Worth a post.

These loading screen dudes are always looking at me like they’re judging me submitted by /u/Illustrious-Club1291 [link] [comments]

This game is... draining me. (Rant)

I wanted to do an Ironman run of native Mount and Blade Warband as a sort of goodbye to this awesome game before Bannerlord. But... it seems like with every step I take forward, I take two steps back, and it’s killing me. All the flaws in this game are culminating into a splinter of frustration that keeps bothering me.

Ok, let me review. I recently fought and was captured by enemy forces. After eventually getting loose, I tried to go village-to-village, recruiting.

That’s when I hit a huge problem. Bandits. Not just are there like fucking 80 of them on screen at all times (seriously, Calradia has Skyrim’s bandit-to-villager ratio), and they are ALL SO FUCKING FAST. Even if I can outspeed the bigger groups, the smaller ones catch up to me, and apparently these DISORGANIZED BANDS OF LOOTERS are all on the same side (this is not how crime works in real life!).

Oh, “run away”, you might say? Well, there’s a different problem. Fucking morale. Every time you run away, all your troops develop severe Depression. Really? Lose 20 fucking morale because 1 unlucky sucker got left behind? Would you rather we all die and become slaves?

And then you have sanctimonious companions like Rolf who hate you for running, even though there really isn’t any better solution.

And then I LOSE SHIT by getting captured, while other lords don’t seem to lose anything. Stupid double standards.

And then there’s the factions. Don’t even get me started. It’s a lose-lose situation- either I get actually good fiefs that are taken from me the next minute by a siege party of fucking 400 people, or I get offered shitty village fiefs. Really, I just got given a castle, which was then taken before I even had the chance to raise enough troops to reliably defend it!

I want to revolt, but then I get fucked by my old faction. There’s no two ways about it- even with a King’s party size increase, I can’t just take and defend important points by myself.

I just... I can’t take it. I want to play Warband. I want to beat it. But this is all. Such. BULLSHIT. I haven’t been this devoid of hope and frustrated in a long while.

Back when Bannerlord was announced, I vaguely remember that, in the announcement thread, people were discussing the choice of the title "Bannerlord." Does anyone else remember that? It was a useless topic to discuss, but I kept coming back because I was so hyped about the game and was hoping for more information about it.

Dickplomacy Reloaded!

Hello everyone! :D I just made a mod, it's called Dickplomacy Reloaded. Basically it adds the functionality that you would find in normal mods, such as Dynamic Troop Trees, Custom Troop Trees, Freelancer, Tournament Play Enhancements, Single Screen Character Creation, and Rubiks World Map into Dickplomacy. ^-^ It also doesn't require WSE, but you still need the older (exe) version of Warband that comes with Dickplomacy. (Though I haven't tested it with the newest version of Warband so it might work.) Also, if you do decide to download it, please ignore (DO NOT USE) the "content options" folder, it is legacy, and the mod is compiled from source with all features. (This mod includes source btw) https://www.nexusmods.com/mbwarband/mods/6243/?tab=description Also, I am hoping to support it in the future, i.e through content updates and bug fixes. I hope everyone likes it!! :D Submitted August 11, 2018 at 09:48PM by amazing_lily https://ift.tt/2KMd9rK

How do I get into the major leagues?

How do I get out of being classified as a minor faction? I’m constantly at war, usually fighting two wars at once with my immediate neighbors, and I’m starting to suspect it’s because the game still considers me a minor faction. I’m nearly clan rank 6, with three vassals and basically a good chunk of the Sturgian lands, plus Epicoratoa, and now I’m starting to push into Battanian lands, so I have no idea how I’m still “minor”. Any idea how to move up in the world? submitted by /u/ButterscotchNo8348 [link] [comments]
