Full Invasion 3 is a multiplayer cooperative PvE mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, in which players work together to fight hordes of computer controlled enemies. It is produced and developed by Wave 53 Studios, currently headed by Maroon and Borridian.
Its predecessor, Full Invasion 2, is still the most popular multiplayer module in Warband's long and decorated history. Be sure to join our Discord server and follow our ModDB to stay notified of any news and updates in the future.
The first version of the mod is available now!
This mod only works with Bannerlord version 1.2.9!
So what kind of mod is this?
In Full Invasion 3, you fight together with other players to defeat a large horde of enemies. Your objective is to defend several capture points, similar to the Native Siege gamemode. As you fight, you progress into better classes and equipment through your weapon masteries and your class' level.
Excuse me? Masteries and levels?
That's right! We've created an entirely new progression system, that ditches the gold system used by Native. Instead, we make use of two methods to track your progression: Skill Mastery and Class Level.
- Skill Masteries work essentially the same as proficiency in singleplayer: if you use a skill, you get experience for that skill's mastery. Increasing your Mastery in a skill unlocks better equipment in that category, and is required to unlock higher tier classes. This means your Mastery levels carry over between classes too.
- Class Level indicates your character's experience with the current class they are playing as. Progression to your class level is made by gaining any kind of experience while playing as the class, and it's used to unlock better armour and horse armour for your class. Logically, your class level does not carry over between classes.
Please note that Full Invasion 3 does not make use of persistent progression, and never will. That means that your progress is tracked in a match, but once the match is done, your progression resets!
This system is still being developed, and will be much expanded in the future. One of our goals is to include (almost) every skill from singleplayer in a meaningful way to Full Invasion (for example: Engineering for using/maintaining siege equipment, Scouting for... scouting, Leadership and Charm for bolstering your allies, and much more).
The "Full" part of "Full Invasion" (pending)
Note: The current version of FI3 is an early one, and only makes use of Native factions. The upcoming versions will gradually introduce more factions.
What makes Full Invasion unique is that it combines factions from all different eras and worlds into one mod. Want to fight as Napoleonic line infantry next to a Teutonic Knight, fencing off invading Uruk-hai? Full Invasion is the mod for you!
So grab your friends, or make new ones on the battlefield! Full Invasion 3 is the ultimate Bannerlord mod for an amazing multiplayer cooperative experience.

Changelog
Major additions
- Added 3 new maps:
- Mecalovea by Sheepbitter

- Ruins of Sasamu by Sheepbitter
- Added bosses to the invasion! Bosses spawn every 10% of the invasion healthbar, so there are 10 boss waves in total.

Minor additions
- The loadout UI has had a facelift, replacing placeholder assets with gorgeous new assets created by Czar.

- Added a nice custom loading screen for the mod.

- Fixed the scoreboard not updating when it should.

Guys there is no install guide included, cant find one on the page ether
This is amazing.
can't wait for this
I hope FI3 under Bannerlord Engine would be much smoother
the kings are coming back mates
how will it be done? Will it be like the bannerlord but with coop features or will it be just battles? I really wish there was a mod where I could conquer Carldia along with him, form armies, participate in sieges and help him on the battlefield, I'm waiting for a mod of this warband, I expected TaleWords to coop the game, but it didn't happen
This is just a sequel of FI2 for Warband, it was only focused for multiplayer PvE matches with many different factions to fight and defend. It has nothing common with CooP campaign.
