How to Configure the Captain Game Mode on your Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Server

The Captain game mode is a medium-length battle in which two teams fight it out to deplete the enemy's morale by killing rival players and ai. Each kill rewards gold allowing players to buy new classes. Individual settings for this mode can easily be updated in your server's Sergeant.txt file.

Note: In order for these settings to be applied you must be using the Battle game mode.
