Monthly Update April 23 news - The Old Realms mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

The map expansion: The environment and lore team were working on their maps but also expanded heavily on our content for the upcoming update. Starting on two regions, Montfort and Parravonne, we wanted to go bigger.

We are pleased to announce that we will expand on our plans for the world map. Instead of just 2 regions, we will see in the update 8 new dukedoms of Brettonia.

Starting as announced previously from Montfort, and Parravonne, around the Massif Orcal, there will be found the following dukedoms:

• Bastonne: lead by Bohemond Beastslayer
• Bordeleaux: lead by Duke Alberic de Bordeleaux
• Aquitaine: lead by Duke Armand d’ Aquitaine
• Brionne: lead by Theodoric of Brionne
• Carcassonne: lead by Duke Huebald of Carcassonne
• Quennelles: lead by Duke Tancred II de Quenelles

While the dukedoms are smaller in size and people, their combined strength should not be underestimated by whoever steps into the lands of Brettonia. Overall, the expansion is massive, the new content will make 1/3 of the total playable area.

The lore team thereby is busy working on all descriptions, every little village, castle, or castle-town from the south of Carcassonne to the north of Montfort, got or will soon have a unique description. Besides, the lore team was also very active in the description of unique character clans and their associated dukedoms. We will reveal the map once it is ready, so far, we can only provide a little outlook of the Castle de Bordeleaux and Brionne in a work-in-progress state.

Community Challenge: We wanted to use this occasion to announce a new community challenge. A lot of described heroes need some love, and we want to include our fans in the design process. How cool would it be if YOUR version of for example “Duke de Cassyon” the leader of the dukedom of Parravon will be encountered by the player?

All Conditions about the challenge, and how to create and extract your character design can be found on the discord in the following week. Discord.gg

Code:

The Coding team worked on new campaign mechanics, which will be highly relevant for our currently empty “faith” perks. It will be big. We hope we can provide you more information about it soon.
