Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord – Bannerlord Online Mod Available

Imagine TaleWorlds Entertainment’s sandbox RPG Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, but it’s now an MMO of sorts where you can explore Calradia alongside 799 other players. Well, if that sounds exciting to you, you don’t have to imagine, and instead, you can go and download the Bannerlord Online mod that lets you do exactly that.

Quite appropriately for an early access game, the mod itself still needs some work, but according to this PC Gamer article, it already works.

Here’s what you can expect right now:

Bannerlord Online not only provides a multiplayer experience but provides a complete sandbox experience that is as close to the original as possible.
Complete cooperative experience on the global map
Every squad, battle, bandit hideouts and other events are fully synchronized.
Time doesn’t stop during battles – move around the world, visit cities, trade and fight in the arena while other players participate in battles.
Join existing battles to turn the tide of battle.
Player progression
Starting to play as an unknown character, you will gradually find allies and opponents in this world.
However, each hero now has a real player behind it, not a scripted AI.
Unique perks specially designed for multiplayer, as well as a redesigned experience bar for each skill.
Player controlled economy
The players themselves produce raw materials and deliver them to the workshops while working in the villages.
Workshop owners produce food, weapons and armor, and then deliver a finished product to the market.
The finished product is in demand by military units and serves as an aid in military campaigns.
Team up in caravans with other players for effective trading
You can always find goods on the market that should be delivered to another settlement.
You can equip the caravan alone, but it’s safer and more fun to do it with your friends!
Of course, the combat system!
The game cannot be imagined without battles! Now there is support for 100×100 battles, and in the future, the limit will increase to 200×200!
Almost all weapons that are in the original game are supported.
Fight in the arena in cities or engage in real, bloody battles!
