    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I'm using the tweaks mod to fix city food but it seems like it breaks smithing and charm. Not seeing any increases in either of those two so I'll have to try those out in a later playthrough. Where the hell are you guys finding women to marry? Once in a previous game I was able to express...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Played it one night and found that I had worse lag/framerate issues than in SP sieges. Performance seems to have gotten a little better in SP so I might have to check it out again.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    What are you guys finding to be optimal for the number of fiefs you can manage? I just got my 3rd city in the little region I'm protecting, plus I have a castle. Thinking about reverting to after I captured it and letting someone else have it. The problem is these assholes keep losing them...

    I've not really been sending out companions, except on short missions and caravans. Been planning to try it out.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I don't usually use ladders but I've only seen it once myself. What do you guys prefer to use? I think that most of the time the best option is a battering ram and a tower or two. I don't see a compelling reason to spend the time building cats and trebuches for destroying the defenses. It...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    The other lords of my realm are a bunch of incompetent pussies. The fags are constantly joining and leaving the kingdom and seldom have more than about 40 men. Meanwhile, I'm constantly trying to piece together half a dozen of these shitbirds just so I can face 2 to 1 odds against invading...

    Yeah, I see the "use any bow you want" on horseback (there are two, only tried one) doesn't work.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    HO. LEE. FUK. I just realized you have to actually pick skills. I thought they just activated when you hit the level and that some just were not working. Also, a couple of interfaces tips in case people have not noticed: 1) Instead of clicking 400 times on something, you can just select it...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I played a shitload of 1.1.0 over the weekend with only one crash. I'm running Tweaks and the fast dialog mod. We're making a comeback in the north- we were down to 2 fiefs and I thought we were going to get rolled up but we have a foothold again. I finally was just granted a city right next...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Has anyone figured out a reliable method of identifying what kind of business will do well in a city? It is supposed to be based on what is being supplied by the bound villages but it seems to be more random than that.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I started a new save and decided I'd join the Sturgians after playing up to clan tier 2. Right after I took my oath, all hell broke loose. Two kingdoms started shaving our shit in hard. It's been nonstop chaos and it doesn't look good.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I've been running caravans for a while and mine is still quite low. I don't know if it goes up at all. Incidentally, 1.1.0 works with my old save but soon after loading, I leveled a couple of times and my stewardship went from 200 something to 411, which is off the charts. Something...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    That 1.1.0 looks pretty juicy. Might be worth starting a new game. I started beheading lords to keep them from coming right back. I've probably killed 30. It's pretty effective but I think it's limiting my career options.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    If you look at the screenshot @Tuco shows above, does anyone know why some cities have a more opaque color? Those show up along the edges of the screen when you're on the world map. Wondering what it is supposed to be telling me.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    What do you see as fundamentally wrong? The only thing I can think of is the skill system. It's terrible and should be scrapped. Everything else seems like it just needs to be fleshed out, fixed, and balanced.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Well, in addition to the food/prosperity bug, building and maintaining a garrison is definitely harder than it should be. They have managed to make recruiting even more tedious than it was in Warband. Also they have removed the training skill so there is no way to automatically develop your...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I'm up to 2 cities plus a castle and making a shitload of money. Second city keeps getting besieged and on the current one I keep convincing the attacker army to stop and game crashes every time. On hold. I've had up to 700k in cash and it feels like it becomes less useful later on.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I have no problems in Warband but I can't hit shit with a sword in Bannerlord (when mounted). It's one of my biggest gripes. It looks to me like it is not just the hitbox but the swing angle is off. It's like you have to look down too far (angle) and the the window is really narrow (hitbox)...

    Cool. I'll give that a shot.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I've taken like 8 cities and some castles and the cunt empress keeps giving them to her soyboy or keeping them for herself, other than the one she gave me. I would have rebelled long ago if it were an option. BTW, I found that Bannerlord Tweaks fixes the food shortage issue (among other...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    The first two fiefs I received, I didn't even see any sort of notification. Also, my bitch empress finally gave me a town after I took a bunch of shit for the kingdom and now I have almost all of the buildings upgraded, no raids, no bandits, villages good, making 5k+ per day and I can't get...

    Fired this back up to see how the patches are improving it. I'm not seeing any new armor. Do you have to start a new game?

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    The more I get into this game, the more I'm getting a "meh" feeling about it and my play hours in Warband is 4 digits. Granted, I think they did a pretty nice job of improving the user experience (except loading screens for everything). It's a much more beautiful game and a more pleasant...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    That post someone linked earlier with the backlog of issues, hopefully, will be taken seriously by them. Overall, I think it is very playable as an EA. I think they did a decent job of fixing a lot of the old cumbersome UI shit. Weapons are jacked up though. I consistently fucking miss when...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Just finished the tutorial. So far, looks pretty good. Interface is not perfect but far ahead of Warband. My only complaint so far is that swordplay doesn't feel quite right on horseback. Maybe just something to get used to.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Yeah no shit. Like what are two more weekend days going to do for you? Launch that bitch on a Friday and your sales will light up like pinball machine. edit: And by embarrassment, I'm just saying that this thing has gone on so long and they still have to release it as EA. Really shitty...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Just saw this pop up on Steam. A day early and discounted. Still trying to lower expectations due to early access. It's kind of an embarrassment, honestly, but at least something is coming out. @Tuco Greetings warriors of Calradia! After eight years of blood, sweat, and tears, Mount &...

    And, I'm a couple of hours in. Got radio transmissions to the first two pods. Wondering if I missed something along the way. Maybe I will go back and look.

    Well, I found a super deep cave in the opposite direction of the ship that had some destroyed structures in it. Apparently there is some tool to mine the larger ore deposits. Trying to do this without looking shit up on wikis. I didn't use the airpump in previous games so I thought I'd give...

    I recently fired up this game again after having quit it early a couple of other times. It's a beautiful game and it should be right up my alley but for some reason I always get burned out on it before I even get to building a base. Just some aspects of it seem to annoyingly mundane like ...
