Before we dive into this month's #CommunityTales, let us briefly touch on the future of Bannerlord! During our release, we shared our intent to continue supporting the title with content updates - which has led to new features such as Fog of War, Retirement, Player-owned Alleys, World Map & Mission Weather, Formation Targeting, Warehouses, and Multiplayer Taunts among others. We want to reassure you that we're still on this path and working towards future updates. We share your enthusiasm for what lies ahead and although it will take a while longer to finalize the new additions, be confident that they are coming.
In the meantime, we encourage you to continue sharing your feedback and ideas with us. Your input plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Bannerlord, and we value your ongoing support.
We would also like to invite you to the next official Multiplayer event. Hope to see you there!

[table noborder=1] [tr] [td][/td] [td]High Middle Ages Calradia by Maty743 This troop overhaul mod changes the unit aesthetics and performance to be in line with the high Middle Ages. The mod adds a number of weapon and armor variations for each unit, a complete rebalance of the troop trees, as well as a desaturated color palette for uniforms and banners, aiming for higher immersion.[/td] [/tr]
[tr] [td][/td] [td]Nords of Sturgia by Snusmumriken This troop overhaul mod expands troop trees by making a distinction between three main types of soldiers - irregular, regular, and noble, each in their own separate tree. This offers alternative ways of adjusting army compositions and aims to rebalance starting factions in a way that pronounces both their weaknesses and strengths. [/td] [/tr]
[tr] [td][/td] [td]My Little Warband by LL Muse If you want a fully unique custom troop tree, this is the mod for you. With this mod, you can customize both regular and noble troop trees, allocating attribute points and denars towards shaping each troop and its upgrades to perfectly fit your personal playstyle.

[tr] [td][/td] [td]DeReMilitari by Luke Danger This troop overhaul mod expands troop trees by making a distinction between three main types of soldiers - irregular, regular, and noble, each in their own separate tree. This offers alternative ways of adjusting army compositions and aims to rebalance starting factions in a way that pronounces both their weaknesses and strengths. [/td] [/tr]
[tr] [td][/td] [td]Europe1100 by Rodimus This mod is a historical conversion based on Europe at the turn of the 12th century. The mod leverages Lemmy's Europe Map, adds a host of historical factions, cultures, clans, individuals, troops, and settlements - all appropriate to the time period. [/td] [/tr]
The European Duel Tournament is on the way with its sixth edition. The EDT is a community-organized duel tournament, often with attractive prizes for the winners. Its format dictates that the duels are to be played with one of the six one-handed swords offered, without shields, and FirstTo7 wins.

[table noborder=1] [tr] [td][/td] [td]Take Both by Anti Hero If you have a hard time picking one of the two presented perk choices, this mod is for you.

This feature can be made available to both the player and NPCs through the menu options, and the mod is save-game compatible.[/td] [/tr]
[tr] [td][/td] [td]War Cry by TR-YalnızKurt Want to feel like a brave general shouting a battle cry to your troops? You can do so with this mod, and it also provides health regeneration to injured allies, boosts friendly troop morale, and diminishes enemy morale.

[tr] [td][/td] [td]Bodyguards by carbon With this mod you can have a separate group of guards defending you in combat. The guard troops operate independently and won't respond to regular commands. The number of guards scales up based on party size, they can be customized in number and composition, and assigned to controllable formations. Appointing companions to your guard is also possible!

For those unfamiliar with BNL, it is a community skirmish tournament where teams are split into divisions - with six teams in each division. One match is played per week against the other five teams. This leads to some epic competitive fights with teams on similar footing, with more skilled players in higher divisions!
In the previous installment, BNL#3, our own TaleWorlds team participated, and while we can`t say we had many great victories, we sure did have a lot of fun!
This iteration of the tournament also comes with a heavy prize with more than 200.000 Loot up for grabs.
Thinking of signing up? You have until tomorrow, 20th of January to sign-up as a team or you can alternatively sign up as a free agent here.
