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'm the king of Vlandia, almost destroyed Battania (they have 3 castles left) and constantly at war with at least 2 kingdoms. I can never make peace with one and focus on the other because one of my dumb vassals refuses and wants to keep losing on two fronts and it costs me close to 1000 influence to convince them to make peace. If I do waste my influence to make peace, then some other kingdom declares war.
On top of that I can't ever finish the war with Battania, even though we have 12k strength vs 2k and constantly at least 20+ lords as prisoners. My vassals either create a huge army and chase around a 50 soldier lord while all the other Battanain lords raid our villages, or they attack a castle until our armies get destroyed and captured. I constantly see my vassals getting captured when we outnumber them 6:1 in terms of total strength. I'm constantly forced to run around and capture all the lords on my own (while they keep escaping prison; who coded this shit so bad?) and then the moment I have to get back and recruit new soldiers, they turn around with an army of 600+ somehow and recapture a castle or a town.
Then the war gets dragged until I'm again 3v1 and have to look for easiest peace, which is usually Battania because as I mention, we are crushing them in all stats.
Any solutions to this? Any good mods that keep prisoners in prison? Any strategy tips? Does the "War Strategy" option even work? I tried Balanced vs Offensive and don't really see a difference.
