I mean I play it mainly as Role play, so winning it is not my goal, but I definitely want to be successful. Usually, getting first city is pretty hard, because having less than 200 troops, building siege camp, fending off enemy lords roaming around my siege camp requires big heap of luck. Then expanding the kingdom without clans is hard, even with two or three it gets hard against fully established kingdoms. However, weekly I see many posts about finished game, great strategic win, destroying whole kingdoms singlehandedly.... I am by no means beginner, having 2K+ hours in Warband (partially napoleonic wars as regiment member, but still many hours in Floris, Pendor and so on), 700+ hours in Bannerlord. I use Diplomacy, RBM so it is harder, but still... submitted by /u/Top_Leopard_9528 [link] [comments]
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 disrespect to anyone involved. But this is really bugging me and I wanted to know what the community thought of it as well.
