Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord - now available on Early Access

A little bit of both. Framerate does drop considerably during sieges between yuge armies of 400-500 troops, but for some reason this bugged one was much worse than usual.

 

Then just wait a couple of months for the game to stabilize.

 

Ahhhh. On the bottom left in the forge is the character and it shows stamina. You can also do everything with all your companions.

 

Almosty Clan Lvl 2



Anyone try creating their own Kingdom through the main quest yet?

 

I am, I think this is only about executions.

 

New patch:

https://www.taleworlds.com/en/News/328

 

Is it even implemented yet?

 

Yeah I've done it successfully.

The two cities with the "bear" banner are the "Empire of Calradia", my Imperial faction.

 

New patch fixed my corrupted save!!!

 

Its just two days and Taleworlds probably fixed more bugs than Bethesda tried to fix in Fallout 76 since its premiere.

 

I said I wont ever again buy Early access game but you fuckers made me do it.

 

They could have easily done that within these past few months before the release. 8 years spent on development and your company doesn't even seem to care for basic game testing.

 

If you read the dev diaries you'd know that their focus has mostly been on the sim.

 

Is there any way to fix this?

 

Seems Turks don't give a fuck about virus.

 

Will be a while longer before we get proper gameplay patches – fixing crashes is always the top priority for any game dev company, so we'll only see more of that for now. I am surprised by the state of the game, however – the many obvious issues seem to be screaming that the release was rushed. REALLY rushed when even the starting quest is bugged (first time user experience – shit that should also rest on top of the priority checklist, and be thoroughly tested. If your game has bugs, you sure as hell do not want to show them during first impressions). But why? This game was in development for an insane amount of time, the devs have been steadily refusing to give out a release date for years. So why the rushed delivery and panicked hotfixing?

 

new patch makes me ctd when it used to just hitch

 

Funny that an action wasn't giving XP so they fix it, but then nerf it. Because we can't have players gaining skills or leveling up in our game.

 

They secretly hired Sawyer to do the balancing.

He's also responsible for all coding, probably.

 

Except Warband is still a better game

But considering Betheseda hasn't developed a decent game since 2002 that's a pretty apt comparison

 

How difficult are you finding it?

 

Doubt it was meant to double dip xp with both trade and roguery (even if it does make sense) since other player actions don't seem to have that dual benefit. Right now, the skill gains (as is leveling because of it) in general are slow as hell; hopefully they'll be adding skill books, trainers and such later on.

 

Relatively easier than Warband so far. Especially when it comes to conquering new cities, since cities (and lords, after they are defeated) no longer have a garisson of 200 troops spawing at any given moment by default (their militia and garisson size are tied to improvements their owner can construct), so when I tried besieging Zeonica for example I had an army of 200-300 against a local militia garisson of 100 mostly low-level troops.

Naturally, some faction will declare war on you sooner or later if you are relatively weak, and begin sending 400+ armies against you. I was fortunate because my first city had been awarded to me before I had started my faction, when I was still with the Western Empire, so I had already bolstered its garisson considerably with top-tier troops, and then if you select "Leave Faction" you have the option to retain your holdings, which I naturally did. So with a combination of good garisson and the occasional exploit like the one in the video I posted before, I've managed to survive the initial onslaught and expand.

It also seems to be easier to negotiate peace, as well. When you talk to an enemy leader, you can offer money, fiefs, prisoners, or even trade/gear items in order to convince them to make peace. Since I'm swimming in money now, whenever I feel like it I can just give 50-100k to my enemies and make peace.

 

Charm still doesn't go up. Also, how do you even boost rep with nobles? Used to be helping them in battle would get you rep.

 

I think i found on forums fix for missing armour

Go to Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\SandBoxCore\ModuleData open up spitems (you can use notepad if you have nothing to edit .xml files with) and delete all
>multiplayer_item="true"
that you find.

There you go, now you can buy all that items that are meant to be sold but aren't. Like the crowned helmet, highland warlords shoulders, and the Vlandian surcoats over mail.

It seems that some items were blocked as multiplayer only.
