1776 American Revolution (Warband). Top 10 Mods for Mount & Blade to Sweeten the Anticipation for Bannerlord
Table of Contents
If Assassin's Creed III made you eager to delve deep into the history of the United States, then Gabrilduro's mods for Mount & Blade: Warband are the right choice. As the title suggests, 1776 American Revolution takes us back to the period of the American struggle for independence. It’s a full conversion that replaces the original map with a large expanse of North America and populates the universe with representatives of the various historical factions. The player can choose whether their loyalties lie with the settlers pursuing independence, the British trying to maintain the status quo at all costs, or even Native Americans who consider both warring groups to be two sides of the same (evil) coin. Of course, in addition to completely new locations, items were changed beyond recognition as well, with firearms being the most notable example. All in all, this mod is characterized by great attention to historical authenticity and focus on the adventure-related aspect of the game rather than strategic approach.
The mod is now available in version 1.5, which can still cause problems due to some imperfections, but it is still a good idea to try it out – the more so because the author probably won't develop 1776 American Revolution any further. Speaking of the creator, it is worth mentioning that Gabrilduro has developed other mods in similar settings, namely 1755 Old Frontier (Anglo-French conflict during the Seven Years' War, which is the same period as the one presented in Assassin's Creed: Rogue) and 1860's Old America (the Civil War presented in a spaghetti western style).
