WHAT IS THE BBG/NRP CAMPAIGN?
The NRP/BBG Campaign in the Mount & Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars DLC is essentially a hybrid of regimental play hosted by two experienced server communities providing large scale scenarios with enough rules to bring immersion and organisation to the public. The campaign is an European and North American cooperation which will enable us to not leave any player out due to odd hours.
Campaigns are set in a quasihistorical world which the developers have expanded the lore of since late 2017. The public players will be able to decide the geopolitical outcome and consequences through their actions in-game. Each faction army has a command structure, which any player can apply to become part of. These in turn have designated leaders who act as the go-between for their faction and the admin team during their map turn. There are victory conditions and mechanics in place to allow for a tactical progression of the campaign based on the outcomes of battles, allowing for an immersive and dynamic experience unparalleled in Napoleonic Wars.
Battles proceed in the BBG/NRP campaigns similarly to those you would see in a typical regimental match, with the exception of minor adjustments to accommodate the public nature of the server. Players are free to pick any unit available, however, officers are chosen prior to each event by the faction leadership, and everyone has to follow the basic concepts of line battles and respect each others.

We'll be introducing 3 gamemodes from NRP to the campaign to counter repetitive battles these will be siege, cavalry versus cavalry and cavalry versus infantry. We've noticed how stale the campaigns has become with battles that would play similarly round after round, so with the introduction of these new game-modes and measures put in place to reduce camping during the classic battles, we hope to shake-up and improve the campaign a lot with these changes, removing the biggest problems people have had with the campaigns.
We've decided to revert back to the best-of-7 system. This means 3 maps may be used for a battle; 3 rounds on the first map, 3 on the second map and it could be a tie-breaker on a random final map. Furthermore, provinces in the centre of the map that are likely to see the most action will have 1 map bound to the province. This will mean that recurring battles in the same province will lead to the 2nd (3rd, 4th, etc) Battle of that province, this will give armies the opportunity to learn the maps and use more bold tactics to take advantage of their experience on the map.
Cavalry versus cavalry / infantry has been implemented as a gamemode in order to support the new mechanic called scout armies. These scout armies will be able to move further than the main armies in a single turn. Being able to manoeuvre around the enemy armies will give them the option to take lightly defended towns and cities. However, they will be made up of only a few divisions, this means if they are caught by a larger army; then a cavalry vs infantry scenario will begin and if the scout army is defeated then it will be wiped off the map. Although, the speed of these armies means the only thing likely to catch them will be other scout armies, if one scout army is caught by another scout army then a cavalry vs cavalry scenario will begin for the first 3 rounds on the first map.
Siege maps will be used instead of town maps when a battle occur on a city tile. This should further lead to a defender/attacker behavior, together with less issues with rulebreakers and balance.
