What do you think the strongest perks in the game are?

in terms of overall impact for me I’d say it’s between leadership 250(extra clan party one) and medicine 275. one gives you between 2-300 extra troops and the other makes your parties troops significantly stronger. honorable mention to charm 200 for making starting your own kingdom playable, and trade 300 for obvious reasons. submitted by /u/Miserable-Act4201 [link] [comments]

The biggest issue (imo) with the Bannerlord delays

So, I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us here are going to buy (and hopefully enjoy) Bannerlord the second it comes out, regardless of how dated it looks or feels (which, to be fair, doesn't look half bad). Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the general population- most people buy a game because it looks good/fun and cutting edge, and I think we're reaching the point where that it becoming less and less the case as time goes on. The game is based on an engine that is at least 6 years old at this point, even if it has had improvements over time, and it's starting to show. This makes me worried that if they don't get the game out soon, it will just be too far behind current games to be "new and exciting" any more in comparison like it would have been a year or two back. tl;dr: The game is starting to look and feel outdated compared to modern AAA games- general public may not appreciate it like we do.

Mount and Beak?

Greetings fellow citizens of Calradia, my name is u/PM_ME_SWADIA_PICS . I’m a novice programmer/modder from the inverted lands of Australia. At this point in time the best way to move forward in developing my skills is to actually try my hand at making a proper mod. So after tossing around a few ideas I thought maybe making a mod based the well known, brutal conflict the Great Emu War. Is this something people would be interested in? Bannerlord when?

Started modding this game, a few units I made

I decided to add one unit to the "balanced" factions (Swadia, Vaegirs, Sarranid) and two each to the "specialist" factions. To wit: Swadian Paladin, upgrades from Swadian Knight. Has plate armor. Vaegir Sniper, upgrades from Vaegir Marksman. Has better armor and may have horses. Khergit Heavy Lancer and Khergit Keshig, upgrade from Khergit Lancer and Khergit Vet Horse Archer respectively. Both wear Khergit Elite Armor. Nord Scout and Nord Raider, which are upgrades from Nord Footman. Light cavalry. Rhodok Scout and Rhodok Musketeer, which upgrade from Rhodok Crossbowman and Rhodok Sharpshooter respectively. The former is a mounted crossbowman and the latter wields a musket. Sarranid Janissary, upgrades from Sarranid Guard. Armed with halberds. I'm also planning to add a new faction that plays a bit like Nords and Khergits combined, but isn't as strong as either in terms of specialties. Thoughts?

I cannot play this game without eventually yelling at my army. I love it.

I honestly think that's what makes this game so good. Just started up a PoP play through for the new update. The first hour will be quite normal and lax...until I start to get troops- and soon enough I'll be running around with my cavalry trying to do some sneaky shit to the heretics and I'll actually be screaming at my armies in some weird British accent in the middle of my home like a child. "COME ON, MEN" "TO THE HILLS ARCHERS!!" "FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!" (Sometimes "GOD SHITS AT THE KAISER" for my line battle boys) Or I've set special groups so I can say like "LETHALDIRAN, TO ME!!" And run a archery flank with him on horseback. It's truly what I really love about warband, the room it leaves for me to imagine something and create something on top (or inside of) the world they've created. Thanks for that. Butterlord when?

Snow Bowl - Calradic Campaign #28

Get ready for the rumble of the year! Although tensions have greatly risen between the Khanate and the Vaegirs, sacred traditions must be obeyed. Few outside the two nations know of the honorary skirmish held every year in the far east, for little other than bragging rights. This year, however, is... different. /u/Saultnami , after a long, ale filled night of remembering the devastation of Rivacheg, decided to up the ante. A vaegir courier appeared at the Great Khan's tent the following day, with a simple message: Why not wager the lands fought on? /u/SanjarKhan , ever confident of the ability of his riders to win the game, eagerly agreed, ordering extended horse-rider relationship training. Unfortunately for tradition, this larger wager has attracted the attention of the rest of Calradia, this ancient battle no longer hidden away from the rest of the continent. The Rhodoks have already donated their finest crossbows to the Vaegir cause, while the Swadians and Sarranids have ...

Anybody else use companions as bodyguards?

So each play through begins with the creation of a new army group of 'Bodyguards'. This group is recruited from the most noble of tavern gutters whose only purpose is to kill things. Not only does this group follow and deal with any tavern or street ambushes they also serve the vital role on the battle field. Due to their superhuman ability to survive life threatening wounds they serve dual purpose as the 'vanguard'. When a superior foe dares not mindlessly charge unto hordes of arrows and compact infantry these individuals are called to do their duty. These brave individuals armed with a lance, shield, sword and dreams are given the order to break the ranks of foes. The battlefield falls silent, these handful of soldiers screaming across the battlefields on their saddle horses. Its beautiful. The couched lances find their mark dropping five men on impact before the brave few are overwhelmed. The enraged enemy charge, the trap sprung. Before the enemy is met words o...

[PoP] You should get bounty score for destroying the respective "hideouts"

Knighthood Orders give you quests, the most common (and arguably easiest) of which is a bounty quest. Bounty quests tell you to kill as many of their enemies (the "bad" minor factions only, like Vanskerry Raiders, Snake Cult, Jatu, Heretics, D'Shar Bandits, Mystmountains, etc.). Most of these factions seem to have a "hideout/base" of some kind (haven't encountered any for Mystmounts/Heretics/Jatu), but for example there are Vanskerry Landings, Snake Cult Shrines, D'Shar Bandit Lairs, etc. Attacking these and succeeding should give you bounty score in my opinion, and it's really minor and not really a big problem as generally just camping around these and attacking all the small groups that spawn around it is more beneficial anyways for the bounty quests, but it would still be nice especially if you're being loyal to your own kingdom/faction and are trying to grow your fiefs. Killing bandits and these hideouts is beneficial as a ton of these guy...

Are the Swadians just shit out of luck?

I mean, they border 4 factions (Sarranids only one they don't border) and are almost always at 2 front war at LEAST. Some factions, like the Rhodoks or Nords, only border TWO. Their territory is like a long hallway, the cities are very far apart and some castles are just in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.

Mod for more resource management

My girlfriend is interested by mount and blade, but wants a more... complex game. Not in battle, but outside it. I'm already planning to install diplomacy for her along with the grand enhancement... but that might not be enough. She likes resource management and crafting, so I'm hoping there is a mod that expands on the companies you can set up. Things like making all your own weapons and armor with gathered resources. This is asking for a lot I know, but I'm grasping at straws. I want to get her into the game! Submitted April 21, 2018 at 10:52AM by Chance1441 https://ift.tt/2HPyYXL

Is Gekokujo fine or does the Daimyo Edition clearly outclass it?

So I've been looking at getting a mod for Warband to make things more interesting, and because I'm a huge fan of Japanese history Gekokujo was the clear option. I did hear that there was a daimyo edition that adds a few extra features, but I'll be totally honest... I have no idea how to install it because the mod page has all these patches that I don't understand and there aren't any instructions. The regular Gekokujo just installs itself automatically though by the looks of it. Has anyone here played both? If so, is the Daimyo Edition better enough to warrant attempting to figure out how to install it? Sorry if this makes me sound really stupid lol.

With all this talk of Camels, I did some research to see if you could make butter from camel’s milk.

Answer : yes you can. The churning process is longer and the quality is questionable compared to cow, sheep, and goat’s milk but it’s feasible.

Regarding the Influence "currency". You guys and girls afraid of that as well?

First of all, let it be clear that I absolutely love M&B and I mean nothing but constructive criticism and debate with this post. So I've just finished watching what I believe are all of Bannerlord's videos released so far, and in one of them a "currency" called Influence was mentioned and very briefly explained. It's supposed to work in addition to relation and you'll use it to convince people to help you in different ways. Now, my worry is this: doesn't that seem a bit too simplified? I've never been a fan of praising fun over realism but I usually understand whatever choices must be made and let go. But in this case... I don't know. They're going to funnel down your capability of influence over people, something so subjective and based on humanity, emotions and what not, to a currency?? It sounds like too much of an easy way out, trying to bog down something too complex into bought service, essentially. Once again I mean no disrespec...

Most interesting Native campaign due to unexpected circumstances?

For example, I wanted to start a very vanilla, uneventful campaign as a Rhodok foot soldier when the Khergits very uncharacteristically blitzed nearby kingdoms, with three kingdoms being confined to one or two cities by the first 300 days. This led to two hegemons (Rhodoks and Khergits) waging war on each other with a sturdy presence of Nords remaining more or less neutral in the Northern part of the map, with a Swadian Dhirim acting as a soverign state punching bag.

Some newbie questions

What does the AI do with the stuff I sell them? Will a horse merchant just discard the random battle loot I sell him? Will he sell it for gold? If buy raw materials from a village what do they do with the gold? If I sell raw materials to a village will they take those to the town, discard them, or turn them into a finished product? Is there anything I can do to get my villages prosperity / economy running faster? Does buying from them help? If I give my village a bunch of raw materials without making them pay am I actually helping them / the local town in any way or is there no effect? How does a town / village get more gold after I've sold them stuff. Does it go up on its own or does it need to actually be selling/trading stuff to other towns?

[TLD] Speak "Friend" and Enter | Useful Information on The Last Days

Hi all, I have been quite active here in /r/mountandblade and have seen great posts by users that really make the mod shine. I've also seen a few posts made by players who have not played the game since it was ported to Warband (2014). There has been a lot of changes since, I would like to take this time to lay out some general and some not-so-apparent information about The Last Days (TLD) mod for Warband / M&B 1.011. So let's get started! Admin Stuff: TLD has been ported to Warband and is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and NVIDIA Shield. Thanks to /u/swyter for making all of this happen! TLD has been translated to more than 10 languages (95%+). Want to contribute? Go here: Transifex . TLD as a concept is 10 years old! Started back in 2007 (I think) by AW, then continued on to what people know as 3.3. TLD is on Steam Workshop! We think this is the most stable version of the mod, and we push new stable builds to Steam almost every month. You can see our chang...

New to Warband, played about 4 hours - how do I progress beyond a small mercenary band?

I started yesterday as a commoner and I'm quite enjoying the game so far - although I'm terrible at fighting without an army behind me - but I seem to have become stuck in a bit of a rut. I'm basically just wandering from place to place with my 45-man party looking for lords and guild masters to accept quests from and fighting bandits, and my coffers rarely go above 2000 denars.

(Viking Conquest) Tips for early game combat?

So I've just started playing, and so far most of my time had been spent trading, getting money to buy wine and jewelry in Dorestad and using that to buy up cheap goods and sell them further along in a big ring around the North Sea. I've gathered a few companions and I've built some estates. But I can't get combat down to save my life. I've even managed to find spearmen a few times that I have hired, and they work fine until I run into Viking raiders. Then everyone's dead and I lose renown and I can't get any closer to hiring better guys. I'm not hurting for money, and being beaten every week or so is just a setback for my trading, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do now.

[Modding Question] Is it possible to have "extra" scenes in villages?

In some mods, such as AWOIAF, cities have extra scenes which allow you to explore important landmarks that wouldn't normally be part of a Warband city. I'm working on a mod which I think would require me to include several extra scenes in villages as well as cities. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not I can make do, but having extra scenes in addition to the primary scene would make things a lot easier for me and would make a lot more sense for the world that my mod is set in.

What's the fastest way to gain influence in the Last Days mod? It seems to go really slowly?

Playing as an Uruk-hai for Isengard. Currently level 17 or so, and am Rank 8 (Commander of Legions) with Isengard. I can only get my party size up to around 70-90 (12 Charisma, 4 Leadership), which means obviously I can't try to take out settlements on my own but can usefully contribute to battles and other engagements. However, I will say it is incredibly frustrating (even in native, but especially in this mod) that you cannot control allied troops in the battlefield. I would very much like to suggest that be tweaked, currently battles have barely any strategic element to them because whatever I do with the few troops of mine that join the battle is rendered null and void because my AI allies will just charge all the time. Another thing that I'm concerned about is that Influence seems to take an exorbitantly long time to gain, particularly considering that the costs of making suggestions to other Captains (e.g. follow me, go there, patrol here, etc.) are so high (I accidenta...

Full conversion mods that don't make the game stupid hard?

So, I've been looking around and tried more than a few, but I've found that most mods either don't quite work, or were made by people who seem to enjoy it when the game is aggravatingly hard. Now, I enjoy difficulty, to a point, but I also like to have the option of being able to beat a game without mastering every tingle facet of it. Frankly, I don't have the time to sit down and play the game for hours at a time in an effort to "git gud", because I have a job, life, and other obligations. So, are there any mods out there for average players like me? EDIT: Mods I've tried: POP, Perisno, Viking Conquest (Which, while easier than Brytenwalda, is still stupid hard), Star Wars Conquests (not hard, but still incomplete), WFaS (like it, but hate that the caravan system completely replaced enterprises. I like being able to passively earn a bit of money), and Nova Aetas (not hard in and of itself, but the trait system and other design choices are just fucki...

[Floris] ~380 days into my game, finally got my hand on a castle.

So, after ~380 days in the game accumulating renown and good relations, King Ragnar in his wisdom decided to finally grant me a castle! I gained (up to) three villages before. Is there a way to gain control over the associated village? I learned that the castle's prosperity is linked to its village and I don't want to boost some AI noble by doing chores here. Do you have other advice for me? Submitted April 14, 2018 at 04:54AM by DerTrickIstZuAtmen https://ift.tt/2ELfS1K

[Viking Conquest]Bringing troops to England

I'm at the part of the Viking Conquest campaign where you join the reinforcement fleet from Denmark to England. My problem is I have 60 men in my company and my one ship can only carry 27. I could buy a second smaller ship for 6,000, but I feel like that would be a waste. What do you more experienced players think? Should I just disband 30 or so men and recruit more once I get to England? Or should I gather more money and take more of them with me? Thanks Submitted April 14, 2018 at 12:04AM by Bulzome https://ift.tt/2H0gkv4

I love infantry, and their lack of brains saddens me.

I know every single troop in Warband is braindead, but I feel like infantry is the category that suffers the most from it (excluding horse archers with the Native AI). When I try to make a shieldwall, if one charging enemy manages to make it through, everyone turns around to look at him, exposing their back to the rest of the charging party who tears them a new asshole. Sometimes literally. When I try to make them advance to get closer to the enemy archers, they continue to look back at the same guy that made it through 2 minutes ago, while walking backwards, conveniently exposing their back to the archers who turn their butts into pincushions. When, out of frustration, I make them charge, hoping they'll find something more productive (and less suicidal) to do, they decide that gathering into a full squad, and running after a lone enemy horseman for 10 minutes would make for a great tactical move. Spoiler: they don't catch up with him, but they do get flanked by the rest of...

My biggest hope for Bannerlord for it to have battles that feel important and decisive.

Currently playing as a mercenary for Swadia, and I've noticed that none of the battles have felt important. Even when it's a giant battle where both sides have 200+ men, it feels just as important as a skirmish between 2 lords with 30 men each.

What if in Bannerlord there will be a lord named Rolf

So Bannerlord takes place 300 years before Warband where a companion named Rolf claims he comes from a long dynasty (Hour of Rolf). Some quotes from other companions and even Rolf himself hints that he is just a bandit, but wouldn't it be a great detail if there is proof in Bannerlord of his dynasty.

Alright this is getting a bit ridiculous....

Scabbards? Are you kidding me? I think something is seriously wrong with development and it’s causing it to be delayed this long. It just doesn’t make sense why it still looks like they’re years away from a release. What do you think becuase I’m panicking.

Which version of warband is best for mods?

So i wanted to download a couple of mods and saw that mods are compatible with only some versions. For example in a clash of kings(ACOK) its written that its compatible with 1.172. So does it mean that it's not compatible with 1.173? Also how do I check which warband version i have installed (non steam)? Submitted April 12, 2018 at 06:19AM by drish1496 https://ift.tt/2EGjC4r

[PoP] Troop Trees for non-factions?

Sorry if im just being dumb. But i cant see any troop trees for anything besides the factions, adventurers and mercs. Didn't there used to be ones for monks and the minor factions. Snake cult, misty mountain etc? Submitted April 11, 2018 at 02:35PM by WillBeBigOneDay https://ift.tt/2v3bfAI

Character Builds

How do y'all build your characters? I usually have an image in mind when I start as to the type of character I want. Ie in my last PoP run, I played a true knight, with a great lance, a bastard sword and a two handed blunt weapon. In my most recent native run I did a Nord build, with Bastard sword, Two handed axe, huscarl's shield and a bag of javelins. I've done a khergit with a horse archery focus, and I've done a dismounted Rhodokian sniper. I've also gone two handed with a bow and double stack of arrows. What do y'all do, and would anyone be interested in seeing role-playing builds? Edit: awful spelling/grammar Submitted April 11, 2018 at 09:21AM by CptDuckBeard https://ift.tt/2qmDGok

Horseback fighting - couchable polearm or not?

For years I couldn't imagine playing mounted character without couchable lance. But then I spent quite a lot of time playing VC, where you cannot do this, so I used normal spear from horseback. It was awkward for a while, but when I got some skill, I realised how awesome and versatile it is. Then I went back to playing PoP and thought that everything would go back to 'normal'. Bought some knight lance and... hated it. So slow, useful only for charging which obviously requires flat battlefield, useless on foot. Switched to long, non-couchable spear and I'm decimating everyone. Footmen get one shot and I can kill many of them by swinging few times in matter of seconds while still being out of their melee range. I turn sideways against horsemen chasing me and put my spear in their skulls. Do you guys prefer couchable polearms, or is there anyone that would rather play like me? Edit: Lets assume you can't have both and you must choose. Submitted April 11, 2018 at ...

Why do the AI always team up in arena?

It's such bullshit. I'll be untouched the entire time until I get to about 6 fighters left, then they'll all just decide to stop hitting each other and all come running towards me. Winning is basically never an option after that, unless there's a technique I'm missing where I can take them all out? Currently playing PoP.

[PoP] The Dawn comes too soon for peasants

Hear now, gentlelords, the exploits of the noble Knights of the Dawn. Led by their courageous captain, the stalwart paragons of justice were patrolling Pendor, hoping to gain renown and honour by vanquishing evil, for in Pendor there are many who deserve the fire of justice. After a grueling battle against the false king of Ravenstern and his base and greedy mercenary accompaniment, the Knights of the Dawn rested for a time in the city. Yet their rest was marred, for they heard rumors that near to Marleons was a large peasant uprising. These men had overthrown their lords and were under the command of vile bandits. Knowing the grave danger they posed to Pendor lest their evil ways be checked, the bold captain of the Knights of the Dawn decided that these peasants would serve as an example of the penalties of such wickedness. So too Marleons the knights rode. Though their numbers were slightly lessened, the courageous knights did not falter, but rather charged straight at their enemi...

Please help me if anyone knows the answer. If I marry the lord, would I still have access to the castle's garrison?

[POP 3.9] Formation somehow makes my troops move by themselves

When I order my troops to form, say, shieldwall, the troops moved to my position first before forming the shieldwall. No problem, I thought. Probably the developer's oversight, so I use F1 to reposition them. However, when the troops finished moving to where I ordered them, they began to move diagonally to the front and right. The only way to stop this is to break the formation. Any ideas what might cause this and how to fix it? Submitted April 08, 2018 at 02:55PM by heerkitten https://ift.tt/2Ju3CGv

[PoP 3.9] Rogue Blackhearts are not a joke

In 3.8 Blackheart Squires and Blackheart Knights were what I considered a peasant's knight - just a generally weak choice to choose but if it came down to it could fill a niche roll in any mercenary company. In 3.9, Blackhearts have become serious contenders for the title of knight tbh. Now buffed with some of the best, if not the best, armor and weapons in the game (Hawkstorm bows and Runed Bastard Swords/Pendorian Knight Armor etc), Blackhearts are a serious threat on the battlefield when facing off against bandit and red brotherhood parties. Furthermore, they are now readily available once you've reached level 20 thanks to a new feature. As of 3.9 you can now ask any companion to recruit a few troops to your company, and each one will recruit from a pool of 3 choices. For Sigismund Sinclair, his are Rogue Blackheart Squire, Rogue Blackheart Knight, and Hero Adventurer. While you are most likely to receive Squires (35%, 25%, 10% respectively with 30% no recruits), Blackhear...
