There are a lot of things people are hoping to see in Bannerlord. I don't think this has ever been mentioned.

War Elephants.

Okay, so when I searched this sub I actually found one post asking if it would be possible (and a bunch about the Floris mount, but that one is kind of silly) so it's not true to say it's never been discussed, but I think it's under-discussed.

I want to start by acknowledging that doing this right would be a huge undertaking. It couldn't just be a reskin of horses. Not only because elephants are much larger, but because of how they are used tactically and operationally. A horse carries one guy, but an elephant carries a small fortress garrisoned by a handful of guys. Using elephants properly could have impacts not just for how mounts have to be scripted, but on the very structure of how a party is built. The mount/troop relationship would have to change from 1:1 to 1:M.

There's also the historical nature of it. M&B has always been medieval in style, with the factions more-or-less representing western Europe (Swadia), eastern Europe (Vaegirs), Northern Europe (Nords), Southern Europe/Italy (Rhodoks) and the middle east (Sarranids). There's no room in there, historically, for elephants.

That said...it'd be pretty cool. I'd put Jeremus in one so maybe his dumb ass would stop getting knocked out when I need him in the back keeping my troops alive. Also, elephants as siege engines? Yes, please.

It also opens up scripting for other different types of mounts. Chariots, for example, or siege engines that appear on the battlefield.

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...

Optimal weapons in Smithing (Forging): a second, deeper (?), look - Blades/Heads + Guards/Banners and Accessories. Bit of a letdown

Hello everyone.It’s been one month since part 1 was released (This one https://www.reddit.com/r/Bannerlord/comments/12yqhq5/optimal_weapons_in_smithing_forging_a_first_look/ ).I’m here posting again to go forwards in the established direction from part 1.There will be a TL;DR section at the end. A little recap is in order: last time we crafted every single possible weapon in Bannerlord, but ignoring guards, pommels, grips, accessories (From now on, "Parts 2/3/4")... and only switched between different blades/heads ("Parts 1"), which I expected to determine the overall worth of the item much more than the other parts (This proved to be the case, according to today's data).Furthermore, there were no changes in size at all, so all components were crafted only in standard size. Again, I've updated the Google drive folder I've been using up until now. It contains a series of screenshots detailing the weapon's name (Which in turn is a combination of the...
