Is there a mod that changes the formation system to the one from Warband?

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]

Early Access is not a valid excuse and criticism should be acceptable.

I want to say this as polite and level headed as I can because I believe screaming and yelling “unplayable” or “fix your shit” is unnecessary. I’m on TaleWorlds side and I’ll support them as much as I can but that doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to be criticized. Quest are extremely repetitive and most are not only bugged but they will prevent you from progressing permanently. The dialog is not only extremely repetitive, it’s borderline glitched in a lot of places. Hence the “insert generic backstory here” pictures. While that’s humorous in a lot of ways it also shows how serious you are taking the development, of lack there of. The new features that are available are almost pointless due to the player not being able to properly use it. IE: Balancing issues with pricing and rewarding. You’ve taken out a lot of positive things from Warband without supplementing it with a better alternative, or at least an explanation as to why you went that way. IE: Auto Block, XP from tou

Lets not turn into an echo chamber

Just to be clear I absolutely love Bannerlord, its prob the best game I played in the past year. But I noticed lately that any criticism of the game gets heavily downvoted with a bunch of people saying "ITS EARLY ACCESS" as if it's an excuse for all the games issues. Watching streamers played it shows how someone outside the fanbase feel about the game and a lot of them who are new players seem really frustrated with all the bugs and the lack of progress and features even if it is early access. An example is one I was watching who said they felt it was a good game for 2012 but not 2020. Obviously if someone is just ranting saying the game is shit they can be ignored but well reasoned criticism should be accepted as it actually helps the devs! I was wondering if anybody else noticed this on the subbreddit and if they agree. Submitted March 31, 2020 at 10:18AM by IfTheG1oveDontFit https://ift.tt/39tfynP

Bannerlord Early Access - Announcements, Bugs, FAQs, etc - Thread I

Greetings Peasants Things have certainly taken off and the sub and the discord are considerably more active than ever before.

PSA: Do NOT attack minor factions

I made the mistake of attacking the wolf faction. Even though I hunted down every lord and destroyed the faction - I'm still permanently at war with them. I can't become the vassal of any faction now. It's currently impossible to join a faction if you attack a sub faction who isn't at war with them. Don't make my mistake and lose 3 hours of gameplay time. There's no diplomatic options for peace with them and even executing every lord doesn't help. Please up-vote this so others (including Taleworlds) can see. This needs to be fixed ASAP! ​ https://preview.redd.it/2nlwryea1wp41.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=143380ae4a0d7f5a2c7e9de9e6e5a92da42ca437 ​ https://preview.redd.it/cqfwhc3e1wp41.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=e00e922df415211ddbae9124a44d2590032e63bf Submitted March 30, 2020 at 06:37PM by Silvabane https://ift.tt/2UQ1EXo

I am willing to buy it for you

After a response here I’m more than happy to buy the game for a couple of people. I’ve watched so many of my friends lose their jobs. I am one of the lucky few deemed essential. Taleworlds have already given me 1000s of hours of entertainment. They deserve our money. I want to pay full price for this game but I don’t know how. So in short I want to buy it for a couple of people who can’t afford it right now. Unfortunately I can’t help everyone. Submitted March 29, 2020 at 09:08AM by Shambolicorn https://ift.tt/2JpO0ow

'Twas the night before Bannerlord

'Twas the night before Bannerlod, when all through the house Not a Sturgian was stirring, not even a Hus; The drinking was done out of skulls with great care, In hopes that St. Jeremus might possibly be there; The Battanians were hidden all snug in the trees, While visions of ambush would find its way to release; And King Harlaus in Praven, and I on campaign, Had invited all Lords, for some butter with grain When out in Caladria, there arose such a clatter We all got to seige, with much more than a ladder. Away to the trebuchet I drew back a cache, And released flaming boulders, I’ll turn them to ash. The moon glistening off armor of quivering foes, Gave lust to my axe hand, to deliver great blows, When, what to my pillaging eyes should appear, Reinforcements arrive, grinning with a great sneer, With heavy crossbow and armor, not lively and quick, I knew in a moment what would do the trick, More rapid than eagles my coursers they came, (didn't even have to ch

Man I love this game

Let me tell you a story from my current playthrough. This is my first post, and it's going to be a bit long. I decided that I am finally going to take a crack at conquering all of Calradia. I've been a mercenary, a vassal, even a kingmaker, but never king. So I started a new character and set out to get a productive enterprise in every city. While saving up money through sea raider farming and village raiding, I happened to raid a village owned by a man named Count Delinard, Lord of Uxhal and one backwoods Swadian village, apparently. Fast forward about a hundred in-game days, when I have an enterprise in every single town except Uxhal. I go there and of course, am denied because Delinard is still mad at me. Time to boost relation by questing for him! Cut to a montage of me escorting his daughter to nearby towns, hunting down nervous men in villages to execute justice, and delivering letters for him (I can only imagine the letters say "look at this idiot doing minor

What kind of character do you want to roleplay as in bannerlord? What kinda story do you want to tell?

I personally wanna start in Sturgia, trade some furs, gain a few followers, but my character (hereby known as MC) wants some adventure, to make a name for himself. So he and his followers leave the frozen north and travel to the empire. Do they do honest work? LOL no. They raid, Rob and pillage, till they reach the cities of the empire, where they soon get involved in organized crime. MC does their jobs, kills who they tell him to, takes whatever he can, that is till he gets sick of it. Having grown a larger following he kills those he takes orders from and takes over their businesses. Sinking his funds into purchasing more legitimate businesses as well as securing his hold on the underworld. In doing so he makes connections, fights as a mercenary in the Imperial army where he masters how to command troops and continues to grow his own forces, when not out fighting he is continuing to kill his rivals in the underworld and buying up more businesses. After a long time away, having bu

10 years..

Well ladies and gents, this is it. We've waited 8 years and in less than 10 days, what we thought would never come, finally arrived. I started playing warband when I was in fifth grade. I discovered it off of some random forum I'd never heard about. I played countless hours, day after day. Im a senior in high school now and I still can't believe the impact bannerlord has had on me. I've made numerous friends through multiplayer and have spent some of my best days cooped up in my room besieging tons of castles. I was accepted to the BETA about 5 months ago, and my oh my is it beautiful. I want so much for this game to be out so we can all experience it's beauty. Anyways, I hope you all achieve what you've dreamed of. I'm gonna be looking for more people to play with.

Definitive Calradian Cities Tier List

The first city named in any given tier is the lowest in that tier, so those named first are on the border of being a tier lower, and those named last are on the verge of being a tier higher. I know a lot of tier lists have '+' and '-' tiers, but using different letters is just better. This tier list is great. Anyone who disagrees is probably a Sarranid whose time would be better spent washing sand out of his ass crack. ​ F Tier: ​ Ichamur: Objectively the shittiest city in warband. Enjoy a pathetic economy, bad location, drab aesthetic and, most importantly, getting assrammed by steppe bandits every time you step 2 feet outside the city gates. Oh, and being the first place conquered by the Vaegirs when they inevitably declare war. Just killed the steppe bandit camp? Don't worry, there will be a new infestation within 2 days. They are fast enough to run away if your party is strong, and fast enough to catch you if your party is weak. Just don't fucking rule

Prove me wrong : Int & Char build is best build.

I'm playing viking conquest, but this should be same for every other module. ​ Selling old norse helm with trade 10 : 600, with trade at 14 I get 1000. I'm not sure how this even works but it does. incredible. With surgery at 10(65%) a troop has 35% chance to die. at surgery 14(81%) a troop has 19% chance to die. Again, almost double the chance to die if player isn't surgeon. It essentially turns player into necromancer. Pathfinding & Navigation : Gives a bit of higher speed, but it feels vastly faster. I can't get exact value on how much I gain though. It seems all 3 of these skills gives bonus exponentially, make that +4 skill is extremely valuable. Then there's also other bonuses. Trainer : At 10 trainer everyone gets 60 exp, if you train 100 troops it's 6k exp everyday. Combined with surgery to prevent death all newbie troops level up vastly faster.

Encyclopaedia of Calradic phallic sizes

The following is the result of many years of long, hard research. I have travelled over all Calradia to study the penis sizes of its inhabitants for the betterment of all mankind and it is in that spirit that I come before you today to reveal my research to the world. The Nords The Nords have the biggest dongers in all Calradia, averaging 8 inches. However, they are so hairy that it can, in extreme cases, become impossible to see them. Sometimes a well endowed Nordic man of 10 inches only has the very tip of the object visible due to the massive amount of pubes. Vaegirs The Vaegir race have an average penis size - 5 to 6 inches. Due to the cold, however, their wangs often retreat fully into their bodies, making it impossible to tell man from wife. Swadians The Swadian may, in his natural state, have a massive schlangalang. This is impossible to scientifically verify due to the truly staggering amounts of fat deposited around the nether regions of every known inhabitant of the Sw

Thank you M&B community

Where to begin? Yesterday was a day I will remember for the rest of my life. My post "some of us didn't make it" seemed to have struck a chord that had been dormant within the community. We had all had fun with the joke about us not making it to the release but seeing the reality I believe shocked us all. My sister would come over on Friday with a pot of stew and we would play until Sunday. She would use the xbox controller and it was such fun watching her lean back and forth as she rode into battle. Her facial expressions were gold! We did this for years and as we played the game seemed to get better with age. Her cancer was painful and when playing she would forget about her plight and become fully immersed into her role in the land of Calradia. Many times she commented as to how she wished she could just go there and stay. She loved the time period of Kings, Queens and of course Princess's. Well, yesterday I believe her wish came true through all of you! I don'

As someone who has never played M&B, why are there so many memes about Swadia?

I've never played M&B (I wanted to get the M&B Collection on Steam but I missed the last sale), but I've been subscribed to this subreddit for a while because of the Bannerlord hype. Why are there so many memes about Swadia? I'm curious because I often end up liking things that many people don't like or make fun of.

Casual Night - Masque of the Red Death Edition

YOU ARE WATCHING THE CALRADIC EMERGENCY BROADCAST THE ESTIMATED DATE IS MARCH, OR NOVEMBER, 1261 IT IS DAYTIME, POSSIBLY HELLO, GOOD EVENING, AND REMAIN INDOORS After four straight years of constant war, Calradia breathed a sigh of relief, a brief respite of peace after the fall of Praven.

Or perhaps simply the Gods punishing us for our sins? A conclave or the wisest and most holy men of Calradia met to determine its true origin - Boyar Valishin did not wash his hands after returning from the latrine. Went right back to eating. I saw it.

Why TaleWorlds chose March 31

Historically, March 31, 1683, Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I and King John III Sobieski of Poland sign a covenant against Turkey, beginning the Holy League. This event sparked The Battle of Vienna. The battle marked the first time the polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire had cooperated militarily against the Ottomans, and it is often seen as a turning point in history, after which "the Ottoman Turks ceased to be a menace to the Christian world". The battle is noted for including the largest known cavalry charge in history. The March 31 , 2020 release of Bannerlord represents the Turkish-based company “Taleworlds” nod to such a grand use of cavalry. Cavalry units are such an integral part of the series, giving the series it’s name “Mount and Blade”. Source Submitted March 15, 2020 at 09:12PM by MrSisterFister1 https://ift.tt/2wYLkvc

Know what would be cool? If battles happen that are so massive or glorious, the system would give it a name, and it would be talked about by everyone.

Like, let's say you participate in an extremely bloody battle and some how win against overwhelming odds, the system would somehow pick a naming scheme for it, and the battle would be named, Like for a very generic example you fight a battle near a random down called "Pikes peak" It would be called "The battle of pikes peak" Ect. Or hell, units that perform so well in a battle could get named. maybe that is too much but I think it'd be sick. Submitted March 14, 2020 at 02:22PM by brainboy66 https://ift.tt/3d4V2wT

Faction Balance in Bannerlord

I have spent a few afternoons of playtime in the Multiplayer Beta since I received my invitation a few weeks ago and have made a few observations about faction power relative to one another in a multiplayer context. In Captain mode, for example, it seems that Battania has difficulty when facing off against factions with access to heavily armored infantry and good shields such as Vlandia, Sturgia, and the Empire. Battania vs. Battania matches seem to favor the side with a higher saturation of ranged units, as most of the cavalry and infantry offerings of Battania are poorly armored and have small shields or no shields at all. This makes them vulnerable to all types of ranged fire and contributes to their lack of staying power in melee engagements. In my experience, Battania's elite infantry selection, Oathsworn, get chopped to bits when pitted against the elite infantry of the factions I mentioned earlier. While it's obvious that Battania's strength is its ranged capabilit

Archery in bannerlord.

Any expert or amateur archers here who also is waiting for bannerlord? ​ I noticed how when aiming, the archers always close one eye. This sounds realistic but from my experience, using both eyes to aim is much better.

Mount and Blade is my escape

I get why I like this game so much now. Whenever people ask gamers why they play games,they give this stupid response: "gaming is my escape from reality" or something generic like that. I never got that though. Games are just fun and I like to play them. End of story. But this game does something to you; it makes you feel like you matter in a world that's not your own without making me a protagonist of some grand story like skyrim and many other rpgs.

PSA for Oceanic players: Another batch of Beta keys were just sent out and it includes the oceanic community.

From Callum: "We just sent out another batch of keys. Some have been sent to people who registered as Oceania region. Just as a heads-up, we don't currently have servers there, the nearest ones will be in East Asia." I was lucky enough to be given a Beta key already and the East Asia servers have been perfectly playable (~90-120 ping) from Victoria. Someone from Perth had even better ping to these servers... Not sure about New Zealand but they have better internet than Australia so they're probably fine. Looking forward to Oceanic servers, however it is encouraging that the asia servers are also playable so the player-base will be bigger online. Enjoy!

Calradic Campaign #50 Wrap Up - Into the West

The sun was slipping beneath the horizon, and the great hulk rocked gently in the waves. Soft groans of wounded and dying men, the creaking of wood, and the salt spray of the sea breaking against the hull kept the silence at bay. The light of the dusk caught the dimmed faces of women and children, huddled all around. A despondent youth lay quiet against the railing of the deck, looking back at the shoreline, a pillar of smoke and the glow of fire rose from the fallen city. The he hobbled heavily across the deck, the youth did not notice the old sergeant come sit by him until he felt the calloused hands on his shoulder, and a flask appear before his face. You're looking the wrong way, son , the sergeant said is a soft, weary voice. What do you think you can see back there?
