You could win a slice of €30,000 by building the best mod for Mount & Blade 2's controversial seafaring expansion

TaleWorlds Entertainment, the developer of Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, has launched a €30,000 modding competition for its controversial War Sails expansion. The competition is divided into three contests: Conversion Mod, 3D Art, and Scene Design. Contestants can win up to €12,000 for the Conversion Mod contest, with additional prizes for second and third place.

The 3D Art contest offers €2,000 for the winner, while the Scene Design contest provides €2,000 per winner. The submission deadline is November 22, with winners to be announced in January. War Sails has received mixed reviews, with many players facing bugs and technical issues. Despite these challenges, modders are encouraged to create compelling mods for the expansion, which may help improve its standing among the community.
