6 Warband factions have each been subdivided into 3 "provinces" that begin as allies yet are fully unique, independent kingdoms. 6 faction troop trees still need to be completed.

- 6 types of encounter parties unique for all 18 factions/regions: Kingdom Patrols, Merchants, Mercenaries, Manhunters, Farmers, Bandits.

- Unique soldier type for all towns and castles: Using the same unique soldier templates from Nysne - every castle and town has a single unit type specific to that location that can only be recruited by the Lord. (e.g. Radoghir Foresters, Distar Guards, Praven Knights, Hrus Spearmen, etc...)

- Weapon/Armor/Horse merchants sell region-specific equipment

- Combat AI improvements, better blocking/target picking/pathfinding

Note that this list does not include features that are half-finished, everything I mentioned here is fully functional, though they could all use more polish.

 

[Merlkir]

Could be pretty awesome, if Ruthven doesn't lose interest.

 

[Siveon]

I'm worried it's gonna run like SHIT. Like y'know, most of Mount and Blade.

 

[janior]
