The dev update video, which you can view below, shows an heir selection screen, but that’s all we’ve seen so far. We haven’t had time to take a deep look at how inheritance works in Bannerlord, but it’s likely a bit simpler than Crusader Kings III’s succession laws. “obody is safe from Death’s embrace”, the developer writes in a recent update to the Bannerlord Steam page.ĭying will mean your hard-won goods, settlements, and armies will pass to an heir. TaleWorlds says death can happen either on the battlefield (where we expect a lot of those will take place) or simply from growing old and passing away peacefully. With the latest updates to e1.5 and e1.5.1, death is something you’ll have to reckon with as you roam the countryside in search of adventure.
Sure, it’s never been all that uncommon to find yourself on the losing side of a battle in the war-torn lands of Calradia, but actually dying hasn’t been part of the programme until now. The gnarled hand of death will eventually find you in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord – and now it’s permanent.
