Host a Game – Developer TaleWorlds has provided you with all the options you could want in terms of setting up a server. With the character created you are faced with two choices: Next up is the same physical character creation tool you used in single player and finally you get to choose your banner. Sadly you have to start from scratch by choosing a name and faction. It seems a bit of a shame that you can’t just port your single player campaign character into the multiplayer side of the game.

In this M&B: Warband Multiplayer Guide we’ll run through the options and offer up a few hints and tips to get you started on the path to glory. Now you can hack, slice, maim and stab up to 64 friends and strangers across 12 specially designed multiplayer maps in your choice of 7 multiplayer modes. The new multiplayer modes in Mount & Blade: Warband have ramped up the medieval action by a few notches.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is available now via Steam’s early access program. This can help increase your One-Handed, Two-Handed, or Polearm skills (seen below): When you’re on the offense and most archers have been eliminated, you could climb up the ladders and stab or bash enemies that are clustered together. You’ve also got arrow pouches to refill your ammo and stones that you can drop on their heads. For instance, there are times when attacking soldiers would just mill around next to the walls and you can freely snipe them to increase your Bow or Crossbow skills. You can also exploit the inept AI during sieges. Since siege battles will often favor the defenders, it can lead to disastrous losses if you’re on the offensive. If the enemy still has a considerable force, auto-resolving isn’t advisable unless your Tactics skill is high enough. “Lead an assault” means you’re part of the attack and commanding your forces “send troops” means you’ll let the AI handle the siege via auto-resolve. Note: The decision panel that appears once the siege camp is ready is similar to that of regular field battles, and you’ve experienced plenty of these in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Alternatively, you can send your troops which will auto-resolve the siege. For instance, the trebuchet can be aimed at a general direction (W and S keys), but you can’t control how high or low (or how distant) it’ll fire. Likewise, you can choose to play a siege battle manually by leading an assault, and you’ll be able to use the siege weapons you’ve built. You can choose to let a siege run its course until the defenders are wiped out by starvation, but it’ll also cost you a lot of time and food. Likewise, hostile armies can start surrounding you and defending forces may sally out to do battle. Also, whether you’re attacking or defending during a siege, it’s possible for your engines of war to be destroyed by the opposing force’s own contraptions as they duke it out on the campaign map.

Your Engineering skill determines how fast these objects can be built. barricades – part of the siege map archers will use them while firing.ladders – part of the siege map infantry will use them to climb walls.siege tower – provides defenses for units assaulting the walls.trebuchets – anti-infantry I’ve never seen it destroy walls.Likewise, there are multiple slots that let you construct siege engines. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord – Sieges and the Engineering skillįirst, whenever you besiege a town or castle, you’ll need to prepare a siege camp (seen above).
