Given that the mod is labelled as "early access" and Bannerlord itself is also still in early access, I would expect some wonk. Given the game’s success and awesome singleplayer, people have been bugging TaleWorlds to implement a co-op feature in the next game Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord so that they can play singleplayer with their friends. Many players loved the successful game Mount and Blade: Warband. You can download Bannerlord Online from Mod DB. The Co-Op Mods that Bring Multiplayer Campaign to Bannerlord. They say that 800-player server is the only one available right now, though European and American servers are planned.

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. You see, a new addition to Warband is a much greater emphasis on Kingdom Management, and diplomacy allows for a great deal of freedom in that department. 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.
