Levi Thompson
Have we seen the crafting mechanic? Maybe it's so you can recycle the sticks and stones you loot from bandits. I don't mind it but I need to see it to judge if it's shit. What if it's just metal ingots + smithing skill so you can craft your own armory?

Is this like a legit map mode, or just something a fan put together? Why do some factions seem to not have a capital?
Ian Adams
disable it by cheatengine? probably one of the easier "hacks"
David Sullivan
You can literally mod everything away.
Nolan Brown
Don't need to go that far, it's an optional feature. If you want you don't have to deal with family and permadeath.
Justin Cooper
Im actually excited for that feature desu. Instead of being a single imortal murderhobo you actually have to take your descendants into consideration as they will further your legacy after you're dead
I wish I could play the Beta at this time of day. I hope they'll send out these keys soon.
Gavin Powell
I was hoping some key figures (or at least the kings) were going to get a defined personality and not just the 6 or so template ones from M&B, but if they can die and pass on roles to their children then probably not Bit of a bummer but no big deal

Does that mean there's significant passage of time, and your character can like, get old and die of old age?
Brandon Wilson
There's no way this thing lives up to even half of that.
Adrian Parker
yes but the passage of time (weeks, months) is sped up
Henry Murphy
Ah ok, I remember playing warband and like for the entire duration of my main character of many hours, barely a year had passed in game.
Dylan King
Why wouldn't it? They've spent 8 years and clearly have not rushed anything, and most of the things mentioned are just slightly expanded warband features
Austin Richardson
did they add ragdoll physics or nay? one of my few complaints about warband's that there's literally barely any indication of your enemy getting hurt. I want to charge through armies with my horse knocking people left and right.
Gavin Wright
who is best eligible bachelorette in warband?
Camden Sanders
>isn't OHK or unhorsing opponents with a single swipe
Dominic Morris
>warband factions >relevent It's the Bannerlord era now, Battanians are more relevent then anyone on that list.
Isaac Turner
I like to imagine Mount and Blade more as the story of a single person carving his way to greatness rather than a lineage thing like with CK2. Death mechanics (specifically death by old age) don't really work for me.
Jace Young
I wonder how they got by these past 8 years. Were the sales from the original mountain blade enough for them to focus only on bannerlord?
Benjamin Ross
Kebab is cheap
Brayden Long
Fellow Battaniafags, how do you cope with the fact that your faction of choice is a canon loser and is historically wiped out by the time of Warband.
Levi Reyes
1v60 battles can be fun. >take battle at poor odds >lose because it happens sometimes >you have been executed not really a fan.
Ayden Reyes
By having the best archers in the game.
Jeremiah Gomez
But why are they called the hidden hand then
Jonathan Brooks
What is Battania supposed to be? Southern Germany?
Battania are forest monkeys, mate. You're thinking of Vlandia.
Eli Gray
no, skyrim is too much about making screenshots. i like to be immersed mechanically, like warwolfs feature to improve morale by fucking your troops
Easton Rivera
Here's your multiplayer beta key bro :^)
Jaxon Williams
STURGIA STRONG
Oliver Peterson
No Battania is Irish, Welsh and Gaulish themed. So it would fit them
Isaiah Price
You are a pleb at first
Landon Foster
I have no idea how you came to that conclusion, but I can tell you that's not the case having seen all of their troops. They are ancient celtic maybe, but that essentially is what I meant by forest monkey.
Christian Torres
>my toaster lives another year Undeniably based and/or redpilled
Lucas Murphy
That picture is highly confusing to me. They're wearing 16th century helmets, yet they're covered in maille hauberks like
Joseph Scott
Relatively primitive arms and armor were still being used well into the 1700s in Scotland and Ireland.
Julian Gomez
>Filled with cheiftains who are ""ruled"" by a high king who actually has fuck all power >use Irish and Welsh names for towns and castles >use longbows >famed for cattle raiding >use heavily forested areas for ambushes Literally Not!Welsh and Not!Irish 16th century Ireland was a wild place. The crazy thing is that they were able to nearly bankrupt Britain while being so outdated
They completely overhauled the companion personality system apparently so i can only assume they’ve done work with improving interactions with not just vassals but also the royalty
Jeremiah Rodriguez
You still have to make it to March, bro.
Jaxson Robinson
Mod it out and go full Ghengis and have a 700 man army all your offspring.
Isaac Rodriguez
>got diagnosed with terminal boneitis yesterday not gonna make it bros
Jacob Cooper
Idk if you're joking but I'll be including you in my nightly prayers to ask that you live to enjoy the game
Time apparently runs faster to facilitate the dynasty system.
Brody Gonzalez
Bannerlord is one of the few things keeping me from killing myself.
Asher Gonzalez
there's also a seasonal system and I'm pretty sure they did a blog about it mentioning that campaigning in winter is very difficult so no battles occur around then
Jordan Gonzalez
Thanks, I couldn't find that info anywhere I've got an image for that
hope they have religion added in like Viking Conquest has it they've not mentioned it though so I suspect not they could just copy the Manichaean religion from the Videssos Cycle for the Empire
Bentley Morales
If things are that bad go ahead.
Tyler Wright
Do we know anything about how descendents will work? Will they have their own separate character sheet, or will they basically "inherit" your attributes/skills when you die?
Isaiah Martinez
Nah, at the very least not while I still have living grandparents.
Isaac Gonzalez
I wonder how the game will handle the player character being pregnant.
Connor Moore
wow
Aaron Carter

Jackson Martin

What race are they supposed to be? I know what the others are since they usually stick to a stereotype but these fags have me stumped.

Blake Russell
>built my first PC two Septembers ago on the assumption that Bannerlord would be out soon >got worried as the years went by that my budget build wouldn’t be enough by the time it came out Good to know I’m still completely fine.
William Jenkins
user, I fell for the laptop meme. I’m fucked.
Colton Campbell
Bare in mind this is the minimum for the game to function.
If you want to play with 500 troops on screen, as they're optimising for, you'll need something a good bit stronger. Stronger than the current ps4-pro gen, if you want 60fps.
And much stronger again if you want dat sweet 1000 on screen troop count.
There will almost certainly be a mod to disable this and do "classic M&B" gameplay, but I can't imagine why you'd want to. The Crusader Kings-esque lineage mechanics are the most interesting campaign change
Ryan Hall
I think they're meant to be Russians.
Justin Edwards
There are plenty of days left until March user, and plenty of ways to die
Lincoln Flores
just stay inside until early access and be careful
Elijah Robinson
Oh please, I already sold my soul for guaranteed one month of playing Bannerlord before the Devil takes me.
Not as the system works now, you have to be married and stay in the same town long enough to copulate, though i'm sure they could mod it.
I wonder what happens to the family members that you aren't playing as? Can I take my son into battle with me? Can I teach my kids to hunt? also I really hope hunting is in the game.
Daniel Russell

guys I'm so hype for the Violated Heroine remake in bannerlord /tesg/ will be finally dead!

>World map offering ~3X larger play area
This isn't a good thing. The map in the original was already huge.
Joseph Sanchez
mostly russian/slavic inspired but I think there's a bit of Byzantine thrown in there as well
simple, mount is what they are for dogs and blade is what gets introduced to their necks
a whole random gen family tree extending back a couple generations would be cool, full on Crusader Kings style. >having a chill bro as a duke pull some strings to net you some renown or favors from a faction leader >a jealous cousin who could sic a kill squad onto you >a scheming uncle in a different faction trying to get a war going to get some land of yours he fabricated some claims to
