Persistent Kingdoms
Hello, we're a small team that played PW together for years. Around two and a half years ago we (or our predecessors) founded a server on PW. The server has been up since that point, having its ups and downs (For those that are interested, PW is still very much alive - 200/200 slots filled every day at peak times). Recently, a poll was made on whether we should make a custom PW mod. The community responded positively so we decided to start working on the Persistent Kingdoms mod.
Persistent Kingdoms Features
Persistent Kingdoms is a multiplayer mod based on Persistent World. It was never our intention to completely change the original version, but simply improve it and give the mod a fresh spark to reignite the interest of the multiplayer M&B Warband community. Most if not all of the PK features were developed based on communities requests and wishes.

Persistent Kingdoms 1.2 Changelog
Hello!
We have finally managed to conclude the next chapter of Persistent Kingdoms - Version 1.2. Over the past months, we've have been developing this version with breaks in between. Overall we're pretty happy with the changes we've implemented and we're sure you will like them as well. There's always room for improvement and we'll most probably continue to work on the mod but on a smaller scale, depending on the motivation of our team. Without further ado, here's the 1.2 changelog (there has been too many changes to represent them all with pictures so we invite you to download the mod and check them yourself :) ).
New spectator mode
Server owners will now be able to enable another spectator mode. After a player dies the spectator camera will be locked above their position so that they can spectate the remainder of the fight until they respawn.
Horses and players are now healed based on the time
It has been the case so far that if you wish to heal your horse or yourself with food and a bed you have to hold F on the designated scene prop until the bar fills up after which your health increases. From now on your health will increase based on the amount of time you held F, which comes very useful in events where you have to hold F for the complete duration of the bar filling despite needing a very small health increase.
Day/night cycle added (optional)
We have added a day/night cycle to the mod that is completely optional and can be enabled via the server configuration. The length of the cycle is dependent on the number of seconds set in the server configuration (you can have multiple cycles per day). Credit to the SRP team.
New animations:
- Begging
- Praying
- Pike stance
Item changes & Scene prop changes:
Item changes:
- A pig/piglet
- An executioners axe
- Rings & earrings
- 17 new RP clothes
- 2 new crowns
- Letter item
- Great bascinet texture replacement
- Plated charger texture replacement
- 3 new assassin hoods & 3 assassin armours
- 3 new mercenary armours
- 1 new plate
- 7 new special weapons added (royal sword, royal greatsword,...)
- 2 new playable instruments - Vielle & Flute
Scene prop changes:
- New enterable buildings (keeps, townhouses,...)
- New tents
- New small rowing boat (usable)
- Buy points for weak spawn weapons added
- 2 new notice boards
- Various new RP scene props (wall paintings, tapestries, flags,...)
Mod optimization:
Revamped animation system.
- Animation restrictions have been done differently which means that the animations now have a very smooth transition and are much more performance friendly.
Bump & specular textures optimized
- All bump & specular textures have been resized to a lower resolution. This has no visual effect but will in theory increase FPS slightly.
Mod cleanup
- Despite adding a large number of new resources to the mod we have managed to decrease the size of the mod by 100MB by removing unused resources and optimizing textures.
Shader check
- All items received a check in terms of shaders to ensure everything looks as it should in-game.
LOD’s were added to all items that didn’t have them.
- Certain items were missing LOD’s which more or less better the performance of the mod by loading lower quality models in the distance. The missing LOD’s were generated and added to the mod.
Administration changes:
- Faction ID's were added to most logs.
Support for custom banners added
- Server owners can now assign custom banners to anyone via scripts. This is useful for RP servers where even commoners want to proudly wear their heraldic colours.
Bug fixes:
- Glitchy indestructible doors were fixed.
- Show pouch to nearby players logs fixed.
- Walking mode bug fixed.
- CWE scene props fixed on DX7.
- Other smaller bug fixes.
Miscellaneous:
- Wooden poles were removed from CWE walls.
- Early transitional armour transformed into a heraldic item.
- New banners added.
- Other smaller changes.

I would like to share some of my screenshots so you might use them as propaganda on the mod's "images".
How can I do so?

Was super excited when I first read about this mod but then I saw that it's multiplayer.. and cried from inside. I'm not a huge fan of multiplaying, so is there any plans for singleplayer?
There are no plans for singleplayer, sorry.
When I downloaded it and tried to open, I got the error "The archive has the wrong format or is damaged" Will you help?
Try using a different zip program to unzip the .rar file to the one you are using currently. That should do the trick. Otherwise use Steam to install the mod.
Buenas entre al server 4 creo que era el tenia menos ping para mi y me andaba a 10 fps le baje todo y igual me andaba mal, y no se ingles, entonces no entendí casi nada el objetivo del mod, ahora estaría bueno que lo saquen con parche en español y mejoren la optimización del mod ahí si estaría muy bueno
Are there any north american servers for this mod left? or is it just european ones?

When I searched the server, the game didn't respond, the version was correct, the script was correct, but I don't know why I didn't respond when I searched the server. How can I solve it?
