Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord update 1.28

Talesworlds Entertainment is on a streak, though I’m unsure whether this is something worth bragging about. After the launch of the War Sails DLC, the studio has now released an update in three consecutive days.

Today, players can download Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord update 1.28/1.029 (complete version 1.029.000), and this once again slots in fixes for both the DLC and the base game.

For the complete list of changes, read on.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord’s Third Straight Update Brings It to Version 1.28/1.029

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Update 1.026

Here are the latest round of fixes per the developers.

War Sails v1.0.4

Changes

  • Reduced enemy reinforcement ship count from 3 to 2 in the “Free the Sea Hounds’ Captives” quest.
  • Increased cargo capacity for all ship types.
  • Increased Trade Ship prices to better reflect their improved trade capacity.
  • Reduced the cargo capacity cost of pack animals to avoid overly penalizing trade gameplay and to reduce potential issues for AI nobles. Still subject to balancing efforts.
  • Vlandian and Sturgian mariner troops now use culture and tier-appropriate shields.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused the naval storyline alley-fight dialogue with Gunnar to trigger inside the port scene, which would cause a crash.
  • Fixed a bug that caused pirate parties to have too many ships.
  • Fixed a bug that caused ships from disbanded parties to be distributed incorrectly among clan parties.
  • Fixed a bug that caused inventory capacity tooltips to display incorrect weight values.

Bannerlord v1.3.8

The following changes are part of the base game and apply to the War Sails expansion as well.

Changes

  • Reduced the bow skills of Fian Champions and Khan’s Guards. This reduction should have a more pronounced effect on naval combat (War Sails) than on land battles.

Fixes

Improved lighting for night and overcast atmospheres.

Crashes

  • Fixed a crash related to mounts that occurred while saving the game.
  • Fixed a crash related to expanded tooltips on the campaign map.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when attempting to retreat from an army during a siege.

Will we get another one tomorrow? I wouldn’t be surprised if we did. After months of no updates, we finally get a deluge, though these are patches that are needed to fix bugs.
