"Awake O Dead, for there can be no rest for ye beneath the earth. Let the splintered bones burrow from the grave pall. Let cold fingers grip time-worn blades, and unseeing eyes survey the fields of slaughter. For your time has come once more. And the dead shall walk."

Hail brothers and sisters, welcome to The Old Realms!

The Old Realms is a Mount and Blade: Bannerlord modification set in the age of Karl Franz’s ascension to the throne.

The Setting:

We aim to capture the grim dark nature of the Warhammer Fantasy world with the intention of delivering the best possible experience for the player. The Old World will have the player meeting and fighting (Or WAAAAGHING!!) alongside legendary characters such as Karl Franz and Grimgor Ironhide, as well as exploring well known locations such as Karaz-A-Karak and Castle Drakenhof.

The Inner-Circle:

What started off as a small team with immense passion for both Mount and Blade and Warhammer Fantasy has quickly become an ever-growing project filled with a mixture of dedicated people.

What we plan to release:

The overhaul will be released in different stages. The first stage will include the Empire of Man, the Vampire Counts. From this point forward we look to expand upon the Old World itself and include as many of the factions and significant locations as we can with time.

The overall end goal is to recreate the entirety of the Old World within Bannerlord, ensuring all factions and locations are lore accurate and immersive while maintaining the sandbox elements that make Mount and Blade so enjoyable.

You can read up on our planned features over on the Talewords Forum.

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.
