City Lights gives Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's campaign map an after-dark glow

Bannerlord's campaign map can look rather quiet after sunset, but draknic72's City Lights gives its towns, castles, villages, and traveling parties a little more presence. Warm lights appear across the landscape as darkness falls, with adjustable brightness and color settings for players who prefer something more subtle or theatrical.

The mod can also distinguish friendly and hostile parties through different colors, and optional holiday themes add animated lighting effects. One setting can illuminate parties that would ordinarily remain hidden, so it may reveal information the base game doesn't normally provide. City Lights targets Bannerlord 1.5.5 single-player campaigns and requires MCM, making it a cosmetic enhancement with a few potentially meaningful display choices.
