Turkish game developer TaleWorld’s 2012 masterpiece Mount & Blade: Warband drew a lot of attention from the gamers, especially from the RPG fans. The singleplayer threw players in a vast, open-ended world with plenty of options but that wasn’t what made Warband stay alive for 8 years.
Considering the fact that from a technical standpoint, Warband was outdated even when it came out, the game should have been dead years ago. The graphics are 15 years old and the sound design is not too shabby either. But what kept this game alive were 2 things: an amazing gameplay with an easy-to-learn-but-extremely-hard-to-master combat and the huge modding community. Ever since the game was launched, developers welcomed the modding community and the game was open to all kinds of modifications and this gave way to thousands of different mods. And if you are still one of those people that play Warband regularly, we have compiled a list of the best Mount & Blade: Warband mods for you to change things up.
12 Mount and Blade Warband Best Mods
We have also added download links of all mount and blade Warband mods below there description.
1. The Last Days of the Third Age
One of the best total conversion mods that was created for the original Mount & Blade was conversed to be able to run on Warband. As you can understand from the title, this mod lets you play the events of the Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings novels. All the factions of the Middle Earth are available for you to play as and there are many fun side activities. There are different races with different bonuses/penalties and all of the gear and items reflect the Middle-Earth. If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, this mod alone is worth buying Warband for.

2. Decapitate and Dismember
Mount & Blade: Warband has one of the most simple-looking yet really hard to master combat systems. The directional attacks and blocks make each encounter a test of reflexes and guess. During all that, landing a perfect slice to your enemy’s neck feels extremely satisfying, but what if told you that it can get better? As its name suggests, Decapitate and Dismember mod lets you decapitate and dismember your enemies and watch their heads and limbs fly off.

3. Bear Force 2
If you do not own the original Mount & Blade and therefore cannot play the brilliant Star Wars mod that is Star Wars Conquest, Bear Force II is probably the best Star Wars total conversion mod for Warband. It is a multiplayer only tactical shooter taking place in the Star Wars Universe. It has 6 factions with each having multiple different classes and a unique shooting and force system. From normal infantryman to jet troopers to using force with Sith/Jedis, there is a lot of detailed, fun content here for Star Wars fans.

4. Full Invasion 2
If you ever feel lonely in the vast world of Warband, Full Invasion 2 can spice things up with its co-op survival formula. You can team up with other players and battle countless waves of invaders and bosses to survive as long as possible. There are various different maps, classes, enemy types and bosses. As it is one of the most fun mods to play with your friends, it is no surprise that it has been rated by the community numerous times as the most popular multiplayer mod.

5. Blood and Steel
Blood and Steel is like a semi-total conversion mod; it changes a lot from the vanilla game but does not create a whole new universe/story. It rebalances a lot of the mechanics, improves visuals and effects, a new economy and adds hundreds of new items. If you have played the vanilla singleplayer and got bored from it, this mod is a nice change of pace.

6. H.O.T.D.
If you are bored from the classic medieval style of the vanilla game or all the other mods and just want to try something entirely different, H.O.T.D. (short for Highschool of the Dead) is probably the craziest Mount & Blade: Warband out there. You are thrown into a Japan that is infested with zombies and you try to survive with various weapons, characters and enemies. There are 4 factions: high schoolers, police, the Takagi mob family and the zombies themselves. It is not without its problems but if you want to turn Warband into something crazy and unrecognizable, this mod takes the cake.

7. Gekokujo
If you like Japanese history or anything samurai-related, this Warband mod is for you since it takes the game’s singleplayer into the Sengoku period of Japan. Just like the vanilla game, you will start from nothing and attempt to gain control of the entire country. The mod itself contains more content than the native game: 32 towns, 72 castles, and 161 villages. Of course, entire weapon, armor and item inventory is changed to fit the theme of the era and there a whopping number of 20 factions.

8. Warsword Conquest
Right now you may be asking “Is there a fantasy world that isn’t modded into Mount & Blade?” and the answer to that is probably no. Warsword Conquest is a total conversion mod for Mount & Blade: Warband that takes us into the world of Warhammer. There are races from the books such as orcs, dwarves, elves, vampires, Skaven and Lizardmen and you can play as any one of these. Of course, just like any total conversion mod, there are new weapons, armor and items. If you own Warband and like Warhammer, it is a no-brainer.
Download it here.
9. A World of Ice and Fire
Another great total conversion mod for Warband that is featuring another awesome fantasy world, A World of Ice and Fire takes us to the world of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. You create your own house and challenge the Seven Kingdoms and try to claim the Iron Throne by battling and betraying your opponents. The mod is complete as it stands today and it was last updated in this June. There are a plethora of new armor sets, weapons and items and the entire map is changed to fit the Game of Thrones universe. For the fans of series, this mod is a must-try.
Download it here.
10. Prophesy of Pendor
Unlike most of the mods we listed here, Prophesy of Pendor does not take you into a well-known fantasy universe, it rather creates its own and does a quite good job at that. It tries to find a sweet spot between the generic medieval theme of the native game and the fantasy-fiction themes with a low fantasy setting. You play as a hero with an aim of uniting the lords of Pendor under a single Ruler again. Now, as the developers said, “Prepare to enter the world of Pendor and accept the challenge of the Prophesy – if you dare.”.

11. 1776 American Revolution
Just like its name suggests, 1776 American Revolution takes us back into the times of American revolution. You do not have to fight for rebels; you can side with Britain to even join the Native Americans that see both rebels and Britain as the same. Of course, every single item is replaced to fit the era with the guns are being the most significant change and the original map is replaced by a piece of North America. If you wanted more from the Mount & Blade standalone DLC Napoleonic Wars, this is the mod for you.

12. Floris Mod Pack
If you were looking for more gameplay-changing or bug-fixing mods rather than total conversion mods, we were saving this one for the last since it combines a lot of great small Warband mods together. This mod pack enhances native gameplay by combining a wide range of mods provided by the Warband community. Additionally to the new troop trees, it offers improvements in gameplay, graphics and many other areas. It has 3 different levels: basic, gameplay, and expanded versions and you can choose among them depending on how much of a change you want. This is the best mount and blade warband graphics mod.

Mount & Blade is an indie Action-Strategy RPG developed by TaleWorlds Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive. It is a sandbox-style game, set in the medieval-ish land of Calradia, where you begin with a lame horse, a rusty sword, a bent crossbow, and some tattered rags, and are then expected to impress a king of your choice and conquer the world for him (or whatever else you feel like, really). You can hire mercenaries, train them, trade between cities, fight bandits, and even become a vassal to a lord and be granted a village, castle, or town.

The combat uses a physics engine that determines the speed of a swing, relative to the target, and gives a percentage bonus (or penalty) to the damage of the attack based on its relative speed. Missiles like arrows all travel in arcs and bows are less accurate the longer the shot is drawn, accounting for fatigue.

The game (and Taleworlds) started as an indie project by two people, a married couple. Before its 2007 release, the game spent three years in public beta testing, inspiring a highly active modding community that continues to this day. Some modders went on to join the official developers.
An Updated Re-release called Mount & Blade: Warband came out in April 2010, featuring a significantly improved combat model, a revamped single-player campaign with more in-depth political system, new items and locations, and probably the most called-for feature, multiplayer.
Released in late 2009 in Eastern Europe and May 2011 in North America and the rest of Europe was Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, effectively a mod for Warband developed by the Ukrainian group SiCh Studio and Russian Snowberry Connection (former Snowberry Connection). It adds early guns, a historical (fiction) setting, improves town-management and gives more options than just 'put a single ladder with room for 1 guy up the wall' in sieges as well as a storyline to follow.

In April 2012, an updated version (multiplayer-only) of the popular mod Mount & Musket was released as official DLC for Warband, titled Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars, which takes place, of course, during The Napoleonic Wars.
Another official historical-themed DLC (this time with a solo campaign), Mount & Blade: Viking Conquest, was released in December 2014; it is set in The Low Middle Ages British Islands and has been developed by the creators of the famous mod Brytenwalda.
The Warband engine has also been licensed out twice for games published outside Taleworlds, resulting in the pirate-themed Blood & Gold: Caribbean (from the makers of With Fire and Sword) and the China-themed Gloria Sinica: Han Xiongnu Wars, both released through Steam.
A proper sequel, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, serves as a prequel to Mount & Blade: Warband with an engine overhaul and gameplay improvements. The game's release date is unknown but according to Frank Eliott, known as Captain Lust, a former developers and PR manager, there will be public beta testing.
In addition to its modding community and the mods own pages, Mount & Blade also inspired This Notched And Rusted Blade, a machinima made with the Anno Domini 1257 mod.

I'm fairly new to Mound and Blade Warband, but I have watched youtubers play and they always have an option to give their soldiers (Just normal ones) the rest of the loot and equip them after the end of a battle When i win a battle i can only equip weapons for myself and the rest is sold i can only guess? Is it a mod i need to download or what?

It is not possible in the default Mount and Blade: Warband. There are several mods which provide such functionality, though i think most mods, for example Floris, only have automatic distribution of loot to your heroes, not your troops.
I can't think of any mod that allows full customization of troops but since there are quite a lot of mods, you might find what you are looking for in the Mod list

You are able to customise the equipment of your heroes, either by talking to them individually through the party screen or in some mods, like Floris, you also have the option of auto-updating it from a communal equipment pool.
As far as I know, none of the mods allow you to customise the equipment of your regular troops, although you can do this through Morgh's Editor, as has been mentioned in a post above.
You can also create your own Knighthood Order in Prophecy of Pendor, and you have the ability to customise the troops that are produced, both in terms of equipment and training.
If you feel that the troops in Warband are a little limited, then you can also use a mod like Floris to expands upon the troop trees of all factions. That might give you more of the experience you are looking for!
