DISCLAIMER:
It’s a FANMADE revision and in no way attempts to be a continuation of the original mod. All the changes included are mostly just a patchwork of different elements borrowed either from other M&B mods or other games.
FEATURES:
-Interface overhaul (finally it has this genuine western feel with lots of wood and crimson red hide)
-New more western-ish in-game font
-Original text colors changed (green, red and blue text was unreadable with the new interface so I changed it mostly to black)
-Several textures (Blood, posters etc) replaced with fresh ones (blood is now more crisp in my opinion but if you disagree you can replace it with the old ones)
-New smaller hud and crosshair (it may not be perfect but it works way better in my opinion)
- ...and finally... the most important fix.. NO MORE buffer crashing! (which happened to be an issue for me and others) I included the enhanced edition of M&B with the mod that seems to fix it.
I really wish I could change a few more things like:
-Deleting the unfinished „storyline” quests that mostly lead to nowhere and replacing them with the randomly generated ones that you would get from the bartender or a random person on the street (like buffalo hunting, horse stealing, indian scouting or whatever)
-Adding better more era-appropriate attire for women npcs
-Better forts
- ... and more but I’m afraid I lack the skill for all that
NOTES:
-1866 works ONLY with the original Mount&Blade game. You’ll need the serial key in order to run the original Mount&Blade (You can try your Warband serial Key I heard it worked for some)
-For those who don’t want to mess with their original Mount&Blade folder just copy: font_data.xml from Data folder and copy all 373 textures from the Texture folder into your directory (1866 uses core Mount&Blade interface and font so if you want to have it replaced with the ones I made you gotta either use the Mount&Blade version that I included with the mod or do as I mentioned)
Have fun fellow cowboys

If there is someone out there who is good at programming and modding in general and wishes to put some more life into this awesome mod. Contact me through an inbox. Maybe we'll squeeze even more juice from it before the Bannerlord comes out... and before some decent and stable mods will be released for it (I count another 2 years for that haha).

Just so you know, switching the render method in the launcher options from Direct X 9 to Direct X 7 seems to permanently fix crashes.
There's no music and the game crashes when you enter settlements. I'm so disappointed, there used to be a perfectly functionnal version around and now we're doomed.
just download the original 1866 mod for mount and blade
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!
I downloaded this mod, then went to Programs86 on my computer, and then to "Steam", then to "Steamapps" and then to "Common" and then to the folder of Mount and Blade, then "Modules" and the I extracted the file in there. But it doesnt work. No mod shows up when i start the game, I only see the "Native" icon.
Please can someone help me. I played this a few years back, it was so fun, I loved it. I dont like the new 1860s America Gabrilduro mod.What am I doing wrong here?
Your game keeps crashing when entering towns. I have applied the 4GB patch.
Can you please address this issue?

Could anyone make a video or tell me more in depth how to download this mod? It looks very good, but I am pretty bad with the technical side of computers and don't understand how to download it. (I have read the descripting but still don't understand)
!!! BUG !!!
This mod has same problem like original 1866.
If you use shotgun rifles - kills dont give you exp.
But also shotgun most powerful and disbalanced weapon in game.
Part of mexican elite soldiers carry them.
Firefight with them almost impossible.
