<p>A thousand years ago, the Calradoi were one of a dozen tribes living in the hill country between the southern sea and the Battanian woods. Over time, they subjugated their neighbours, forcing them into a confederation of city-states. Perhaps they were slightly fiercer than the others, or just lucky, or perhaps it was the one tradition that set them apart - the Calradoi had no kings. Ever since the hero Echerion slew the tyrant Cypegos, the institution of the monarchy was banned, in theory at least. There was an assembly of free citizens that met occasionally, a senate of elders (in practice the largest landowners) that sat permanently, and - when it was absolutely necessary - supreme command could be invested for a short time in the person of an emperor, a title that back then meant little more than the right to lead an army.</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/45

Really like the end of the Empire feel to the lore and stuff, even though I'm looking forward to fighting Catraphracts almost as little as I'm looking forward to Vlandian knights. Oh well, just need to hope the AI is smart enough to keep up with light javelin-armed cavalry tractics. They'll be a lot less scary once their fancy horses are dead.
Battanians have heavy cavalry as well.
So you based your female characters on men? Why?

What I dont get is that if the length of the lance really determined the result then why didnt every nation just went for the longest ?

If you have not done any research about it please refrain from giving your opinion and do some research first. There is politics in the game.RoadWarriror said:At game I do not think there is political featuresbjorntheconquerer said:
Your comment just annoys me because I see these a lot from new people. It should not be too hard to research before forming an opinion .
There is also no reason to think that there wont be any political features since it was lacked alot in Warband and was realised by the developers.
After all, Bannerlord is much bigger , deeper and better version of Warband.

What you are doing helps create a cloud of miss information that gets bigger every time someone says it to a friend of theirs. It gets carried around until people start thinking that it is a fact. I know this is not your intention , so that is why I am trying to explain it to you. Do not get me wrong.

Do they? The only cavalry screenshots in the Battanian blog are light cavalry, specifically these lads:

Who look awesome but definitely aren't as tooled up as the Vlandians or the Catraphracts. If this is from MP then I'm tempted to suggest play balancing might be different to the SP campaigns cultures.

Where do people get this stuff from? I am always reading that I said X or Y, but then when I ask them to find the source they are misinformed.
Maybe I said that two weeks ago but I certainly didn't say it last week in regards to this week's blog.
That was 3 days ago, sir, with all due respect. Though you definitely didn't say it wasn't going to be the empire blog.Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord [EN] English

Does that mean one will be roman, one will be greek, and one will be byzantine? Or are they all the same mishmash of all three? Personally I'm hoping for roman warrior, greek senate, byzantine empress.
It's finally here. And I love it. Good job with the factions, Taleworlds. Can't wait for the next blog.

Sweet Blog!
I've been listening to "The History of Rome" podcast recently, so kind of fun to see where you guys draw the parallels.
Don't listen to the whiners, they must not have been here in the dark days, when it was 9 months between any communication whatsoever.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

Fair enough, point taken. Although that's still multiplayer so everyone will have to have some analogue to everyone else I imagine. Also, both of them look quite different from the SP stills.
Anyway, if they do then that's good for big battles but I'll still do the light cav thing because I've sold myself on the idea now and I think it fits the lore they've done better
Great to see the Empire take the field!
I really like that there are three different political sides in the Empire and that we'll get to pick between them. I'm torn between Garios and Rhagaea but I must say that I lean towards the empress because historical knowledge of how the Roman Imperial legions operated when they could extort the emperor for essentially protection money means that the choice of an empress might be better. If Garios had been less about the army and more about a man for the people, like Perikles, I would probably have picked him but right now I'm more in favor of Empress Rhagaea.

we dont know how many parts there will be.vicwiz007 said:
On the topic of the empire, will there be an option to merge the leaders of the other empire factions lords with your own? I don’t mean one lord at a time by convincing them to defeat, but en mass after a factions defeat. Even if you have to defeat them, give the option to add them to the faction of the empire you’re supporting and truely reunite the empire instead of us being forced to kill and/or exile them. There might be relation loss for giving clemency to these defeated lords but having the option could be unique in the empire civil war. If the other kingdoms don’t act fast enough then they have to deal with a reunited empire.
