Bannerlord is just like Spore. A unique game that delivers a ton, but falls short of its potential and you lament what could have been.

Where do you guys find the motivation to actually finish Bannerlord?

I bought Bannerlord and started playing. Now I’m about halfway through the campaign – I’m a vassal, I’ve got over 2 million in gold, my own 200+ man warband, 6 well-developed heroes, and my family members are already around 18 years old and almost 70% maxed.

But then the classic problem hit me: where do you actually find the motivation to continue? The game starts feeling like the same endless loop: start a war → fight → train troops → simulate battles → take a castle → vote who gets it. Everything follows the same pattern and it just doesn’t feel rewarding anymore.

The early game was genuinely fun. I was a complete newbie, enemy lords felt overwhelming, and every small victory felt huge. But as soon as I started winning a few fights and joined as a vassal, it only took a couple of wars and suddenly I’m handed my own castle or even a town. Like… for what reason? I literally just swore loyalty to the king. Where’s the struggle, the work you’re supposed to put in first? :D

How do you guys enjoy the game once you’re already rich, powerful, and the whole campaign basically runs on autopilot? And is there any way to make the game feel fresh again without restarting from scratch?

Also: is a proper “simulation run” even possible in Bannerlord, where you max out your companions and troops and then just let time pass without doing anything yourself? For me it always falls apart because my vassals’ 2000-man army just runs off and dies to some random stack with zero tactical awareness, while I’m winning multiple battles on my own with a much smaller warband. So basically my kingdom’s AI feels completely useless, constantly taking fights they have no chance of winning.

Optimal weapons in Smithing (Forging): a second, deeper (?), look - Blades/Heads + Guards/Banners and Accessories. Bit of a letdown

Hello everyone.It’s been one month since part 1 was released (This one https://www.reddit.com/r/Bannerlord/comments/12yqhq5/optimal_weapons_in_smithing_forging_a_first_look/ ).I’m here posting again to go forwards in the established direction from part 1.There will be a TL;DR section at the end. A little recap is in order: last time we crafted every single possible weapon in Bannerlord, but ignoring guards, pommels, grips, accessories (From now on, "Parts 2/3/4")... and only switched between different blades/heads ("Parts 1"), which I expected to determine the overall worth of the item much more than the other parts (This proved to be the case, according to today's data).Furthermore, there were no changes in size at all, so all components were crafted only in standard size. Again, I've updated the Google drive folder I've been using up until now. It contains a series of screenshots detailing the weapon's name (Which in turn is a combination of the...

So I got the go-ahead to write a guide for the Mods to post and pin on top of the sub and while my 3000+ hours of Bannerlord and wide experience with speedrunning this quest covers a lot, I am sure that I might have missed some neat tips and tricks.
