Mount & Blade: Warband is a popular game that has spawned many player discussions and how-to guides. One such topic is the ability to use native saves on the Diplomacy mod. The process involves creating a new folder in the Mount&Blade Warband Savegames directory, specifically named Diplomacy or Diplomacy (Steam Workshop). Players then need to copy their save games from the Native folder into the newly created Diplomacy folder. After restarting the game and launching Diplomacy, the saves should appear in the list, allowing players to continue their progress with the mod enabled. It is important to note that once a save file is opened and saved in Diplomacy, it cannot be transferred back to Native due to alterations in the save structure.

- Go to the "Documents" folder on your computer.
- Locate the "Mount&Blade Warband Savegames" directory.
