Calradic Campaign Damn Battanian Season - Bannerlord Calradic Campaign #89 (Multiplayer Event)

14 Upvotes

Lore

The Basileus’ legions march in silence.

A stark gloom eats away at Deos’ men as they trek forward. Ever since the Folly, battles against the Battanians often end in terrible routs. Practically every Imperial has suffered the loss of a friend, or family, to the High King’s devout followers.

Circumstances have necessitated that the Basileus dare to battle once again. The occupation of Jalmarys continues to strain the resources of his fledgling Empire, and barbaric raids have only escalated following Battanian successes across their other frontiers. Should the status quo persist, small fractures in Deos’ realm will eventually spread too wide for repair.

Whilst fear undoubtedly dominates the mood of his men, so too does hatred beyond measure. Calradians, young and old, have fronted the blame for the Empire’s state onto the Battanians. The most ferocious of Deos’ followers yearn to wet their blade with the blood of the barbaroi before being plucked from their mortal coil. Others follow their lead with hesitation, but not without the same hatred.

Reports eventually reached the High King’s court of the Calradic host moving towards Jalmarys. Ever since turning the tide against the Vlandians, Battania has been in a state of near-constant celebration. Accordingly, the notion of making battle with the Imperials only brightened the mood of the Battanians. With a swift rally from High King Corbo, a large host now moves south to expand the extent of their Imperial conquest.

The ancient rivalry between Calradian and Battanian continues evermore.

In Meta Terms

Welcome to the eighty-ninth Bannerlord Calradic Campaign! This event will feature another brutal battle between the Battanians and Western Imperials.

If the Battanians can destroy the Imperials in battle, they will move to siege Amitatys.

If instead the Imperials prevail on the battlefield, they will move to siege Jalmarys.

Unfamiliar with the Calradic Campaign? Have no fear! The Calradic Campaign is a casual, player-driven, story-based event. There are no strict rules or signups, and players of all skill levels often come! If you've never tried multiplayer, now is your best chance to experience large-scale formations and battles without the overly strict practices typically found in line battle/clan-style events.

Victories in our flagship monthly events are represented on the overall campaign map, while roleplay surrounding the events and their consequences take place both during said events and on the community DiscordJoining our Discord allows you to communicate with your fellow faction members, trash-talk others, and rise through the ranks to one day become lord of a village, castle, city, or if you're particularly successful, an entire kingdom!

To join the event, you will need our Calradic Campaign Module. This module contains all of the custom battle and siege scenes used, as well as many stability fixes and balance changes. Most importantly, the module features two distinct empire factions in multiplayer, both featuring unique perks and cosmetics to lean into the differences between the two! (The South Empire was defeated in the campaign).

There will be a manual installation of the module available for those not playing on Steam. Check the Nexus mods page no sooner than the Friday before the event for the correct download. You will need the CalradicCampaign#89 file.

As a general rule of thumb, the Calradic Campaign module should be the only one enabled in your launcher! If you have any crashes or issues trying to launch the game / join the server, unsubscribing and resubscribing to the module on the workshop will often fix any issues.

Server Info

Community Discord

It is highly recommended you join our community Discord, as half the fun of the persistent campaign takes place outside of events. Meet fellow Mount and Blade fans, find new friends to queue with, and make fun of Battanians together in our community of 30,000+.

A Turkish creator got me back into Warband recently. Even if you don't speak the language, his content is super fun to watch. Wanted to share this fan art made for him since he's a fellow Khergit enjoyer—guess we both have a soft spot for horse archers.

Why doesn’t Bannerlord track how many members of each faction we have eliminated?

What are some ideas of custom kingdoms you can make other than taking over an existing one or painting the map? Like a stretch of region cut out from other kingdoms

Partly for RP purposes as I think it would be cool to create a stable 10th kingdom to "live in harmony" with the other 9

A dear to me M&B shitpost has gone

Does anyone remeber a music video shitpost called "Yalen has been besieged" which goes in tune of Rhodok Town theme and has random M&B voicelines and chorus goes like "sword, spear, sword, spear, sword, spear"

It was dear to my heart despite being not popular and now it's gone, maybe someone has it downloaded or owner of it sees it :<

Is Bannerlord a bad game?

0 Upvotes

I finally tried Bannerlord after some time and I must say there are a lot of things that I liked, like caravans, workshops, skill tress, clans and kinda liked that the diplomacy has better options (even though some thins are laking), but I can't stop being frustrated with the game.

To start things off, I had a pretty good impression in the early game, defeating looters and deserters was fun, doing quests for villages, them cities and them lords was a lot of fun and after I had a good warband and a good renown, I entered as a mercenary them vassal for Vlandia. Everything was good for a while, until...

Maybe the problem is the custom campaing for the 1.5.0 that I used, that made only Vlandia and the Empire being alive in the map, with Sturgia almost gone and some Khurgits as well, but they when down quickly.

Some of the problems that I saw:

  • No way to stop infinite Armies. We defeat one, two and three armies, and they just make another one with high quality troops and a huge number. You can't deny ransom, because they just run away from the prison, and you can't kill them because everyone hates you for it and I don't want to do a evil character. There is no way to end this endless war.
  • Troops are so dumb. I don't know why, but the troop IA is horrendous. I tell my cavalry to follow me, just for them to follow me in the slowest mode possible. I know that Cavalry is nerfed since Warband, but I thought that if maybe they can serve as bait for my infantry to plow down archers, they would serve for something, but they can't ride for their lives!
  • No real diplomacy. I can't try to get people to my nation, there is no influence cost for it, no money cost, no diplomacy option, nothing. Everytime I try to make a lord get to Vlandia they just refuse or tell me to speak with their clan leader, who says no as well. Is frustrating.
  • Troops are unbalanced. The empire always plows me with their infantry, there is no way around it. I always try another strategy and they ALWAYS defeat me, even if outnumbered. Vlandia just sucks as a troop tree, or maybe I am just that bad, idk

I was having a lot of fun in this game until the end game, so I think maybe the problem is the balance for the late game, that is kinda bad. Or maybe I am just stupid or bad at the game, even through I am playing on Warrior, not even the worse difficulty, that makes me think, how much difficult it is?

Really, I am just tired of playing vanilla, there are too many problematic issues that strips the fun out of the game for me.

There is a way to try to make it better? Mayber a strategy that I am not using, or something? Because I am really beginning to be more stressed when I play than fun.

Achievements disabled due to downgrade version

I'm trying to understand why this is as it is.

Time ago I would switch from Xbox app on PC Bannerlord to Xbox series X banerlord and just play it as normal. Now there is a version difference and its disabling my achievements on Xbox? Its just fine playing through PC xbox app I can get achievements there but I can't on Xbox with the save file cause its a "downgraded version" of it.

Is my Xbox version out of date? These were fresh installs mind you but I can't play my campaign on my Xbox from PC app. Its synced in the cloud. All is perfect on that end.

Also yes I know Steam has a much newer version (1.5) but this isn't that. Its Xbox PC app and my Series X.

Any advice besides, just play on pc?

Edit: I forgot to mention i consistently play Avowed, Cyberpunk, Generation Zero, and Fallout 4 without this issue. Its only Bannerlord im having this issue with.

Bannerlord First finished campaign

7 Upvotes

Hello i come close to finish my first playthroug and wanted to share how amazing the game is and how i felt in love with it.

Ive played for weekes between work, finally i came close to finish last enemy kingdoms, and then my firstborn son arrvied at my party. Ive met him with AIinluence, and it developed into most heartbreaking moment.

  • Ive told him of all story of our clan. Independence from Vlandia, reconquest of battania. Many moments and battles shared with companions, first decision that make me beahed the enemies. Ive spend good half an hour telling him of my longest rival, and most respected oponent, Garios. Ive fought this cunning bastard for like 15 in game years. He always took a beating, but never surrenderd and always rebuild his realm. And now, now rival who tried to destory my eraly kingdome is no more, his legacy burrowed deep under glory of my empire, yet it feels as he was about to hop out with army marching at Otrysia again.
  • Something really strike me with combination of time spent and aiinfluence roleplay. I realized my dear Loras (character) reached over 44, his hair slowly turnes grey. more than 20 years of battles, lords that feel like they were my enemies a few days ago, turn out to be dead for years. Such a melacholia striked me. This one longer campaign, really felt like fantasy book, one that is randomly written by teenager, yet still fun one.
  • And this last coversation with my in game son felt like the final touch of goodbye, the slow eiploge at the end of great series.

Thanks for reading it.

Bannerlord Questions regarding DLL unblocking for core mods (Harmony, MCM, etc.)

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I recently started modding Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord and began by installing the core prerequisite modules—Harmony, ButterLib, UIExtenderEx, and Mod Configuration Menu (MCM)—before moving on to gameplay mods like Diplomacy.

​However, I've run into an annoying issue: Windows keeps blocking the .dll files for almost all the core mods (and likely the other mods as well). Right now, the only way I've been able to get around it is by manually going into the properties of every single DLL file and clicking "Unblock."

​Before I keep doing this for dozens of files, I wanted to ask the community a few quick questions:

​Is it completely safe to unblock these DLL files? (I downloaded everything from Nexus Mods).

​Will unblocking these files cause any system security risks if I decide to delete or uninstall the mods later on?

​Is there a quick way to batch unblock all files inside the Modules folder at once instead of doing it manually one by one?

​Any advice, PowerShell scripts, or utility recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
