Community Tales #2



Greetings warriors of Calradia!

Before we jump into another edition of the Community Tales, we wanted to address some of your questions regarding the 1.2.x version series. To begin with, we made the Beta v1.2.0 publicly available earlier and are keeping the series in beta longer than usual - in order to more effectively collect and respond to a broader range of community feedback. Thanks to your help, many important issues were addressed in the hotfixes v1.2.1, v1.2.2 and v1.2.3.

We are currently working towards v1.2.4, which will be followed by another testing round. Naturally, the preparations for the cross-platform live release are ongoing as well - our priority, however, is to ensure a stable release.

Without further ado, let’s jump right into the #CommunityTales.

[h3]Bannerlord Native League #3[/h3]
The Bannerlord Native League 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!

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 the 17th of September to sign-up as a team or you can alternatively sign up as a free agent here.

P.S. We’ll be joining in on the fun with our own TaleWorlds team so make sure to take part for some whack-a-dev!



[h3]Senatorial Wrath - Bannerlord Calradic Campaign #19[/h3]
Calradic Campaign is a community-driven multiplayer event that involves organized large-scale battles and lore-inspired campaigns, often with role-playing elements, shaping the outcome of a shared narrative in a continuous stream of events.

Bannerlord Calradic Campaign #19 is taking place on Saturday, September 16th, 4:00 PM EST.

You can check all the details, including how to join, on their Reddit page.


[h3]Arnas, Harry & Neil played Bannerlord at Insomnia![/h3]
Our friends at Nowalls attended the Insomnia gaming festival in Birmingham, UK which took place last Saturday. Actors Arnas Fedaravicius, Harry McEntire, and Neil Newbon clashed their swords in two Captain matches with the Sturgian side ultimately taking the battlefield and vanquishing the Vlandian troops.

We had great fun watching the stream. Which team were you on - Sturgia or Vlandia?

You can watch the VOD of the stream here.

While you have been able to listen to most of the included tracks during your Bannerlord playthrough, you can now relax your mind with the help of the Vlandian Vielle or get energized alongside a Sturgian Tagelharpa directly through the Steam Library.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the composers for producing music that helps breathe life into the world of Calradia. It transfers us into the land of strict nobles, harsh battles, and cheerful tavern folk.

Finally, we would like to thank you, our community, for being part of the journey and we hope that you enjoy listening to the tunes as much as we do.

You can find the Soundtrack on Steam.

It will be released on other platforms like Spotify in the future as well.

The bearded babies of this Mount and Blade 2 mod may mean I never sleep soundly again




Look, I'll level with you: This is a small mod. A trifling mod. A mod bagatelle. But it's also possibly the worst and most wonderful thing I've ever seen, so here I am writing about it and here you are reading about it...
