NONE OF THE MODS ON THE NATIVE COMPATABLE MOD LIST WERE DESIGNED FOR WARBANDS. ALTHOUGH THEY STILL MAY WORK SOME WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE BUGS AND SOME MAY EVEN BREAK YOUR GAME. BEFORE INSTALLING MAKE A BACK-UP OF ANY FILES THAT WILL BE REPLACED SO YOU CAN REVERT THE CHANGES WITHOUT HAVING TO RE-INSTALL.
I thought it was about time someone put these all in the same place. All of these mods are compatible with Mount and Blade Native version v1.011. These mods are not only compatible with Native, but also with most other mods. Most graphics and sounds mods are compatible with any mod, and some gameplay mods as well.

Form Ranks Kit:
An advanced formations mod, allowing you to set sargeants, form individual units, use many different formations and with unique squad AI for each major formation type (e.g. Wedge formations will try to charge through the enemy ranks, come out the other side, turn and charge again). Not entirely Native compatible (you'll need to start a new game), but definately worth trying out and should be compatible with other mods on this list.
