* ZombieApocalypse: The mod is set in the aftermath of one. Details are unclear, but it seems to have been caused by a plague. According to a loading screen, it happened between 2014 and 2019, affected the whole world, and in 2019 the number of survivors in the whole world is 100,000 persons. In the proper game, infected are mostly here to provide early opposition to a low level player character, since most of the action is about the war between the human factions.

''The Reckoning'' is a [[GameMod mod]] for the videogame ''[[VideoGame/MountAndBlade Mount And Blade: Warband]]''. Set in a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptical]] version of 2019's USA after an epidemic which ravaged the world, the mod is about a conflict between a dozen of factions in the middle of devastated American towns and American countryside.

[[folder:The available factions]]
* Major factions:
** The United States Army: remnants of the US Army,
** The New Confederacy: Confederacy nostalgists aiming to recreate the CSA,
** The Aryan Brotherhood: neo-nazi gang,
** The Bennet Clan: stereotypical redneck clan,
** The Church of Our Saviour: an army of religious armed men wearing armours.
** Woodbury : a much smaller faction, around the eponymous town.
* Minor factions (raiders or isolated settlements):
** Cannibals
** Crater Miners
** Gearhead Raiders
** Hagar Settlement
** Orion Raiders
** The Dead Men
** The Ghost Clan
** The Great Khans
** The Jackal Clan
** Wasteland Marauders
[[/folder]]

Note that the mod official development has been officially stopped despite its Beta state, due to the mod's creator being eventually more and more disinterested in it. Because of this, some parts of the mods (companions' dialogs, some scenes, some features) are native ressources used as placeholders. Fortunately, its creator allowed the mod to be used as OSP[[note]]"Open Source Project", which means that anyone can reuse the mod for their own projects[[/note]].

Some additional informations and a download link are available [[https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?board=394.0 here]].

For tropes related to the gameplay which are unchanged from the unmodded game, refer to the ''VideoGame/MountAndBlade'' page.

* BatterUp: A baseball bat is available as a blunt one-handed weapon.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: The available weaponry includes World War Two guns (parts of the Aryan Brotherhood weapons are nazi-era guns), World War Two and Vietnam War-era bayonets, and a World War One-era British tank.

* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Some settlements have hanged corpses exposed outside.
* DisasterScavengers: Small parties of low level units named "Scavengers" travel endlessly back and forth between points of interests and castles / towns (they're basically the mod's version of native's villagers).
