Monthly devblog May 24 news - The Old Realms mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

Hello everybody!

Another month has passed, and we want to show you what the team worked on.

World map

• adding several different factions to the map

Scenes

Mootland

new Features:

We are pleased to announce our third resource : Chivalry.

With Chivalry, the player can buy Bretonnian nobles and will have to maintain higher knights like questing knights and Grail Knights. But the resource has another twist as well… At the beginning of the playthrough, the player starts as Unknightly and has to climb the Bretonnian society ladder by gaining more Chivalry. Knightly acts (or better: acts that are perceived as such let you raise your Chivalry level, which in turn the harsh early game debuffs, slowly but steadily to buffs reducing knight wages and increasing the troop's morale.

Warning prompts

We know our mod is very content-heavy, and lots of our mechanics are not directly accessible. Even more frustrating can be final immutable decisions made by dialog options. While we like gameplay impacting decisions, we certainly don’t want you to make your decisions by accident. We therefore will introduce in gameplay altering events warning prompts that will allow you to make an informed decision… like a sip from the wrong grail?

new UI Extensions : Display additional troop information

We introduced in the past playable versions many special rules and attributes, you might know of, but potentially never read or have an in-game way of reading about such. We therefore introduce a new hover icon in the troop trees and the party screen, providing additional information previously inaccessible by regular means.

New ROR recruitment

Regiments of Renown (ROR) has been reworked and these troops can be recruited via the regular Recruitment menu.
