1500+ hours in Warband, yet can’t get into Bannerlord and I don’t know why

I’ve invested 1500+ hours into Warband over the course of my 27 years of life. Only other game I may have put more hours into is World of Warcraft. I was beyond excited to play Bannerlord as it got closer to release… yet I’ve put barely 20ish hours into it in the 5 years it’s been available, and I don’t know why I just can’t get into it. Even downloaded lots of mods to spice the game up and it just isn’t working, and I really haven’t had any desire to play the game, even after the announcement of War Sails. Anybody else feel similar? submitted by /u/bds98 [link] [comments]

Battle strategy

I play on max difficulty. I absolutely obliterate any army that’s 1.5x my size or less, but I’m always trying to get better. Current formation/tactics:

40% archers, usually a mix of fian champs and xbows 20% infantry, usually heavily weighted towards legionary 30% cavalry, almost entirely druzhniks or elite cataphracts 10% mounted archers, don’t really care what they are so long as they’re t5

Tactics: shield wall 10-20 paces in front of archer wall, preferably lower in altitude so archers can fire over Archers spread (f2+f3) Horse archers immediately behind Cavalry immediately behind, also spread

Everyone on hold fire till 185 distance Horse archers and archers fire Usually knock out a significant number of troops. 100 distance before enemy cav hits, horse archers on f6 - they usually distract enough that there isn’t a full charge wrecking my infantry, and my archers are slaughtering horses anyway 20 distance before infantry meet, infantry fire 10 distance before infantry meet, cavalry full charge. As soon as it crushes thru, send cavalry on to archer line (if it still exists) or send it to a point so I can bring it immediately back for another organized charge against infantry If they pull back to regroup with reinforcements, I move my archers to the gap between archers and infantry to inevitably pick the 100-200 arrows up, rinse and repeat

My question: people seem to be more nuanced than me, using things like shock troops (what are those and why would I use them?), light cavalry (what’s the point also?). Would love thoughts on other unit types, as well as general strategy for maximizing victories/minimizing casualties.

Last time I actually lost an open, pitched battle I was outnumbered 3.5:1 and there were absolutely zero hills to use. TIA!

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.

Worth a post.

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
