Multiplayer with friends / CO-OP
I love this game and just got my first 100h of playing, but now my freinds saw the game as they were chillin around my hause. Now we would like to somehow play the "Career-Mode" in Multiplayer with like up to 4 players. It also wouldent mather if just one of us could travel the map and stuff like that, and the others only could fight in my army against the CPU enemies.

So my questions are, xD

Is this any possible?
Whats the name of thet mod?
Where do i get it?
How do I use it? xD

I Hope my english isn't to bad, and I hope som of you awsome guy's can help me out.

Greetings from Luzern, Switzerland.

If your friends either acted solely as companions or followed you around with there own armies but couldn't run around themselves, then yes this is entirely possible. However no mods of this kind exist at the moment, and while there are hundreds of multiplayer mods aimed at co-op play and just making multiplayer more fun in general, no multiplayer campaign mods exist.
You see, the real challenge of making a multiplayer campaign mode for warband is the way pausing the game works. You just stand still, and everything stops. With multiple people playing the game that can either lead to some major trolling with people pausing and unpausing the game at will, or this feature would be removed as a whole, which would be devastating. That feature allows you to make strategic movements and stratergize defenses and ofenses by giving you time to think. And then there are the battles. When engaged in a battle, the game pauses around you to simulate that battle. What would happen to people not in a battle? Would they slow down? would they pause and wait? Its really only mount and blades pause feature that creates a problem, but boy is it a problem.

P.S. - Sorry for sounding like such a downer, because being able to play in a multiplayer campaign would be really cool. I mean come on, how awesome would it be to wage war against your friends factions.

There is a co op mod that lets your friend take a character from your army into battle, but its very complicated. I forget the name, you can google it.

@Rayman I don't see the problem of just having pausing like in all other MP games.

Then everyone pauses if their seperate entities, and not a single, whole entity

Could you imagine if your trying to cross the map and all of a sudden you just pause because somebody had to go eat dinner and you couldnt do anything

No I mean just pausing is disabled, and players fight in their friends battles as AI. Not a perfect solution but I would play. Obviously the quests would have to be streamlined for this.

Yeah, but then again I usually only do a handful of quests in the beginning for cash.
And thats actually a really smart solution, but a little quirky here and there. But then again, mount and blade can be a quirky game at times
