I'd like to make a Mediterranean sea mod set during the Iron age, I know factions system and gameplay probably wouldn't fit with that period, but i'd like to try on making it

Camden Wood
It's a shame we'll never have a real game like bannerlord in this time period. I'd still play that mod though.
How enhanced are the tactis. Vanilla had fucking awful control. I need to make separate groups of the same unit please and have control over wheeling as well
Adrian Martinez
you got a point user i am naming my first character conan
>A.I plays under the same rules as the player as much as possible, needs to recruit troops the same way the player does from the same pool so all the lords and the player are on an even letting field Yeah I want to see the AI having only recruits in their armies after you decimate the shit out of them.

Will the formations actually matter? Maybe I'm just a scrub, but I never found a need for them in Warband at least.
Asher Ward
Warband's biggest issue was that all the formations in the world don't mean squat if you're essentially stuck just slamming your soldier blob into your opponents.
It's strange that it died down so fast in the last few years I remember most of my favorite servers being consistently full not so long ago. Now it's just become depressingly empty
Christopher Rivera
have they even confirmed they're doing expansions
Owen Gutierrez
why are medieval games so comfy and kino
Wyatt Bennett
Architecture with soul, combined with a lot of untouched nature
Jordan Ortiz
Have they talked about how the RPG stats work now? Some were way better than others in Warband but even then it was just stupid not to pick all military skills.
you get attributes and skills. skills are increased by doing them in-game. with each level, you get a focus point that you can put on any skill to increase the learning rate of said skill. idk how attributes get into the mix, perhaps they increase the learning rates of all skills that are linked to them? idk.
Julian Powell
How is coop cancer? Coop campaigns are /mbg/'s wet dream. Maybe the modders/eventual expansion a la warband will unlock it
Jeremiah Cook
>play warband with a battle size of 250 >crash Bannerlord can't come soon enough
Justin Carter
>Coop campaigns are /mbg/'s wet dream lol no. it's cancer because the dev said that it can't be implemented "properly" and were it to be implemented, it would be that your friends play as companions and a mod can do that. yet people keep dreaming about it.
Brody Martin
Will i be able to create my own cities?
Elijah Gomez
>cavalry units a.i will charge at anything..even spears >spear units using swordsman a.i
FUCKING DROPPED
Camden Adams
no 99% they wanted to show off the charge so they made units retarded.
Isaiah Long
I don't see how that makes it cancer though, just a wish that's impossible to fullfill properly? Is having unrealistic dreams "cancer" now?
Tyler Clark
It's like three year old footage.
Jayden Barnes
You're in the wrong genre and thread. Find a modded Skyrim discussion.
Oliver Young
the cancer part is people keep asking the devs to add it in-game and they keep giving them the same answer but they never learn. that is the vocal minority making games into shit. but in this case, they'll just add development time and we just want to play the game before we die so we call them cancer.
Yes you fag, you can Most likely you'll even be degraded by dominant nobles if that's what gets your peepee going
Elijah Reyes
Don't project your submissive degenerate fantasies onto me, user. I just prefer to look at cute girls while I play my vidya, there is nothing gay about that.
Zero chance I can run this. Will this support mods on consoles? Will it be worth playing without mods?
Kayden Thompson
cavalry would btfo puny spears like that in real life
Dylan Butler
Would be a risk to try it but the devs have spoken about it being well optimized and if you look at minimum requirements it's actually fairly modest for what it looks like. You might be alright if you like lowest settings and 720p.
Jeremiah Green
We can mod that
Nathan Cooper
>Thatch >Soul
Wyatt Gray
Would horses in real life really recklessly charge into a wall of spikes like that though
It's not really a wall of spikes, they're only 2/3 ranks deep. Heavy armoured cavalry with battle trained horses would easily smash through that.
The point of spear ranks was to not only deter lightly armoured cavalry, but to also be deep enough that even if cavalry did charge they would only get a couple of ranks deeps which destroys their charge. Cavalry is supposed to charge through, wheel around and attack the rear.
Just breed with a chad and have a waifuknight daughter
Gavin Martin
That's like cucking yourself into oblivion
Landon Hall
this but probably there will be mods for that or cheat engine scripts
Colton Moore
My first mod request: Push the battle size even larger. Disable unecessary graphical options, do anything required, to push the battle size even larger.
Samuel Cox
You're gonna get entrapped into courtly politics and the pomp and circumstance that comes with it.
Bentley Baker
Unlikely, even horses trained almost exclusively for the charge rarely went head-on into an enemy formation. Times "frontal" charges did work was either when the formation broke out of fear (lack of training/organization), or when they exploited gaps in the line, further disrupting formations, allowing the greater mass of cavalry to run the disorganized infantry down, like did at Eylau. Horse blinkers had the opposite effect you seem to imply. They blocked rear/flank vision and forced them to focus exclusively on whats in front of them, which allowed them to be more reckless.
Brody Powell
>hime cut emperor qt Imagine
Michael Hernandez
>have a daughter with someone >cucking ?
David Bell
Probably wont even need a downloadable mod, will likely just need to edit a config file.
Julian Bell
>Messy Bobcut knight qt
Josiah Bennett
FUCK I WANNA PLAY RIGHT NOW
Ayden Cox
Implies that the original knightfu will have a daughter who looks the same as her mother and will eventually will grow old so she must breed with another person, so the cicle will go on
>Nord invasion Wouldn't a Nord faction be redundant with Sturgia?
Logan Reyes
I'm talking about the new physics on the swords while running
Dylan Brown
Gamer weebs should kys before Bannerlord comes out.
Gavin Myers
Not really. Sturgia is Slavic with nordic influence, I'm guessing we will get the full Nordic Viking experience in an expansion with naval combat features as well.
>Will this support mods on consoles? unlikely but talelords might grace us and try to do it >Will it be worth playing without mods? of course >Zero chance I can run this steam min. specs are pretty low. you won't get 1000 man battles but i believe it will run.
John King
when you conquer everything in the first game you get a screen, but you can continue to play. but that was impossible without mods since you almost never caught the nobles and when you did you where forced to release them with high enough ransom.
even after fixing those 2 it takes a lot of grinding to beat a 2k force with your max army size of like 200/300. pretty fun memories of defending a castle with my giant wooden hammer and 3 other guys, literally knock 1 guy unconscious every second
>it's only 6 months and a week away I can't fucking believe it.
I'm not sure if I want to go Battania and LARP king arthur or pick my favorite Empire sub faction and make Calradia great again
Evan Butler
Not the other user, but why the fuck dont you just jerk off to porn before playing? This shit looks so jarring that it seems like it would be a lesser experience either playing the game or just trying to get off.
Battania for starting off as the smallest faction, and also all clay is rightfully Battanian clay in the lore, as it was before outsiders arrived in Calradia.
>gets called out on his faggotry >immediately defaults to post anime girls >"im not a weeb i s..swear!" Kill yourself degenerate
Lincoln Morris
God I hope Bannerlord LotR mod will be good. The Warband one is quite shit in my opinion with woeful balance and bad design.
Jaxson Jackson
I guess is Life is Feudal: Forest Village.
Landon Baker
>Slavic with Nordic influence You do know Norse mythology comes from Slavic pagan myths and that Scandis immigrated to Europe from Greenland 9000 years ago right? I don’t even think we need to mention about the Germans and where they come from. Silly little Nordikin.
The fact that they're going to smash themselves into oblivion with them.
Henry Stewart
This, do we at least know why they're divided?
Caleb Butler
CTT When I like building my own faction from scratch
Landon Bennett
Can someone post the image mentioning what each faction specialise at?
Carson Jackson
City men are as slow witted as they're slow in combat, you will lose to the Golden Horde and your women and lands will be conquered. Your corpse will be cold before any Khuzait or Khergit woman ever shares the same space with you. You're not even practiced in Khuzait throat singing.
Yes. One want a general to be on the throne, the other want the senate to be on the throne, the last want her daughter to be on the throne.
Landon Green
>succession based gameplay where you can impegnate people and play as your offspring Finally, a not-CK2/not-Sims game that does this. Gonna fuck like a rabbit.

Just wait till those fruits at LL and infinitychan and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms get their mitts on the game.
Sebastian Hernandez
Yeah assuming they even exist six months from now.
Caleb Ward
>Ah, I see you and your warband are after the fabled mountain blade as well, follow bannerlord Really
Ian Myers
Don't see why they wouldn't.
Dominic Sanchez
What's going on with that exactly?
Lincoln Stewart
Well, one doesn't exist right now, another nearly died and is still in danger, and another has been in moral hypocrisy lockdown mode for years, so.
I still can't believe it's happening. It must be a trick.
Dylan Ortiz
we were truly the mount and blade along the way
Eli Mitchell
Have you actually tried to beat TLD? The AI is retarded, even when they pass the requirements and get a siege going, a single scouting party will walk by and they'll all break the siege to chase it. The amount of grind you need to do to start your own sieges is insane, and even once you reach that level you need to spend a ton of resources for each individual siege. fuck that mod
Lucas Parker
Give 1 reason I shouldn't like Rhodoks
Lucas Reyes
From what we've heard so far, the general is pretty based. A cool guy, with a good head, and is supposedly against corruption, which is what pushed him to fight for the throne. The senate and lady are supposedly corrupt, self-serving as fuck.
Modding M&B is piss easy, user. You only need like a couple tools to do shit.
Now think of the things people have accomplished with Skyrim and you'll see that nothing drives innovation than the desire to get their freak on as a gameplay mechanic.
Ryder Brown
Where are my 100v100 multiplayer battles? That is the only thing that matters
Leo Flores
Kek
Landon Butler
It's no more of a grind than vanilla. If sieges happened more frequently, the entire war would snowball and be over way too soon.
Mason Bennett
>It's no more of a grind than vanilla The fact you need to grind tons of resource points, influence, and the fact you need to get to the rank that lets you do that in the first place, makes it more of a grind. Needing to kill a bunch of enemy armies to start a siege is a good gatekeeper, needing to play AI musical chairs is not. The only thing TLD has going for it over vanilla is the 0 upkeep unlimited garrison exploits.
Gavin Wright
>No modding tools until official release What are the odds that won't happen until 2021 at the least?
Austin Wilson
The first are too scared of pissing off normies so they'be baby's first sexmod site with no offensive content, the second are getting orbital-nuked out of every host over and over again after getting blamed for some pumped up kicks shit, the third is getting attacked constantly by the moral crusade neoboomers at kiwifarms.
Levi Peterson
They already shipped some modding instructions with the beta files, and there's rumors that some modders got a special pack to tinker with
Sebastian Gutierrez
I HEARD RHODOCKS SING ABOUT HER I HEARD RHODOCKS PUT HER DOWN WELL I HOPE THEM NIGGERS WILL REMEMBER SWADIAN MAN DIDN'T NEED 'EM AROUND ANYHOW yeah
>neoboomers Kiwi niggers are mostly underage b& who are "too edgy" for plebbit but get their feelings hurt on Yea Forums and can't live without upboats.
Matthew Sanchez
any footage of feasts would be nice to get something lively instead of autists silently standing around a table (if even that)
Owen Powell
They're just pretending to be straight edge boomers calling everything degenerate while spending all day on the internet looking for things to get mad about.
>>A.I plays under the same rules as the player as much as possible, needs to recruit troops the same way the player does from the same pool so all the lords and the player are on an even letting field I'm fucking cumming.

I guarantee you will be limited to one child or some shit.
Camden Johnson
Never really cared about MP in M&B, but I can see why people would be disappointed by that. My guess it's just a different game mode and huge ass battles are still, or will be a thing.
Charles Johnson
Will we get a Dark Souls mod?
Jace Garcia
I need more fully armored cuties
Blake Phillips
Watch some gameplay. I was skeptical too but it looks good and its not that scripted shit.
James Kelly
I'm kind of sad, because the game most likely won't implement taking damage by arrows piercing through the shield right into your arm.
Nathaniel Rogers
Pstt someone post the daughter copypasta
Ryan Scott
"Lore" is there are nord princes as rulers of sturgia. Think when vikings ruled russia.
Lucas Jenkins
Then it's time to join a 100% slav sturgian clan and kick those snowniggers back to where they came from
Kevin Rodriguez
how come no one chose the aserai character?
Dylan Nelson
Sadly not alot of great choices for that. One is not!jomviking and here are blurbs for other two
"The Lakepike live in the marshes on the shores of the great northern lake, in shacks made out of the timbers of ruined ships. They live by "wrecking" - i.e. luring ships onto shoals with false lighthouses and beacons. Because they're scorned by the rest of Calradia - "all criminals, smell like marsh gas and mud and rotten fish" - they scorn everyone else back. Although mostly Sturgian, their ranks have been swelled by fugitives, debtors, and anyone else who'd rather live by a thieves' code than by the laws of nobles."
"The Forest People are a minor faction based around the Principality of Sturgia. They create farm land by using the method slash-and-burn deep in the forests. They then use the land for a few years then move one. This lets them produce a lot of food with few people."
Anthony Gray
Some of the clans are criminals For example, one of the vlandian clans is literally robin hood gone bad
Andrew Phillips
it's the year of our lord two thousand and ten plus nine of course they're doing paid DLC
Gabriel Wood
>robin hood gone bad
So like RDR 2?
Mason Allen
Damn, Sturgia really sounds like a degenerate faction. What a shame
they didn't show everything at gamescom. there was an interview with armagan where he said they saved stuff as a surprise. also, they'll be easily moddable. they didn't include everything in gamescom build.
Oliver Ward
It this mod any good, also, how do download from that site anyway?
Lincoln Roberts
what is this
Brody Richardson
i love the fuck out of Kenshi, can Bannerlords give me the same satisfaction?
Chase Allen
I heard they were trying to implement cooperative campaign, is that true?
Parker Evans
>wait all these years >"you can age and die now" And with that all of my hype and interest that had accumulated was obliterated. I really hope it isn't so integral to the gameplay that it can't be toggled or modded out.
Asher Hughes
Is it out yet?
Jackson Reed
The game isn't out yet
Ryan Wilson
An elusive WWI mod called Parrabellum set in the world of Calradia - ie. the world of Warband in the 1910s during a world war. Even if you're only a little bit interested in playing, give it a download as it's possible it will disappear again. Had a lot of drama surrounding it when it came out. >mod author asked other mod authors if he could use their assets >some say yes, others no, others give no reply >guy uses them anyway regardless >M&B modders collectively flip their shit and have the mod taken down from everywhere Watching the circlejerk lose it was funny. Even funnier was the fact that some guy made a WWI mod out of nowhere that actually had solid gunplay and a good campaign. Still can't believe Jackson and the other assholes got so upset over assets he made for free for a free mod were being reused in another free mod, being made for free.
Angel Howard
Have fun disabling the entire family system dingus
Joshua Jenkins
>only Sturgia has banditry
Jose Watson
Yeah they've said a faggot mode is included which allows you to disable it
Cameron Green
>want to play Battanians cause I'm a Celtaboo and love the deep forest/druidic aesthetic >but hate playing with light infantry skirmish style, also their king has retarded looking cornrow hairstyle for some reason Hopefully there will be a mod to jump the setting forward a few hundred years like Nova Aetas in Warband (and hopefully less shit than that one) so I can remove Vlandanach with Gallowglasses
