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]
No, really, I do.
In fact, it's one of my favorite games ever. Like Warband.
But nothing's perfect. I have some gripes and with release so close it seems like they won't change.
These aren't... Hard to fix problems. I get that making AI is hard, I get that bugs will always exist. I get that resources are limited and you cannot add every feature you might want to.
So my problems are limited to design choices.
- Khan's Guard are stupidly broken.
I feel bad about using them. They are absurdly too good. It's fine that they're the best horse archers. It's not fine that they are also the best melee cavalry, the best shock infantry and very good foot archers as well.
- Very few cultural bonuses feel fun or impactful.
I don't know what more to say. I wish picking a culture mattered for more than owning fiefs.
- Related: There's way too much forest.
Ye gods. The only cultural bonus that really seems to matter is Battania's, because Calradia is one giant woodland. You could literally half the forested area of the map and it would still be too much.
- Vlandia has two Lance cavalry lines that both do the exact same thing, but one is worse.
Poor Vanguards have no identity and no reason to exist. They should be given something to make them not just worse banner knights.
- Why must I hold lances and spears in the middle???
Actually, having the option to half-haft a polearm for extra wieldiness in close quarters would be neat. But it shouldn't be the default, let alone the only way to hold them! It really just means that every polearm is half as long as the game claims, but still having all the downsides of a long weapon.
- If I attack and eliminate a peasant party or a caravan, and nobody else is around, who tells their faction that I did it?
I should be able to raid and get away with it if I'm careful. It would make bandit playthroughs much more doable.
- Would it kill you to give me a colour wheel for my banner?
Really? Those are not a lot of not great colours, and even more limited by being in two exclusive pallettes.
I still love Bannerlord. But there are a few design choices that make me wish for tweaks that seem unlikely to happen after launch.
