The game seems to have finally shaped up nicely.
But how the fuck do I make money now? Even smithing seems to be nerfed somewhat. How the fuck am I supposed to upkeep an army when all my stuff makes like 500 denars combined?

Army? Isn't the point of this game to cheese-stomp the shit out of an enemy army with just your main dude?

Loot from defeating enemy lord parties. Items are wildly overpriced so every decent piece of gear you loot will be worth hundreds if not thousands of gold.

Can be done, sure, but the point of this game is to get into fights while you do whatever the fuck you want.Army? Isn't the point of this game to cheese-stomp the shit out of an enemy army with just your main dude?
None of the economic mechanics work, looting after fights is the only source of income before you become a landed lord. At the very beginning, quests and tournaments also pay okay. If push comes to shove, you can savescum a tournament until you win.

I noticed there are these new quests that have you track down conspirators, those give plenty of money from all the loot.
Its sad that you still can't larp as a merchant though.

Yeah, After trying out Warband mods that had gunpowder weapons, coming back to more primitive worlds never felt right.

An Aserai (((merchant))) who rules the underworld would be a cool ass playthrough
They delivered before and they are perfectly capable of doing so again. They just don't give a shit.

Hey bro there's a bunch of conspirators in a hideout over there, go kill them.
Oh, someone else already cleared the hideout? Well too bad, Quest failed.

Did they do much work on Napoleonic wars? I thought that was a different studio who went on to make Battlecry of Freedom.

You can roleplay as a merchant in Bannerlord. You can buy yourself an empire if you are successful enough as one.

Marriage system had a ton of roleplaying potential.
Striking deals to marry into more prestigious families in exchange for gold, military service, or other promises.
Or using your children as bargaining chips to secure key alliances or concessions from other lords.
Even the poetry reading in Warband was kind of cool and could've been used to confer bonuses if you made the effort of getting your wife to actually like you.
Instead it's like three lines of dialogue and you don't even feast to celebrate. Fake and gay just like everything else in Bannerlord.

Marriage system is fucked
- can't ask for marriage when her faction is at war and she's in charge of a war party, which is 99% of the time, because everyone's at war with everyone at all times
- can't ask for her hand unless she's the oldest one, which means you have to console-kill her siblings, which never feels right
