MOUNT & BLADE II: BANNERLORD

PC Gamer US Edition|August 2020

Great mods are available already.

- Christopher Livingston

We had a long wait for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord to finally reach us—about eight years, by my count. And the moment it finally arrived in Steam Early Access at the end of March, the modders pounced. Mods for Bannerlord began appearing almost immediately, and continue to arrive every single day. The Mount & Blade games have always been flexible, and the newest entry is no different.

And already we’ve seen some highly creative mods, including a trio that are all based around the same theme: Yelling. A mod called Screamerlord, for instance, lets you use your voice to give orders to your troops while in combat. Your real voice! The name is a bit misleading because you don’t need to actually scream—just talking into your mic will do the trick. If you like yelling, though, you should go for it, because there’s definitely something to be said for getting really immersed in your character.

The mod uses VoiceAttack, a speech recognition program. It’s a premium voice tool, though there is a free trial you can use to see if it’s something you want to pay for. The free version of VoiceAttack will let you use 20 different voice commands for Bannerlord, while a paid version will unlock 50 of them. It doesn’t take long to set up and configure, and before you know it you’ll be galloping across the battlefield and giving orders to your soldiers by simply saying them out loud.

Special Report- Stacked Deck - Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
