Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord has no Mac build, but the Windows version runs on Mac through CrossOver, a compatibility layer built on Wine (the same technology behind Steam's Proton). ProtonDB rates it Gold, so it runs well after minor, often automatic tweaks.
- Install CrossOver (or Whisky). Get CrossOver from CodeWeavers. It's paid but has a free trial. Prefer free? Whisky is an open-source alternative built on the same technology.
- Install the game in a "bottle". Open CrossOver, search for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, and let it create a bottle (a self-contained Windows environment), then install the game from Steam, GOG, or Epic inside it.
- Apply any tweaks. CrossOver usually applies the right settings for you. If something's off, ProtonDB's community reports for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord list the exact fixes other players used.
- Play. It runs right on top of macOS, with no full Windows install and no rebooting. One specific caveat for this game: its multiplayer uses BattlEye, which has no macOS support, so expect single-player to work and online modes to be blocked.
