In Warband you would allocate troops to formations on your party screen. You could put individual troops in formation 1,2, 3 etc. In bannerlord it feels cumbersome having to do it in the battle deployment screen using the sliders. Is there a way to change this? submitted by /u/FingersToKeyboard [link] [comments]
We are rapidly approaching my predicted 12/12/19 release date for Bannerlord. (Theory here) However, I made one fatal flaw in my calculations. I assumed that by not having a publisher, Taleworlds would launch the game when they feel it is ready, however there are many more players than I had originally realized. Is it possible that Taleworlds own Armagan Yavuz is actually George R.R. Martin being puppeted by the Illuminati and Keanu Reeves? You shall be the judge of that after this post.
Setting
First, let's start out with the foundation since this might be a bit much to take in all at once. We are all familiar with the world of Mount & Blade: Warband with its seven factions, the Khergit Khanate, Kingdom of Nords, Kingdom of Rhodoks, Sarranid Sultanate, Kingdom of Swadia, Kingdom of Vaegirs, and the player created kingdom. One faction in particular, the Kingdom of Swadia, is of note. They are led by King Harlaus who gained his throne by stealing it from the previous dynasty and is well known for keeping an entourage of his nobles at court by providing constant lavish feasts and tournaments.
Now let's compare this to the setting of Game of Thrones. There originally seven kingdoms in Westeros, Dorne, the Reach, the Iron Islands & Riverlands, the Westerlands, the Stormlands, the North, and the Vale. The previous king, Robert Baratheon, was well known for throwing feasts and tournaments such as the Hand's Tourney where a total of 90,000 gold dragons were given away as prizes. Does this sound familiar? It goes even deeper than this. As previously mentioned, King Harlaus got his throne by snatching it away from Lady Isolla of Suno who is now a pretender, just as Robert Baratheon stole the throne from the Targaryens and now has a pretender in Daenerys Targaryen.
So what?
You might be thinking "Well we've got a clear connection between the two works, but whats the big deal?". I'll tell you what the big deal is. George R.R. Martin = Armagan Yavuz. The setting of their media is the same, they're both older successful men, and they both love to show snap shots of their newest work without releasing it.
The Theory
Mount and Blade and Game of Thrones. Assigning a numerical value from 1-26 to each letter of the alphabet then replacing the letters with the corresponding numbers for the two series gives us 13 15 21 14 20 1 14 4 2 12 1 4 5 for M&B and 7 1 13 5 15 6 20 8 18 15 14 5 19 for Game of Thrones. Adding them up separately we get 261 for M&B and 146 for GoT. If we use the first digit of each for the book number in the series and the last two digits for the page number, we get A Clash of Kings page 61 and A Game of Thrones page 46.
On page 61 of A Clash of Kings we find this:
"He was moving on four good legs, strong and swift, and he could feel the round underfoot."
On page 46 of A Game of Thrones we also find:
"Jon grinned and reached under the table to ruffle the shaggy white fur."
Notice anything? Four legs and white hair? Who else is it but old Harlaus on his charger!
If we look at Harlaus' stats, we get 20 strength, 20 agility, 15 intelligence, and 25 charisma. Add it up and get 80. Now look at his armor - Great Helmet, Plate Armor, Plate Boots, Gauntlets, and a Knightly Heater Shield for 5 total items. Subtract 5 from 80 and you get 75. Warband is 10 years old so we can subtract 10 from 75 giving us 65. If we look in Warband's files for a sound that is 65 kilobytes in size, we get encounter_bandit_13.ogg
This gives us the phrase "My men would like a word with your purse and your belongings. Which purse? Why the aforementioned Hand's Tourney prize purse of 90,000 gold dragons of course! If we convert that 90,000 from milligrams to ounces we get approximately 3.1746566 ounces, which we will round down to 3. If we look in the texture folder of Warband for 3kb files, we get bogus.dds. "Bogus!" You might think since it is a pure white file. However, what if this was a different type of bogus?
Who is well known for saying bogus in medieval situations? Why Bill and Ted of course! Even better, in that same scene they also shout excellent! Merriam Webster defines excellent as "of the very best kind". With that definition, we can look at the highest armor modifiers in Warband which is Lordly at +6 bonus armor and +1050% cost. If we add 6 and 1050 together, we get 1056. Add the 10 from Warband's age to 1056 and we get 1066.
What happened in 1066? William the Conqueror invaded Britain and took the English throne. With this modern English began to form with the mixture of William's French and the Germanic local tongues. Who writes in English? None other than our boy George R.R. Martin. And while he was most well known for writing Game of Thrones, he also wrote many screen plays earlier in his career. Who just so coincidentally appeared previously in this post and acts in screen plays? Keanu Reeves.
Keanu Reeves is well known for his seemingly eternal youth. Ever wondered how he maintains it? Well it just so happesns that we have some historical evidence on how to remain eternally youthful. According to history, Elizabeth Bathory bathed in the blood of virgins to achieve eternal youth. However, blood is just too cliche, messy, and conspicuous. A much better alternative would be the tears of virgins.
Now fellas, I'm not saying we're virgins but when was the last time you saw a kid in Warband? (PS. Horses don't count Khergits) So what would be a quick way of getting lots of virgins tears? Break the hearts of fans of two celebrated series by never releasing anything that's what.
Now you may be thinking this is all well and good for Keanu, but why world Armagan Yavuz/George R.R. Martin take part? It's actually quite simple, he is a member of the Illuminati. Just look at the newest dev blog. As you can see the walls clearly make the same double triangle of the classical Illuminati with the ground representing the G in the middle. Could they really make it any more easy? Still need more proof? The first Turkish Grand Lodge of the Freemasons AKA Illuminati was created in 1856, and after some brief closures it reopened in 1956. 1956 - 1856 = 100 + 2 for the 2 personalities Armagan has = 102 = Number of employees at Taleworlds. This is irrefutable evidence, period.
So far we have concluded Armagan Yavuz = George R.R. Martin as well as that he cooperates with the Illuminati and Keanu Reeves to maintain eternal youth. Get ready to put your tinfoil on because we're about to theorize about something crazy - Bannerlords Release Date
Release Date
Remember the numbered alphabet from the beginning? We'll need to repeat it for the release date. If you add all the numbers of Keanu Reeve's hit movie John Wick you get a total of 93. Multiply that by 10 and we get 930. If we look in the music folder, the closest to 930 kilobytes is victorious_swadian.ogg. The song lasts for 22 seconds. Divide 22 by 2 and get 11. If we get another eleven since we divided it by 2 we get 11/11/XXXX. Using that 11 we can find the sound horse_canter_2.ogg in the sound files as we've done so many times before.
The file is one thump of a horse hoof. If we take that and translate it from morse code as a dot it gives us E and as a dash it gives us T. Put them together we get ET. ET had a game on the Atari 2600 where the developers were only given 5 1/2 weeks to make the game. If we take the 2600 and multiply the 5 1/2 by 2 then add them we get 2611. We then get the date 11/11/2611. Obviously Taleworlds and the Illuminati are purposefully delaying the game until 2611 so that they can harvest our tears to prolong their life.
Finale
The year is 11/11/2611, and Taleworlds finally announces that Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will be available for purchase. I rush to download it and start a new game. I create my character but strangely there's no option for my character's background. Big letters flash "TaleWorlds Entertainment Presents Mount & Blade II Bannerlord" as triumphant music plays. Slow fade from black to ingame. I start to hear dialogue.
"Hey, you were trying to cross the border right? Walked into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
Todd Howard and Armagan Yavuz have done it again.
