Warsword (Mount & Blade / Warband). Top 10 Mods for Mount & Blade to Sweeten the Anticipation for Bannerlord
Table of Contents
Several weeks ago we published an article listing the many games that were created and produced in the universe of Warhammer – and yet it is only a fraction of the PC offer available for the players, as there is also a variety of mods to choose from. Some of the more prominent examples are Warsword and Warsword Conquest, designed for, respectively, Mount & Blade and Mount & Blade: Warband. In both cases, the premise is the same – Calradia is converted into the Old World, and the original factions are replaced with races known from the Warhammer universe, such as people from different lands, orcs, dwarves and elves (forest, dark and high), as well as vampires, Skaven and Lizardmen. The creators rebuilt the character editor, providing the gamers with the opportunity to play as representatives of each of these races. The mod also offers extensive realm management options, tons of new items and various features to enjoy by the fans of games and books from the Warhammer Fantasy universe, such as the option to recruit Felix and Gotrek to our team.
Warsword and Warsword Conquest are similar in terms of the richness of content, however it’s the mod for Mount & Blade: Warband that turns out to be more recommendable. Although the last released version (May 2014) is marked as beta, Warsword Conquest contains fewer errors, especially after installing a patch of sorts (bug fix). What’s more, the players who still wish to transform Calradia into the Old World in Mount & Blade must deal with installation of the mod that’s a little bit more complicated and the fact that in all probability Warsword will not be further developed in any way, since the last version of this project was released almost five years ago.
