Your warband mod was my favorite crusader mod out there, but there are some things I didn't like which i hope you include in the mod for bannerlord:

1: New Factions like the County of Tripoli with its own unique rooster. if you wish to leave it in the Kingdom of Jerusalem at least improve the rooster like you did with Ibelin.
2:Make it clearer what Cyprus was cause currently it was most unclear.
3: In the warband version you boasted on some new system of Duchies or whatever existing within major factions where the dukes commanded their own vassals, a system which I never got to experience because I never reached day 500 in the game yet, especially with Jerusalem getting eaten up by day 100. Perhaps this time design the entire mod around this system. Make new leaders of mini factions of the Kingdoms, like balian or Raymond, Templars or Hospitallers, and give them their own vassals from the START of the game, and with some proper and USEFUL rooster trees, maybe as useful as Armenia's
4. If you turn characters into mini leaders within major factions, add new characters for them to rule over.
5: Do not make the muslims especially the Ayyubids a juggernaut. There is a fine line between historical accuracy and stealing away the time of a real life person who simply wants to play but cant cause he is destined to suffer the consequences of historical events.
6: Fix naval battles, if there are going to be any since bannerlord doesn't have them yet.
7: Make it clearer to the player EXACTLY how and where to find the troops he wishes to recruit within the system you wish to subject him to based on the feudal system of the time.
8: Revise the troop trees of all factions, and how they compare with each other such as almost all the Jerusalem troops being upgraded and the Byzantine troops not being able to get upgraded at all. Do not have ghost troops, like the Spathariai is still a mystery for me to this day on where you can recruit them.
9: Be fair on troop balancing, you can't have the Jerusalem troops on average being weaker against Muslims as if their armor is made out of paper. Because of this, if a muslim lord of 120 men clashes with a crusader lord of 120 men, 90% of the times the christians always lose cause their troops die like flies. Visually the crusaders knight's armor looks formidable and yet the armenians have meare chainmail on all their troops and they have one of the most OP troop roosters currently, and their troops always win on a 1 vs 1.
10: Make other factions troops trees as useful as Armenia's, or please do something about f**** Armenia. Armenia gets everything they spam heavy cavalry like turks, horse archers like Egyptians. They have OP heavy infantry with better shields than any European and the most Op skirmishers and the only ones who get 2 handed axes as their main weapon. They even get the coolest shield designs.
11: Did I mention balance out Armenia?
12: Give the player the ability to found his own faction. It's his time that he's spending on your mod, he might want to have the chance to recreate the County of Edessa, with its own troop tree, or maybe have the chance to become faction leader to perhaps help out the horrible AI. It's a vanilla feature, removing it is actually more work for you.
13: Do something about repetitive siege scenes, introduce the actual places that existed at the time, to make the game interesting. Players dont play this game to ride around an empty map, they want to say "This is my castle". Most of the castles that existed weren't that large back then anyways.
14: Fix the instructions within the game concepts of the game about your mod.
15: Please correct any english text that exists in your mod, especially about crucial things like instructions. If you only speak Chinese then ask for someone's help.
16: If you wish to have a system about the breaking of weapons and armor, also make a clear system on where the player can go and fix them.
17: Expand your mod options, the player might want to disable Horse slowdown, the breaking of weapons or shield bashing. Currently you have an option which only disables the shield bashing done by the players but the AI continues to bash you regardless.
18: Do something about the bots who spam kick every 2 seconds at the player, which after a while it begins to get frustrating. Every time i enter the tavern with a hashashin even if I have the best armor and weapons in game he kills me every time by spam kicking me. If I try to spam kick him or any bot in battle as well it doesn't work as well as them doing it. How is this fair?
19: If you allow the player to start as a lord or king, do not make him start from level 1. There are some mods which have accomplished this.
20: Starting as a lord at the start of the game gets you bankrupt as it takes a while for income to kick in and takes great skill to get out of it. Perhaps do something about it. And perhaps calculate how many troops a player lord should be given at the start of a game based on his income.
21: Since this is bannerlord, perhaps it's time to focus more on the orders and perhaps add some new ones or improve the roosters of current ones. There is Lazarus, Sepelcure, StJacques de l'Epee and Teutons. And make it clearer to players on how to join them.You could even add special troops on certain locations for them to be recruited, such as royal Jerusalem guards or Eddessan or Antioch guards.
22: Make a clear system for the player on how he can recruit special troops based on region, like Ibelin or Tripoli troops.
23: Fix up the NPC companions, give them a background or make it clear what their talents are. Adding more NPC's wouldn't hurt.
24: Make it clearer on how the Byzantine Emperor Andronicos can get overthrown and be replaced by Komnenos cause currently I don't understand sh**.
25: Make sure you figure out the exact siege weapon system you wish to have, with no bugs and make their necessities clear. tell the player on where to find engineers if you make it a requirement and give the player the opportunity to recruit them more often.
26: Revise the balancing of sides in siege battles. Certain castles can be way too OP for the defender or attacking side especially concerning artillery, making the player lose battles even if he has managed to gather up all the lords of his realm. Artillery used by the AI can be as accurate as cannons in Napoleonic Wars.
27: Make sure the Strategy AI is balanced. You can't have the Ayubbids gather 20 lords effectively and take cities every 10 days and having the kingdom of Jerusalem chasing their tails like dogs, spending 100 days without atleast taking any castle or successfully repulsing a single attack. Currently the AI between the Byzantine Empire and Turks is very well balanced.
28: You need to do something about everyone ganging up on Antioch from the start of the game. Why are they even at war with Armenia from the start of the game. Aren't they supposed to be allies?
29: Revise whether the price of items is fair. So far it's good but I can handle it because i'm old player. Maybe some things are excruciatingly expensive. Its ok for a good armor to be 10 or 20k or even 50k, but 120 and 200k?? Make it clearer to the player on whether horses in your inventory help in travel speed, because so far it's a mystery. If that is so, make horses cheaper, especially since they die so easy in battle with the current system.
30: Also, control yourself when designing custom skins for troops like the Hospitaller order is one example. Maybe red is your favorite color but maybe use more black than red. This is the Levant not Rhodes. Keep designs and crosses simple. Back then they weren't into exaggerated designs and like the templars they mostly had straight, thin red line crosses on their shields. Currently you giving too much red on Hospitallers and too much black on templars.
31: I might be wrong but so far I see grandmasters of orders not holding any special powers or privileges compared to other members. it's time you made them more special.
32: Finally, Do not focus too much on spending hours developing some freelance system when the base game is left broken. Extra flavor features are just a special extra icing , but it's useless without the cake.

If you implement these changes i would be extremely grateful.

Sorry for,eee,being late,i assume i can help time by time,what born story?

Just some character with amedieval Armenian story. Like a noble who's father served in Bagratid Armenia.

Click to expand...

Writings about usual people not preserved,even religious books destroyed by nomads,hordes,in Russian empire was prohibited armenian literature,and in Ussr in 1965 A.D. were uncovered hideout of 20 000 religious literature,saved from nomads,hordes,and communists burned it.
I can say something about that times,9-11 centuries were expulsion of sectants,tondrakians and pavlikians from Armenia,Our priests,with hot iron,printed on their forehead-sectant- and expel them,in europe catholics sin,kill,here that.Thousands expelled to west,near Melitine,some romanised,became Eastern Romans,some later repent and turn back.Even 100 years past who commit adultery,theft,expelled from villages,towns,So in parts where european influence were less,must not be brothel.And even when many of nobility renounce faith(13-14 centuries) and accepted catholicism,lower class people usually follow Apostolic Church.
Some  story.... eeh.
If you say some details, what story i can help.What story you want?Knight,peasant,in run or?
Story of Vengeance i think is actual in that time.
We were naive nation in that times,because of soul cleanness,Attend Church in that times,and keep fast.Our soldiers usually won battles with small forces against big,usually in all history.I happen a european talking abot medieval,who said phrase-5 turks needed to match one greek(with cleverness),5 greeks needed to match one jew,and 5 jews needed to match one armenian.-,I not listened such phrases from other armenians,but if european says,i think so,because have many things to shake heads,from history.About trade,we had good traders everytime,and in that times honourable traders.I remember explaining of number zero by medieval armenian,in Venice.(sorry for bad english)-Zero is that number,what by itself worth nothing,but when added to number from right,increase it ten times.-,eeh in english not so good.Also mat(t as in puerto) in armenian means finger and mat e mat-finger to finger,so matematica means finger to finger,maybe in early times counted with fingers.
You can put one armenian trader,son of Noble,who's father wanted for him Soldier work,and he said that can not,he love science,and his father hows in english,remove him from house,saying-Go,and never come upon my eyes until (eeh)you come to me with honour and sword(Patwow yew srov in armenian).

In 1.1 the sieges seems to be more intensive for CPU, maybe due to more archers ? I had a siege at normal battle size with many archers and siege tower an i crashed very fast. Also i've forgot to set max_framerate = 120, this help quite much performance so i will retry now with this new setting.

Downloaded the patch. Thanks.

Just a stupid questions: any chance of female player character?
After all ... Eleanor of Aquitaine co-lead a crusade.

It's perfectly understandable if you don't add that. Just wondering.
