I’m a vasal with the Khuzaits and I feel like the AI is not doing me any favors. We were at war with Sturgia and the Aserai at the same time which was a nightmare because everyone was running north and south. Not at war with Sturgia anymore but as soon as we made peace with them Monchug went and declared war with the western empire. I have 15 fiefs and they all border the western empire. So while every place I own is getting attacked Monchug and all the other assholes have been fighting over Shibal Zumr Castle. One side takes it and back and forth so most of the army is over there. And I’m in the same situation over at Onica castle. I own it but they take it and then I take it back. No one is getting anywhere. I want to go on the offensive and take Zeonica but I just don’t have enough people and I don’t think I can get anymore. Any tips for this stalemate? And where do all their troops keep coming from? They keep coming with 1100 troop armies and I keep destroying them, shouldn’t the...
I'm a big single-player guy who's dabbled in multiplayer from time to time--mostly limited by horrible internet that finally got upgraded last month. Following along with the dev blogs I had grown increasingly worried about Bannerlord. Worried that it wouldn't live up to Warband. Worried that some of the decisions they've made--character death, children, skill trees--were moving the game in a direction that I didn't think was correct. I got the Beta invite today and my few hours of multiplayer have really eased my fears.
I will not say that Bannerlord feels like Warband, but it feels good. It sounds amazing. That's really what impressed me most so far. Riding around, different surfaces sounding different under foot, sounds of combat drifting from around the corner. It feels so much more real, to me. I also like the changes they've made in how multiplayer functions: 6v6 skirmish maps are big enough to allow maneuvering but the flags ensure plenty of heated combat even with only a dozen players. I like buying units (with 3 options to change their kits) better then earning gold every life and using that to buy gear piece by piece--the new system is more streamlined, doesn't give skilled/experienced players as much of an extra advantage over those of us who struggle more and must be easier to balance. I love that there is a little bit of a practice faze while waiting for everyone to load into the map.
My major focus and concerns are still with single-player, but if they've gotten multiplayer so right so far I'm more confident that they are also taking single-player in the right direction.
