[2022] I refuse to play bannerlord until workshop is added

You can easily mod the game outside of Steam but I can understand why you would prefer the ease of use of the Steam workshop.

Anyway, we will be adding workshop support in the not too distant future but you will need to wait just a little longer before it is ready.

Very, very soon.
