Star Wars Conquest (Mount & Blade). Top 10 Mods for Mount & Blade to Sweeten the Anticipation for Bannerlord
Table of Contents
It would seem that substituting Calradia for a "galaxy far, far away" is a mission even more daring than turning Mount & Blade into a manga-style zombie extermination simulator (see H.O.T.D.). Meanwhile, Star Wars Conquest is considered by many to be the best mod to that game ever made. While compared to the previous modifications, the numbers might be less impressive – we are given "only" three factions (Empire, Rebellion and the Hutt Cartel) that have merely several units at their disposal – but the scale of the project and the level of execution are truly something to admire. How do you find the opportunity to visit hundreds of different planets whose graphic elements are unlike anything you've seen in the "core" version? Or the completely modified gameplay mechanics, changed in order to properly reproduce aspects such as space travel, mastery of lightsaber or shooting blasters? In short, Star Wars Conquest is filled to the brim with the atmosphere of the sci-fi cult classic; the quality of the entire product is so impressive that some critics went so far as to say that it puts to shame almost every official game set in the universe created by George Lucas.
Unlike almost all previous mods described in this article, Star Wars Conquest does not have a version supporting Mount & Blade: Warband. What’s more, the modification has not even been completed – the last released version is marked with number 0.9.4, and nothing indicates that this state will change – the creators were sucked in the black hole called real life and no longer work on the project. Nevertheless, Star Wars Conquest is a complete product rife with content, and what's more, it doesn’t seem to have many technical problems. This work is highly recommendable. Well, unless you suffer from an incurable allergy to science fiction...
To finish up this article, let me give you a word of explanation addressed to those who expected to read about another great mod set in a popular fantasy universe – A Clash of Kings based on A Song of Ice and Fire (or Game of Thrones, if you will). I left out this particular work, as we are soon going to publish a larger article revolving around it in the near future.
