Now Let’s check out some of the most recent creations from our community.
[table noborder=1] [tr] [td][/td] [td]Adventurer by Carter Drake With this mod, you can focus on the solo part of the gameplay, via the random encounters while waiting in towns, sparring with heroes, escorting any caravan outside of the quests, additional dialogue options, and more.[/td] [/tr]
[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.
You can follow the outcome of the duels on their live tournament brackets here.

The Calradic Campaign team is organizing the thirty-second event in their Bannerlord series. Join up for some hack & slash on Saturday, 6th of April at 20:00 UTC on their Calradic_Campaign server using their Module.

Osric's Bay
Come join us next Saturday as we test a new Siege scene on a large scale with up to 500 players on the same server! Playing in the event will also grant you three times the Loot & Exp that you would normally get.

Date & Time: Saturday, 9th of March, 19:00 UTC
Server Name: Osric's Bay
Game Mode: Siege
Now Let’s check out some of the most recent creations from our community.
[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. The choice is removed, as you get both the perks no matter which one you pick. 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. Additionally, the player can gain a health boost, Influence, Roguery and Leadership skills based on affected enemy and ally units, respectively. [/td] [/tr]
[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! [/td] [/tr]
The Bannerlord Native League #4 we mentioned last time is close to an end. The finalists for all eight divisions are now known, with the top Division A finals being played between Destiny Masters and Vineyard Workers tomorrow at 19:00 UTC.

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.

Patch v1.2.7 has been released to Live! This means all of the Beta v1.2.x version series changes are now on the main branch.
Unfortunately, the character/word limit on Steam Announcement posts isn't enough to allow us to share the patch notes in their entirety with you here. Instead, on this occasion, we have to ask that you head on over to our forums or our website where you can read the v1.2.7 changelog in full.
We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you enjoy the many changes that the patch brings!
Welcome to the fourth edition of the Community Tales! Before we highlight the new creations and events, we would like to share more on the progress of the v1.2.x version series. Recently, we’ve released Beta v1.2.5 which addressed a plethora of issues, brought improvements to the settlement garrison balance and tweaked the combat AI by introducing a larger fighting skill gap between lower and higher skilled troops.
Furthermore, Dedicated Server files have been made available for Beta, we’ve made a number of balance adjustments based on your feedback and added the ability to favorite servers. Finally, modders can now explore the new and improved moddability of the World Map, the bulk shader compilation (which reduces module loading times) as well as the ability to define and use your own decals.
Finally, as 1.2.5 grew larger than expected, the previous November cross-platform release estimate will likely not be met. Having said that, this month still saw significant progress towards a release in the next few weeks. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and continued support as we strive to deliver a stable and well-rounded patch.
A big thank you to everyone who has provided feedback, reported a bug or uploaded a dump report.
[table noborder="1"] [tr] [td][/td] [td]Elite Mercenaries Expanded by TheMerc This mod introduces new mercenary troops, with historically-inspired appearances and loudouts, with some having uniquely crafted weapons. It allows you to recruit higher tier mercenaries more easily as their troop trees consist of tier 5 and tier 6 units. All the mercenaries can be found only in the towns of their culture.[/td] [/tr]
[tr] [td][/td] [td]Random Events by Phill544 Spice up your gameplay with the many different random events this mod provides - anything from various illnesses and getting ambushed by bandits to recruiting eager soldiers and helping the refugees you meet along the way. Many of these events have multiple choices that ultimately shape the kind of adventurer you want to be. [/td] [/tr]
[tr] [td][/td] [td]BattleStats by OneZ Keep track of your personal, your clan members’ and troops’ stats from battles you fought together. The information provided includes total kills, personal record, kills per battle, times wounded and total number of battles. [/td] [/tr]

The BNL administration team has done wonderful work with the organization and maintenance of this tournament and we hope to see many more iterations of the Bannerlord Native League.
Below is the final table of the top 3 division A teams, as well as the winners of all the other divisions.
