A civil war is raging in the game world of Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord: the ruling empire is on the verge of disintegration, new kingdoms are rising up at its borders that want to seize power.
Unfortunately, as a player, you don't notice too much of it, because – apart from some looters and bandits – you never see yourself exposed to too much danger. The new mod Calradia at War wants to change this now.

Civil war with barbarians and cultists
In order for the open world RPG to become as chaotic as the general plot actually dictates, the mod brings 21 new factions into play, which have even been given all their own troop types.
Modder Anopey describes his mod as follows:
"The added chaos also complicates the management of the economy, since caravans can actually be looted and villagers captured. All of this is intended to make the game more immersive and actually let you experience what it's like to be in a war-torn country, not one to make a name for a stable, economically strong country. There are others who are trying to make a name for themselves, to make a living, or to pursue more unorthodox goals. "

Mount & Blade 2 – This game is unrivaled and that's a problem
Three of the most exciting factions
Barbarians: The barbarians are nomads who mainly hide in the mountains of the north, to which they were banished by the more civilized peoples. The chaos caused by the civil war now makes the barbarians braver again.
Insane: The mentally ill, who were often physically deformed and had little sense of ethics, were used in Kalradien as food on the war front. Those who managed to survive were then trained to be scary and fearless soldiers. The peculiarity of the mentally ill faction is that they put the weakest and the strongest infantry unit in the game at the same time.
Desert cult: The goal of the desert cult is to get rid of all unbelievers from Calradia – they believe that they can bring peace back. To strengthen their ranks, they capture and brainwash hikers in the desert. Because of their power, many people now voluntarily join the religious cult.
