What is persistent empire ?
IMPORTANT : THIS GUIDE IS NOT FINISHED YET, the guide will be updated soon

Persistent Empires is an upcoming multiplayer mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. We intend to keep true to the basics of what Persistent World was, while expanding on it with lack of Warband's limitations. We hope to create a medieval open world with :
• Different classes that allow for further customization.
• Diplomacy/Factions, wars, field battles & sieges.
• An interactive, player-led economy which will affect finances around the map.
• A resource gathering & crafting system.
• An array of optional immersion systems to allow for extensive roleplay scenarios.

Where to download?

The mod is actually in BETA, so if you want to try it, you need to join the discord right here :
Discord[discord.com]
the instructions are in #download-link
What to do when spawning? / shortkeys
Persistent empire is totally different from native multiplayer, you are not allowed to kill random players for fun, the mod aims for roleplaying! When you spawn, I advise to explore the map and search a good village or city, one the first thing you want, is to join a faction or earning some money. You start as a peasant, so you got three tools:

This is your character in the game, It will appear like this here before joining the world

  • Sickle (you can use it to harvest from the fields: like wheat, grapes, flax, or chilli peppers)

  • Axe (for cutting wood, it’s obvious, go and hit a tree)

  • Hammer (When you are a craftmen, construct building and repairing door (hardwood) or walls (stones)
There is one another tools you can get from the market, or by harbours, this tool is:
  • The pickaxe (allow you to mine coal, clay, stone, iron, silver, gold)

If you need to make money and doesn’t want to join a faction or someone have stolen your tools, you can find multiple harbours with a chest inside, those harbours will allow you to export or import resources and tools .

Useful short keys

Local chat Q for Qwerty keyboards, A for Azerty keyboard (local chat appear in yellow)

Clan chat Y by default, It's the same has team chat
Pouch (interaction with your money) P
Nation list and player panel Tabulation, same as native multiplayer
Inventory system
Here is a quick explanation of how the inventory system works :

What is the goal of the craftsmen/serf?
Craftsmen and serf are the two most important jobs for every faction:
  • Serf: Serf is the only job that allows the player collecting natural resources, as a serf, you are the hardworking hand that feed the soldier and produce resources. As serf, your main goal is to get resources and sell it or harvest fields (wheat, grapes, spice) or harvesting flax and sell it.

  • Craftsmen: you are of the mind of the kingdom! As a craftsman, you can craft everything! Yeah, from armours, weapons, horses, and vehicles, the easiest way to earn money as a craftsman is to craft recipes that cost only one resource (for example, most tier 3 armours only require linen (linen can be crafted with flax at the weaver)) (another example: cart only requires hardwood and planks (planks can be crafted with hardwood))


Deploying a cart or a boat?
For deploying a cart or a boat, you need to find one pillar, a wooden pillar, in most village, It’s near the well, for a boat, you need to look for the exact same pillar on the docks.
You only need 7 hardwood (5 of them need to be turned into planks) and to be craftsmen to do a cart.
Buildings
You might be disoriented when entering a settlement, lots of different buildings, how do you recognize them?

In front of every building, you can see which type of building it is. Wood, wool, and iron will be in front of the different workshop, the pictures below will help you see how composed cities and villages are:

Legend :
Blue : Clothes building
Green : Food building
Black : Diverse
Red : Marketplace & Town Hall
Orange : Wood and Iron workshop




List of all resources:
Fields (need sickle)

Wheat & Flax :

Spice :

Cabbage :

Grapes :

Olives :

Minerals (need a pickaxe)
Stone

Coal

Iron

Clay

How to get quick and easy money
There is lots of possible combinations that allow you to craft or cook basic supplies that are really useful and worth a lot of money .

Basic Horses
Need : : Craftmen , 5 linen , 2 wheat
Steps : : use the linen to craft a saddle at the Stable
Result : : you can spawn and sell a Tier 1 horse
Useful trick : 8 wheat + 10 flax , use the flax to craft 4 saddle, and sell 4 horses in one turn

Boats/Cart
Need : Craftmen , 7 hardwood
Steps : turn 5 hardwood into planks at the wood workshop, use the 2 left hardwood and the 10 planks you crafted to make a boat/cart
Result : now you can go sell it for around 1k at the ressources markets

Fishing road
Need : Craftmen , 2 sticks
Steps : the easiest craft of the entire game, go to the smithy, use 2 wooden stick to make a fishing road

Clothes
Need : Craftmen , 15 flax
Steps : Go to the weavery, use the 15 flax to get 30 linen, then go to the armorsmith and craft clothes
Result : most basic clothes only require 5 linen, and you can sell them for around 600 hundred golds per units .

If you don't want people to kill each other randomly, wouldn't it be possible to program the mod so that pvp is turned off for all, save those in factions actively waging war? The only thing that would get rid of are bandits, who are NOT the meat and potatoes of this mod, or shouldn't be anyhow.
