Given that the mod is labelled as "early access" and Bannerlord itself is also still in early access, I would expect some wonk. Update: Earlier this week I tried out Bannerlord Online, a mod that turns Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord into an MMO. You can download Bannerlord Online from Mod DB. They say that 800-player server is the only one available right now, though European and American servers are planned. It 'should' execute and install itself when you start up your first MP session. It sounds unlikely but the folks at cheery RPS fanzine PC Gamer had a play and said it worked surprisingly well considering they were playing on a Russian server across the Atlantic. Originally posted by Morkonan: Bannerlord multiplayer uses 'BattlEye.' (Third-party anti-cheat program.) Its an included companion program downloaded and included in your base Bannerlord download. On that front, it currently supports 100x100 battles, with plans to go up to 200x200. The devs say on the Mod DB page that it has a player-controlled economy, with players toiling in the fields and such to produce raw materials that others can turn into the food, weapons, and armour needed by armies. The idea is to have hundreds of players filling the roles usually taken by NPC leaders. But apparently it is real! The first version launched on Sunday, so you can try it now.īannerlord does have multiplayer, but it's limited to specific modes rather than the full world-roaming experience. Every now and then, along comes a mod which sounds such an impressive accomplishment that my first thought is: "That can't be real." Such is the case with Bannerlord Online, which turns the singleplayer sandbox warfare RPG Mount & Blade 2 into an MMO with hundreds of players running around raising armies, battling, and working jobs.
