I agree. That would be a very good addition to the game.

A true feeling of developing a character, companions and the power of my clan in general. I don't have this feeling, seriously. With 20 bow skill I can land headshots all the time with 95% accuracy, with 0 skill in 2h I can beat any lord during tournaments... I can't develop any companion because all of them start with lvl 14+, developing a town/castle isn't really satisfying and the mechanics behind it are nebulous. Before I'll reach interesting perks (like the ability to buy a castle for gold) I will probably manage to conquer the entire land. I want the feeling that I'm DEVELOPING and ADVANCING. It's also annoying that some skills literally can't be effectively learnt, like leadership. It's the main thing that we all love in RPGs: developing your character. I don't really feel it in Bannerlord.

Why would bandits ever build a fort? The whole point of their hideouts is to not be noticed.

This idea makes about zero sense to me, even though I agree the mechanics of hideout attacks should be improved in some way.

I agree that it doesn't make a clear sense for bandits to build/use a fort but it's not the quintessence of my idea - the main point is to create small, neutral forts that can be sieged without a 500 men army. I proposed it mainly to enrich the early/mid gameplay but I was also thinking about doing ANYTHING with the hideouts as they're the worst thing that's happened to m&b. People hate them. Also, you know, there's a lot of things that doesn't make a clear sense in m&b (or in games in general) but we accept them because they're greatly improving its mechanics. Of course there are limits, we can't add nonsense only because it seems to be cool in a way.

I'd like to refresh the topic. I think it's a very, very decent idea and it's worth dev's attention. Maybe hideouts should just slowly turn into these forts after some time?

Honestly: modders had always been doing a great job and I put my trust in them. It would be great if Bannerlord would have a top tier gameplay by itself but I know I will be highly satisfied thanks to the modders anyway. LoTR mod... oh boi, that's what I've bought this game for.

I agree, that the quest should be removed until they actually develop it. My longest campaign, where I created my own kingdom is extremely un-fun now, because I'm constantly at war with everyone else, and I often can't negotiate peace, and even when I can, another war starts in like 3 days. This is just not fun, and the quest is at fault for this, as after it reaches 2000/2000, it stops you from peacing out as normal.

When I reached 1960 (one "tick" before reaching 2000), my game crashed and my save got corrputed. Unplayable now. Lucky you that you can still play on this save.

A little advice about bribes for the lords to switch sides: I guess that auto-offer is bugged in this case, many times I offered like 50k to a lord who wanted 10kk with success.

And about gathering giant army with only one castle and your own kingdom: at first, take care of your influence income. Do it by passing the right policies (just read them all and pick the ones who will give you the most influence), very soon you will have few thousands of incluence. Then pass the policies that will increase your party size (you will have like +120 or something party size from the right poliicies). Also in the meantime create new parties from your companions (ideally from ones with high steward), give them some good troops on the beginning (~25 good troops and ~20 recruits should be okay). Then fill your party and get all the units as high as possible, don't stop until most of your troops is at least T3 and none of them is T1. To seal your chances of winning the incoming war, hire at least 2 mercenary clans (each of them will cost you ~2.5k daily so make sure you have a proper gold income and savings). At this point you will have an army of 1000 good men.

Dw, modders will take care of everything anyway.

Historically one of the advantages of javelins was that they could render the opponents shields useless. No one is gonna use a shield with 2 javelins hanging out of it. Personally I would be fine with this being represented by javelins dealing heavy damage to shields.

Exactly, javelins should be destroying shields easily, rn they destroy everything BUT shields xD also the huge, huge problem is AI's aim vs moving targets, it's overwhelming. If you're moving near a freaking T2 bandit with javelin on a pacing horse, you know he will just take you down surely.

I like that but I'm sure TW will stick to the actual solution. Maybe modders will make reinforcing battles more realistic one day

Yes please. I was searching for a mod to remove the main quest but I didn't find one. Also, when the timer ended in my game (the "conspiracy" reaches 2000), it crashed and the save got corrupted - I couldn't play the game anymore on this save.

I think items already have an average price in all games, sell above should give trade exp and get rid of the "did you buy low" part since it shouldn't matter if you bought or 'otherwise' obtained if you're still taking time to sell at a profit.

Both your posts are wrong. You can buy trade goods way below the average price and sell them way below the average price, making a great profit anyway, so refering to the average price is just a dull idea. Saving the data about the average amount of dinars you paid for any trade goods is like what... 1 kB in total? I see that you just don't like trading but keep it mind that many players enjoy it. Just pass this thread.

The mods will be g l o r i o u s

Agree, who knows, maybe we'd finally see some serious tactics in a battle
