Noldorin Worlds: A Fantasy Mod for Mount & Blade: Warband
Noldorin Worlds is a free mod for Mount & Blade: Warband, a standalone expansion pack for Mount & Blade. The mod aims to bring fantasy elements into the role-playing strategy game and is set in a fictional medieval world by default. Developed by Anxie, a single developer and fan of the game, Noldorin Worlds introduces new factions and troops, while utilizing the native map of the game.
Mount & Blade: Warband is a game that allows players to participate in a fictional medieval land named Calradia in a role-playing game format. Players can battle, trade, and manage a fief. Warband is a standalone expansion that adds additional elements, such as a sixth faction, more political options, multiplayer modes, and the ability for players to start their own factions.
Noldorin Worlds aims to inject Mount & Blade Warband with fantasy elements, something that the base game does not include as it is more of a fictional medieval setting. This includes several new troops and factions, complete with unique attire and attributes. However, the game uses the native map, so the setting should be familiar to seasoned players of Mount & Blade.
Noldorin Worlds is essentially a content mod for the game. There are no changes to the gameplay itself, but it does give players who are fans of the game something new to try. The dated graphics may be a turn-off to new players, however.
