Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord was launched a couple of weeks ago and has received a positive reception from critics and fans alike. It is currently one of the top games on the Steam charts with almost 150,000 concurrent players. However, a new game almost always has some bugs, and the developers at TaleWorlds have been hard at work to make the player experience even better. Recently, update e1.1.0 was released which fixes a whole lot of crash issues. The game should run much more smoothly after the update. You will also now get a notification whenever your Clan is being attacked.

Save & Load
- Prevented the main storyline epilogue pop-up from reappearing every time the game was loaded.
- Fixed a save system backwards compatibility problem with saving primitive data types.
- Game now loads skill levels correctly from savegames created with versions prior to 1.1.0
Campaign Map
- Added a middle layer for nameplate visibility on the campaign map. We now have a stage where players can see both towns names and castle names
Battles and Sieges
- If a player’s fortification is besieged, they are warned by a text that appears in the top center of their screen. (Beforehand it only happened when the assault was already underway. Now we have 2 warnings - one when the siege begins and one when the assault starts.)
Clan and Party
- If a player’s clan party is attacked, they are now informed with a center top notification.
- The recruiting frequency of lords who are in a good financial situation was increased. They will now try to fill their party limits more frequently.
- Fixed a bug that caused the consumption of more than 1 horse when we upgraded a troop to a mounted soldier while having several types of horses in our inventory.
Kingdoms and Diplomacy
- Executions now also cause negative relations with honorable lords (if the executed is honorable too) and negative relations with friends of the executed. Additionally, we added further notifications for these consequences.
- Mercenary minor factions no longer join kingdoms they are at war with.
- Players can now fire mercenary factions they hired previously via dialogue. Players are asked to pay an appropriate wage per remaining influence. (Normally, we convert 20% of their earned influence to wage per day.) If the player rejects payment, they lose relations with the mercenary clan leader and the contract is cancelled.
- Player’s mercenary payment per influence was stable after they entered a kingdom. Now it is refreshed every 30 days.
- In some cases after a kingdom had been eliminated, the lords continued to spawn in a map location that is not reachable (near Rhesos Castle). They now spawn at a random settlement gate of their culture.
Economy and Trade
- Caravans are now seen as more valuable targets by bandits and minor factions, which means that they will be attacked more. This will increase the number of battles that involve caravans. Previously, caravans were a nearly totally safe investment. Now bandits and minor faction lords sometimes attack caravans even if they are a bit stronger.
- The pottery shop was very profitable - by creating 2 pieces of pottery (80 denars each) from one clay (20 denars) and doing this 4 times a day. Now one clay produces 1 pottery and pottery demand is halved to make its0 price more stable.
Other
- Fixed the age of the player's brother.
- Further fixes for NPC weight and build parameters as well as some NPC age fixes.
