I played up to T4 in 1.7.0. It's definitely getting SLOWLY better. The new maps are cool, performance is good, new quests and quality of life improvements.
It's pretty fun up to early-mid game but then it falls apart and becomes very tedious IMO. The economy is fucky and a whole host of features that would make the game much more interesting are either non-existent or half-assed. In my case, I have to play with about 5 or 6 mods to make it enjoyable.

theres a bunch of options for this.
1. you can join another kingdom. and let them command anyway. when in an army, you'll be in charge of a formation.
2. when commanding yourself. you have lots of tools for telling infantry, archers, etc. each what to do. formations, charge, advance, hold arrows. retreat, etc..
3. or you can just hit f6 and let "sergeants' give orders. while you go do your thing, and let them take care of themselves. they will generally do well. just, not do major pincer maneuvers, YOU can do.
4. or invest in "tactics" skill, and never even enter battle at all.

its more action oriented then the tactical you are suggesting. you can't loadout your army with gear or anything. higher teir units are better then lesser, but trying to rock paper scissors with special troop types, doesn't mean much either. especially if you are not personally organizing the offense/defense to make use of them.

You just missed the holiday sale. Personally, I would wait for another one. In the meantime, if you don't mind dealing with a little clunkiness in the UI and dated graphics, Warband is a no-brainer. The mod community is pretty vibrant, including some that are "Total Conversion" that add a lot of features, story, etc. Also, the vikings DLC is top notch.

in order for a SAVE to be compatible with 1.7.1 or future updates, the save must be loaded in 1.7.0 first, then saved in 1.7.0.

So for folks playing 1.8.0, do you think it'll be ready for an October release?
edit: just checked the official forums, folks think the answer to that question is a big fat nope. I'll probably pick it up when the first big mod comes out for the released version.

I think that answer is greatly influenced by how much you played warband. Theres aspects of warband not in this game, and theirs people that do nothing but complain about that, regardless of what actually is this one, or is new.
Theres been huge changes and reworks since it first released into EA. Tons of mod stuff is now just base game. but not all.
no banners in bannerlord.
Diplomacy is still greatly lacking. (theres a mod..)
I'm sitting at 714hours according to steam. I do love it. Currently modless honestly. Although theres a few I think are good. diplomacy. RBM.
Theres one that makes more/smaller kingdoms. which is something I think would do the game well. It'd be better if most/all the kingdoms were split into 2. way more factions.
The patching pace has been ok, but its been minor tweaks, crashes, etc mostly. no way a 1 month patch after the very large 1.8 patch, which WAS game changing, would give any real major changes to the game. so, what we have now, is basically going to be release.
so, compared to other games out there? its releasable for sure. Could the game use more time on the burner? yes. could it use some of those warband elements? yes.

The most popular multiplayer mod for Mount and Blade Warband has been released for open beta for MnB2 Bannerlord and I'm going to fucking promote it. The original is my most played game from 2010 to 2015ish. The developers have made combat substantially more fluid and less shitty than vanilla.
-create your own character and specialize however you choose
-Level up on the multiplayer crpg 2 battle servers
-make friends or don't
- eventually an online map will appear for a game called "Strategus". Move yourself/armies/groups of RL players across the map to: trade, take territories, merc for money, create lasting blood feuds that last a decade with RL people. The drama is top tier.

Logging in using your steam account with bring you to a very beta character page where you can buy arms and armor for the multiplayer battle server.

Good to hear that the big modders are give it a go for this game. I think I played Prophesy of Pendor for twice as much time as vanilla Warband (with light mods). Maybe next year is the year to actually pick up this game.
