This Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord mod will turn it into Lord of The Rings

You'll soon be able to enter Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord's battlefields as your favourite Lord of the Rings heroes and villains, thanks to an upcoming overhaul mod called Kingdoms of Arda. The mod will transform Bannerlord's campaign with new quests, companions, and new locations such as a Middle Earth map. Alongside this, an additional story mode will let you play out iconic battles from Tolkien's history, switching heroes and units in a game mode inspired by Battlefront-like Lord of The Rings: Conquest.

As modder Macbeth of Gondor explains, Kingdoms of Arda has been in the conceptual stage for years now, but the recent addition of official modding tools to Bannerlord has brought many of their ideas that much closer to becoming reality.

The Kingdoms of Arda team mentioned in a recent ModDB update that they "had the pleasure of being included in the testing phase of mod tools," and "worked with Taleworlds to test and learn the tools". The new tools mean the team can start work on the campaign, coding factions, settlements, troops, and much more.
