I've been spending a lot of time looking at the game's code. It's rare that a game is effectively open source like this where much of the game is built on .NET and they ship open binaries. The game, by default, lets you have 3 companions and gives you one more companion per clan rank. I...

I enjoy the combat a lot, there's just something endlessly fun about riding my horse around hitting fools that is unique in Mount and Blade. There's a lot of interesting possibilities with a sandbox game that is largely randomized, but that isn't realized in Bannerlord yet. The campaign system...

I forgot to mention: I like Pendor's crafting system much better. It's simpler, makes more sense from a lore perspective and is more integrated into the game's economy and less "the same crafting shit you've seen in every RPG ever". In Pendor you have a special class of knights (called orders I...

I think my map would look like this if I just rested and watched it. I joined the northern empire because it lost a couple cities to the Khuzait and was about to get steamrolled. I've been desperately trying to defend them and help turn the tide, but my bros in the northern empire get captured...

@Brikker So I went to check out crafting yesterday. What a mess. The crafting leveling is super slow, but the real grind is unlocking all the different components. It's like they hired some art guy to make faces and weapons, but he really just wanted to weapon like we all did at age 8. So he...

Not pictured: riding a horse around in circles for 15 minutes waiting for looter's to sprain their AC joints throwing rocks at you.

Old saves are fine.

Found a companion who is probably the first bannerlord woman who doesn't look like she was conceived in an industrial microwave. And her backstory text is the precise level of succinctness I want from all my companions.

The amount of work they've done this week to improve Bannerlord makes me wonder where the fuck these busy beavers have been for 8 years.

Probably not. I imagine it provides the only source of high quality gear, but right now the amount of effort that it takes to level it makes the time to payoff beyond what most people will ever see. Right now in the singleplayer game a faction will snowball and take over the entire world within...

Good news about most complaints is that, with a few exceptions, the game's framework and engine is solid. It's just the tuning on a lot of stuff is uhh, way off. It feels like they just barely got the framework in place and did almost no user-level testing of singleplayer before the early access.

In case anyone is curious about Bannerlord and is thinking about picking it up, don't, lol, at least not yet. It'll get better, but right now it's in rough shape.

Oh yeah I modded that too. Find/replace all in a text editor is easy. Of all the mods I made that's probably the most risky, who knows what kind of ramifications that has besides just putting more items on vendors.

If this was any other game I probably wouldn't have bought the early access, or if I did, I would've quickly put the game down when learning what was missing. But it's M&B so instead I'm ducking a few broken things with the goal of trying to avoid an inevitable snowball. Last night I did the...

How?

I get why you're ducking me for a joke, but how you gonna hit an upstanding member of the community like @Phazael? @Lightning Lord Rule @Alkorin @Wintermute I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come, I don't have the time to facilitate yet another community move because the...

What's goin' on, my dudes? I'm the latest victim of April fool's day hijinx being played on the community. @Alkorin @Lightning Lord Rule @Wintermute Hope y'all are enjoying your April fool's day!

They'll fix stuff I'm sure but right now I'm thinking modding the removal of the companion cap and manually leveling up useless skills along with their primary skills (using CharacterTrainer ) would make the game playable.

I kind of like it... The factions in Warband were all pretty stagnant and it typically took years for a faction to be eliminated. The factions snowballing heavily makes me want to level up quickly to stop it from happening by defending the underdog. Just like a fence-rider. They'll probably...

this hideout shit was in warband too. You'd run your army to some podunk hideout and you and a few bros would take it on. It was a pretty unimportant part of the game. Some mods (Pendor?) make you kill a bunch of them though. Enemy archery is pretty strong in Bannerlord. Too strong.

Yes, but if you have had enough morale and leadership you could overcome that. Most mods had features to turn that bullshit off though.

The companion limit disrupts my usual warband playstyle of recruiting all the companions, leveling up together and forming an iron core of immortal monsters to act as the vanguard for my movements for when I start expanding and building an army. In Bannerlord you start off with 4 companions and...

Rip workshops https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/patch-notes-e1-0-1.399147/ Capped daily workshop income at 200

Dunno about bannerlord tbh. I've only put in a few hours. Cash is king though, i hear that buying workshops is broken amounts of gold. If you get lots of $$$ you can buy troops and field a strong army. In warband when you wanted to start playing with the big kids you'd go sign up with a ruler...

lotta people reporting this kind of instability. My game is rock solid so far, but pretty early in the campaign.

It goes pretty fast with two people, one person to sanitize stuff, the other to put it away. It's not perfect and we're not washing oranges, but it's a good measure we've been taking.

There is a huge thread in the beta forums that described about 20 different really detailed problems with bannerlord vs warband's combat. https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/combat-issues-and-inconsistencies-megathread.389699/

I don't know if you've played warband but the swing mechanics are a whole other fucking world that almost seems like an unintended mechanic. Whenever I learn a new game I always hold judgment until I see high level players in action. Warband is just bizarre. Fortunately these mechanics can be...

The goal isn't necessarily to get the biggest army. Mo army mo problems. It's a sandbox game where the player can do a variety of different things, one of which is to have a yuge army, conquer all the lands and be undisputed king. They added a bunch of campaign/story elements to Bannerlord, but...

Doing the same thing. The tournaments in Bannerlord are pretty generous to players. A lot of mods will start you off with a 2h axe against a bunch of archers :| The betting is bullshit though. I'm some dude fresh off the farm going against some knights 1v1 and I get +1000 odds on my bets (Bet...

yes

As soon as I'm done today, bud!

Yes. With squad or army-based combat. I've played through a bunch of playthroughs on Warband, sometimes I'll play it straight and do the overworld without cheats, other times I'll cheat and remove the fog of war and teleport around so I can just jump from one battle to another. It removes half...

If you buy it, get it directly from Shop - TaleWorlds Entertainment to give them full $$ instead of steam getting a cut.

We just had a massive rainstorm. It'll clear up quickly. I am thinking of irrigating that area though. Would be a huge project though.
