Beta Mod Release - Hold the Line: Infantry AI - No more moshpit

Hi all!! A few weeks ago I asked here how you wanted your infantry to fight ( old post ). The top answer by far was "make them hold the line", so that's what I built. It was called Better Infantry AI back then, now it's Hold the Line , and it's out as a beta. Available in Nexus Mods. What it does: No more moshpit: soldiers keep their place in the line and step in and back a little instead of turning into one big blob. AI formations that make contact switch to a charge, so both sides fight the same way. Shields in the front rank: shield and spear first, then other shields, then spears and pikes, then everyone else. Works in shield walls too. No more falxmen eating javelins and arrows in the front while the shield guys wait in the back. Rear ranks fight with spears: the second rank thrusts past the guy in front instead of hitting their back and getting stunned. AI spearmen also keep the spear out more instead of always pulling the sidearm. Deep format...

Why I feel like a " Early access" version is coming.

This is ment as a discussion since we literally have no information about this at all however, I still feel like some early test version is coming.

Here are a few reasons

  1. The game still probably has a bit of a way to go before it is completed and after seeing how fans reacted after E3 I think even Taleworlds are getting a bit nervous.

  2. Armağan said a early access demo would not be impossible. Now this alone does not really mean anything but in combination with the rest, it just might this time.

  3. The type of information they show. For a long while now we have only been shown clips and screenshots of combat. We saw a lot of combat at E3 along with some basic mechanics. Jump to Gamescom they are showing even more combat and today they release this video https://youtu.be/ditLixWjMTs showing us a detailed walkthrough of exactly how the new captain game mode works. Why would they basically do a tutorial almost and not just say "here is some gameplay and here are the features"?

  4. Multiplayer.. Or rather, lack of multiplayer. They are being asked about multiplayer all the time and they know they are not going to be able to do it. This ties into captain mode. This is easy for them to do. It is a cool multiplayer mode. The Most important part is that it could easily be released as a "early access" demo to really show the fans the combat. This way the kill two birds with one stone. They please fans who are upset due to the lack of a release date and they at least have some form of solid, fun multiplater action.

Conclusion: I think they will release the Captain mode they showed us as a Alpha or Beta test (term is arbitrary) they did something like this when warband was coming out so why not now?

What do you guys think? Am I being crazy here?

Mandatory apology for bad English. Sorry.

Edit: Added conclusion.

Help with the Subreddit's new Guide! Guide is in the Description and Link in the Comments⬇️

So I got the go-ahead to write a guide for the Mods to post and pin on top of the sub and while my 3000+ hours of Bannerlord and wide experience with speedrunning this quest covers a lot, I am sure that I might have missed some neat tips and tricks. Please also tell if there if something that needs closer clarification with more text or an image. The Bannerlord's Guide to Unite the Empire Written by Octavian_Exumbra So you want to unite the Calradian Empire? Well, my child, this is no simple matter. Many great rulers have attempted to Unite the quarrelling descendants of Calradios the Great under one cause and most have failed, so steel yourself great warrior for today you... I'm just messing with you. It's actually a fairly simple process, so let's just dive right into it. New Campaign: Starting off, we're picking Empire culture. When it comes to skills, you have more liberty, but if we want to do this as effectively as possible then we're mainly focusi...

Detailed Mariner Unit Analysis/Tier List for Campaign

TL;DR Tier List. These are my personal notes and I acknowledge it is just my opinion, just posted to hopefully help others S: Imperial Naute A: Battanian Skipari, Vlandian Nauta, Nord Huscarl, B: Sturgian Reaver, Nord Berserkr, Aserai Bahriyyah, C: Corsair Chief, Nord Skjaldbrestir, Nord Chosen of the Sky-God, Sea Raider Chief D: Various Convoy Guards, Nord Ulfhedinn, F: Nord Youngling Testing is done in actual campaign as well as using custom battles and the Retinue mod to look directly at stats/equipment. General Observations: Shields are required, otherwise you get shredded by ranged attacks. Skills and ship upgrades can boost shield health massively, with some like the Nord Decorated Shield crossing 2,000 hp! I've seen Huscarls with 20+ Javelins in their unbroken shield at the end of a battle. You can assume the high tier shields will not break in battle, meaning a single high damage hit creeping through is the best means of ranged attack rather than quantity. For ra...

đŸ‘„ All Bannerlord wanderers/companions

⚠️ ANNOUNCEMENT While editing my previous post, I bumped against the 40,000 characters limit, which was unknown to me. I decided to take the following course of action: to avoid encountering the character limit again, I split the wanderers/companions and marriage prospects post into 2 separate ones, with "Bannerlord" in the title for SEO reasons. Furthermore, instead of maintaining posts for each branch, the active posts will be dedicated to the beta branch, with a snapshot of the main branch values accessible for download if pertinent. ​ Up to date as of beta e1.1.0; editing in progress, pardon my dust... e1.0.10 snapshot temporarily redirects to the post PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION. The purpose of this post is to provide pertinent information about all of Bannerlord's potential companions. Efforts will be made to keep it up to date, and expand on its information. Currently present are the 64 wanderer templates found in spspecialcharacters.xml ...
