Hosting a Mount & Blade: Warband server
Mount & Blade: Warband is a medieval action RPG from TaleWorlds Entertainment, released in 2010. Alongside its sandbox campaign in Calradia, it has multiplayer battles with up to 64 players in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Conquest, Battle and Siege modes.
TaleWorlds offers dedicated server files on its own Warband download page, and the game supports the Steam Workshop. The Napoleonic Wars DLC is sold separately on Steam.
What to compare
- Slot count. Battles of up to 64 players need a plan sized for them. Compare price per slot if you only want small duels or team fights.
- Module support. Check the host lets you install the module your community plays, and upload your own files.
- Admin control. Look for easy access to the server config so you can set maps, modes and admin passwords yourself.
- Location. Melee combat is sensitive to lag. Choose a datacentre close to most of your players.
