Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Latest Update Released on November 28 Applies Fixes

War Sails v1.0.3

The following changes are specific to the War Sails expansion and are not part of the base game.

Changes

• Added a warning and blocked launching the title if the versions of War Sails and Bannerlord are not compatible. This can occur after a patch release when there is a delay between the downloads. Launching the title with such a mismatch would cause a crash. You can verify file integrity to resolve this.
• Repairing ships now grants Boatswain XP.
• Doubled the Shipmaster XP gain for travelling on water.
• Scouting XP is no longer given when travelling on water.
• Slowed down the enemy ships in the final battle of Hunt Down Emira al-Fahda and the Corsair quest. Also decreased the consort ships’ maneuverability to give players more time to try again after an unsuccessful ram.
• Increased the turning arc of basic and fire ballistas on ships. They should now allow you to shoot at the “Floating Fortress” while still circling it in the storyline mission.
• Increased the time allowed to return to the naval playable area during storyline missions from 10 to 30 seconds.
• Improved GPU performance during the final Naval Storyline quest mission.
• Changed the culture of several helmets used by the Nord troops to Nord, making them available in their towns.

Fixes

• Improved the ability of troops to find the last remaining enemy units during naval battles.
• Fixed a bug that caused all troops to have the same face in naval battles.
• Fixed the ship connection errors that occurred during Quest 5 Phase 2.
• Fixed a bug that prevented you from exiting the storyline from a hostile town.
• “Amnesties For Pirates” kingdom policy fixes:
  • Fixed a bug that caused garrisons to be overflown with troops, bankrupting clans in the process.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the 5% daily chance from working.
  • Instead of merging all members of the pirate party into the settlement’s garrison, only some members (~25%) will join the garrison.
