The game is essentially a medieval warlord simulator. You can be a bandit raiding towns, a mercenary warband hiring out to various kingdoms, a vassal to a king, or I think even own your own kingdom eventually (in the original at least). Its also a pretty good combat simulator kind of like a jankier version of For Honor. I only spent ~40-50 hours in the original though so feel free to correct me any of you that have played more.
nice. I thought it was really odd there was no menu icon for the Encyclopedia. you can also just right click just about anything to open it up.. and then just back out of that specific topic, to go look for whatever topic you wanted.
yeah, I wonder if they scale or get harder or something?
As I recall from the first game polearms were really best used from horseback. Seems to be similar here thus far
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.
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.
That video is pretty incredible honestly. Trying to imagine playing that way has got to be the closest anology I can imagine to digitizing the experience of fencing. If you can imagine significantly improved animations for the movement of the cursor it could honestly look really impressive. We're fucking creating the matrix and stuff like this is like a tiny slice of the rough first draft.
There is a huge thread in the beta forums that described about 20 different really detailed problems with bannerlord vs warband's combat.
lotta people reporting this kind of instability.
