On a side note though, I hate the fact that raiding is so important to the AI. The only one who can defend the village in Warband is the player, and even though you may reject attacks from one specific lord multiple times, he will never grow fear of you. He'll just keep coming back, and that's pretty annoying.
I have also witnessed lord parties which consist of 0/1 men (with the lord being wounded), and they still managed to raid villages...
You really nailed it here. Enemy parties roam around villages like flies over a pile of ****. Even if you're standing there with a full fledged army, they'll orbit your village untill you grow bored and leave the area. Raiding the player's villages is like zero priority to the AI, and your presence never seem to intimidate them (fear of being retaliated? None!).
I'm pretty sure this isn't a thing in Bannerlord... well, at least I hope the overworld gameplay and AI is less dumb.
We're almost in June, so I presume we're getting some real news soon!
