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

Skirmish is a medium-length game mode in which two teams battle 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 Skirmish.txt file.
