Sail the high seas, lead mighty fleets, and forge your legacy in War Sails, a major single-player expansion pack for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Bringing naval warfare to Bannerlord for the first time, War Sails lets players command powerful ships, engage in thrilling sea battles, and master maritime conquest.

Embark on daring naval adventures with new mechanics, territories, and challenges. Customize your fleet, conquer settlements, and carve your legend on the high seas!

MEET THE NORDS, A NEW VIKING-INSPIRED FACTION

Chart your course to the Northern Kingdom, home of the fearless Nords—legendary seafarers and masters of close-quarters combat. Explore a land of jagged peaks, vast taigas and freezing fjords, where scattered settlements rise like ships from the sea. A bold adventurer may trade their goods, recruit their warriors, join their ranks or challenge their rule. Will you join the North or seize its riches?

MASTER NAVAL WARFARE

War Sails introduces a unique and immersive naval warfare system that has been inspired by accounts of actual medieval sea battles. Featuring realistic wind and water physics, ship-to-ship combat lets you board enemies from multiple points, ram them, or attack from afar.

Captains can seize opportunities by boarding already engaged ships, prepare for an incoming attack by creating a floating fortress or take a risk to tie down several enemies at once - giving their allies an edge elsewhere. They may ram an enemy ship to sink it - or at least throw men off board, shatter oars and compromise buoyancy. Well-placed arrows and ballista fire can also tear through sails, further crippling mobility. 

EXPLORE AN EXPANDED WORLD

Calradia has been reimagined with a northern region, a settled island, coastal waters and open seas. The dynamic weather system was also refined to include storms and trade winds. Ships move faster when riding the gales, but beware—attrition can unravel even the best-laid plans.

The naval systems and Nord faction integrate into Bannerlord’s world, reshaping trade, warfare, and diplomacy. Ship production and new trade goods add regional variety. Coastal towns may grow rich from this — if they can fend off pirates and naval invasions.

Sieges have also been adapted to naval warfare. Armies will have to bring along a fleet and set up a blockade, if they want to stop supplies and reinforcements arriving over sea.

LAUNCH SEABORNE RAIDS

Seaborne Village Raids bring a new dimension to both campaign and mission gameplay, deepening naval strategy in the process. With the right fleet composition, commanders can strike coastal settlements from the sea, disrupting enemy logistics while using the water to evade defending lords. Fleets raid coastal settlements from sea or rivers on the campaign map, before battles unfold in new amphibious scenes where warbands land from ships.

BUILD YOUR FLEET

Command 22 unique ships, from nimble trade vessels to towering war galley. Includes 17 warships, 4 trade ships, and a civilian fishing ship - each modelled after historical vessels, with distinct handling shaped by realistic wind and wave physics. They can be customized with siege engines, cargo holds, sails, rams, and more. Shipyards build and stock vessels based on their town’s culture and development. Players can also capture ships and figureheads in battle.

EXPAND YOUR ARSENAL

The character system has been extended with Nord hairstyles, beards, and tattoos. Three nautical skills were added that enhance navigation, tactics, and stewardship. There are also many new items including spears, swords, axes, shields, and armor.

Troop trees now include mariner troops that are more effective at sea. Players can also recruit new companions with maritime backgrounds.

LEARN THE ROPES

A new questline introduces players to the seas of Calradia through cinematics, scripted missions, and classic Mount & Blade gameplay. Learn how to command your ship, then take it into battle against a pirate confederacy. Lead a growing fleet of newfound allies as you face a range of nautical challenges.

CUSTOM NAVAL BATTLES

Command fleets your way. Set up and customize your own engagements - choose your hero, faction, and fleet composition, from ship types and randomized upgrades to crew type balance and composition - then set wind, season, and time of day across River, Coastal, or Open Sea maps. No campaign needed.

ENHANCED AUDIO

The sounds of the sea come to life with new Mediterranean and Nordic-inspired musical tracks. Experience rich soundscapes with piercing winds, crashing waves and creaking ships. Feel the heat of battle as steel clashes and sailors cry out.
