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...

Suppose you want to do 100% autoresolve and have no companion. If you solo or have a wife who cannot do or learn engineering, you can learn engineering by faking sieges. Is it dangerous to fake sieges? Yes, it can be. You can leave your siege any time, except that you will be disorganized. When a lot of enemies come to attack you, you will have to run fast. With close to 200 troops, I run a normal speed of 4.2. So, even in a disorganized state, I can outrun most armies. The problem is actually the spectators surrounding the siege. The AI will chain them up as if they are an army. So, you have to leave the siege early and quickly when there are too many smaller parties around. You can wait until a kingdom is being attacked by another kingdom, so it does not have enough manpower to deal with you. Or you can fake-siege a rebel clan that is occupying a town. If you have a very strong party of 300+, you can even set yourself as a trap. Leaving the siege will attract your enemy army to attack you. I killed a bunch of smaller spectators after leaving some sieges cause I outran them easily. A couple of fake sieges can raise your engineering from level 0 to 20. If you keep doing it, you can get to level 50 which is good enough for attacking a level 1 wall with level 0 or 1 siege engines. Or you can buy a castle and learn engineering by defending a siege. In the long run, however, you will need engineering one way or another. [link] [comments] |
