Why I Still Love Bannerlord Despite Its Flaws Hello everyone I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to share it with anyone who enjoys Bannerlord, or wants to enjoy it more. If you're already having fun throughout the entire game, that's great. This post probably isn't aimed at you. But if you've ever felt that Bannerlord has incredible potential yet somehow loses its magic after the early game, maybe this perspective will help. I completely understand the criticism the game receives. Bannerlord could have been so much more. The quests become repetitive, diplomacy lacks depth, and many of its mechanics never evolve as much as they could. The early game is exciting, the mid game starts to slow down and the late game often turns into a grind. I agree with all of that. And yet... I still enjoy every stage of the game. The reason is simple; I don't rely on the game to tell my story. I create one myself. To me, Bannerlord feels less like a tra...
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?
