Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord - War Sails DLC

What Is Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord — War Sails DLC?

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord — War Sails DLC (TR) Steam is an expansion pack that adds sea voyages, fleet management, and extensive naval battles to Bannerlord’s single-player world. Expanding Calradia’s borders northward, the content broadens the strategic scope of the main campaign with new regions, coastal routes, open seas, and the Viking-inspired Nord faction.

This product is not a standalone game. To use the content, you must own the Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord base game on your Steam account. War Sails combines existing systems such as land battles, diplomacy, trade, and settlement management with naval mechanics.

What Content Does the War Sails DLC Offer?

With War Sails, you can acquire your own ships, build a fleet, travel along sea routes, and engage enemy fleets in real-time combat. Wind, waves, and currents affect how ships move. Therefore, naval battles depend not only on the number of soldiers but also on route selection, ship control, crew formation, and weather conditions.

• Naval battles: You can ram enemy ships, target their oars or hulls, and board them with your crew.
• Ranged attacks: You can use archers and ballistae to target enemy sails, soldiers, or ship equipment.
• Fleet management: You can choose from various ships designed for warfare, trade, and fishing to create a fleet suited to your needs.
• Ship upgrades: You can equip ships for different roles with components such as rams, siege weapons, improved sails, and additional cargo space.
• Naval blockades: You can support sieges by using your fleet to cut off supply and reinforcement routes to coastal settlements.

The Nord Faction and New Northern Region

The expansion pack adds the Nords, known for their seafaring and close-combat culture, to the playable world. Northern islands, frozen fjords, coastal settlements, and taiga forests create new campaign routes. In these regions, you can recruit Nord troops, build relationships with clans, trade, or fight for control of the territory.

New trade goods, pirate activity, shipyards, and maritime convoys also affect the campaign economy. Because coastal city security is linked to maritime trade, a powerful fleet is valuable not only in battle but also for protecting trade routes and expanding sources of income.

Ships, Soldiers, and Character Progression

War Sails offers ships for warfare, trade, and civilian use inspired by historical designs. Ships differ in speed, carrying capacity, maneuverability, and combat role. You can purchase new ships from shipyards, add vessels captured in battle to your fleet, and modify their equipment according to your campaign plans.

New maritime skills support character progression in areas such as navigation, naval tactics, and fleet command. Sailor units that are more effective in naval battles, new companions, Nord-themed weapons, armor, hairstyles, beards, and tattoos further expand the customization options.

Custom Naval Battles and Gameplay Options

You can create custom naval battles without playing through the main campaign. By selecting details such as the hero, faction, fleet formation, crew, season, wind, and time of day, you can launch battles on river, coastal, or open-sea maps. This mode is useful for players who want to try different ships and tactics without undertaking a lengthy campaign.
