📋 About This Mod

Compatible with 1. 3+ and 1. 4+ and  Warsails DLC!

Immerse yourself in the world of cultures of Bannerlord 

Mod adds to the game:

- Entirely new and reworked arenas.

- Arenas now have 3 stages of development, tied to town level.

- Seasonal changes, specially some higher tier arenas can have a huge variations between seasons.

- Different setups for practice and tournaments, practice will be more interesting, tournaments will be more decorated and will have less obstacles to not distrub cavalery.

- Arenas are now more then just place to fight. You can  travel around crowd and speak with townfolk.

- a lot of destructible items, lighting for early morning/late evening.

Compatibility:

Versions 2. 0+ of my mod, are made for 1. 31+ of bannerlord. But work very well also for older versions.

Versions 2. 0+ are also Warsails DLC compatible.

Mod should be compatible with pretty much everything, even more since version 2. 1.

Mod will be overwriten by mods that change arenas, obviusly. To change that, put this mod on the lower/at bottom of your modlist.

Mod is safe to add and remove during campaign. Future updates also should be safe to implement in existing saves.

If you are a mod author that need scene changes for your mod to work, give me info, maybe we will make something to our mods work along. If you wanna some scenes in your mod, I do commisions.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust: 1,452 endorsements and 191,103 downloads show it's a go-to arena overhaul.
  • Safe to add/remove mid-campaign, and future updates should work with existing saves—no restart needed.
  • Author actively recommends complementary mods, showing a commitment to a cohesive experience.

⚠️ Cons

  • Mod will be overwritten by other arena mods unless you place it at the bottom of your load order—requires manual load order management.
  • No explicit install instructions provided in the description, so you'll need to figure out mod manager setup yourself.
  • Compatibility with older versions is claimed but not guaranteed—if you're on a version below 1.3, you might run into issues.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Bannerlord players who want arenas to feel alive and culturally immersive, with visual variety and interactive elements. If you're tired of the same old arena layouts and want seasonal and tier-based changes, this is for you. Skip if you prefer pure combat mods—this is a scene and map overhaul, not a gameplay tweaker.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place Arenas Extended at the bottom of your mod list to prevent other arena mods from overwriting it.
  • Since it's safe to add mid-campaign, you can install it without starting a new game—just make sure to save before adding.
  • If you use other mods that change scenes, test in a practice fight first to ensure the new arenas load correctly.
