📋 About This Mod
The "Reign of Sword" adds some new swords (more weapons coming soon...) and a lot of crafting pieces to the game. New weapons have custom models and are divided into crafting parts, meaning you can combine the new elements with already existing ones. Wanna have a claymore with flamberge blade? No problem.
I was trying to set the weapon stats to be good but not overpowered. If you don't like them, you can tweak the stats or parts (like scabbards) in XML files of the mod. I'm also always open for suggestions.
Currently added weapons
- Claymore - 5 swords and 12 crafting parts
- Zweihander and Flamberge - 5 swords and 20 crafting parts
- Uthred's of Bebbanburg ("The Last Kingdom" TV series) "Serpent-breath" - 1 sword and 4 crafting parts
- William Wallace's ("Breveheart") Claymore - 2 swords and 6 crafting parts
Total new crafting parts: 42

How to get?
New weapons should appear in Battania and Vlandia stores, but due to their price it may be necessary to install some mod, which allows better equipment to appear for sale (like key's Royal Armoury). New swords can also be crafted (scroll down to new item category) if you unlock the parts or can be obtained by enabling cheats.
Installation
Download with Vortex and enable the mod.
Manually unpack and copy the "ReignOfSword" folder to your Bannelord's Modules directory
For game version e1. 7. 2 or older, you can also install the optional file Missing Strings Fix, which fixes the error of missing strings in item crafting category list in the Forge and in new weapon description. The fix is not needed for game version e1. 8. 0 or newer.
Language support
The mod is translation-friendly. In the "ReignOfSword\ModuleData\Languages" folder you'll find "RES_strings.xml" file, which you can use as a base for your translation.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,819 endorsements and 106,059 downloads show it's a go-to weapon pack.
- Deep crafting integration lets you mix new parts with vanilla ones—claymore with flamberge blade is just the start.
- Author is active and open to suggestions, plus XML tweaking means you can balance to your taste.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in October 2022—might not be compatible with the latest Bannerlord versions, so check before installing.
- Weapons may not show up in shops without extra mods like Royal Armoury, which is an extra dependency for some players.
- Only swords so far—no other weapon types, and the 'more weapons coming soon' promise hasn't been fulfilled in a while.
For Bannerlord players who love crafting and want more sword variety without breaking balance. If you're into historical or TV-inspired weapons, the Serpent-breath and Wallace's Claymore are cool touches. Skip if you're on the latest game version and don't want to fiddle with compatibility or extra shop mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on game version e1.7.2 or older, grab the optional Missing Strings Fix to avoid errors in the Forge.
- Use Vortex for easy install and enabling—manual copy to Modules works too, but Vortex handles updates better.
- To see the swords in shops, consider installing a mod like Royal Armoury, or just craft them yourself after unlocking parts.
