What program do you use for recording?

Lol when I first tried TDM, I got into the match and there was 5 players attacking one player on my team, I had just joined my first TDM so I didn't realize how bad the spawns were and was confused why there were so many opposing players in our spawn so I stayed back wondering if they were on my team or not hahah, they were not, I died soon after they finished my teammate off.

Thanks, I just joined another discord from a clan in the clan page but I'll join this one as well.

I think my biggest issue is lack of communication right now, typing is too inefficient, I can't do it while also controlling my troops effectively.

Just a daily reminder to everyone that Battania still has a 19% winrate in competitive captain mode. Their equipment, perks, and stats simply suck compared to the other factions, and their units don't perform well in large numbers.

Yeah the guys I played with last night said as much, I have 350 hours in single player but I have no idea what works in Captains mode yet. Sending clan applications the last fews days so I can learn, most people in-game are assholes to noobs.

idk, but part of what I like about captain's mode right now is how you have to play with which faction you are given, and find to the weaknesses of the enemy faction's players and faction unit strength
Not every faction has awesome heavy infantry so different strategies emerge, and I like that.
Although I will concede that stuff isn't balanced atm, but lets see how that progress in the future.
I think that the implementation of this mode would lead to players always choosing the best unit out of the best faction.

Absolutely agree, it would be like an All-Star game lol that's kind of the point though. It's just a different variation of captain mode, I don't want it to replace Captain mode.

After a few days of playing it does seem like my favorite faction (Battania) is the weakest, we could only win against empire by using the "zerg" strategy with everyone picking infantry and charging lol. They eventually countered it.

It's just an idea for the devs to see, I doubt it'll lead anywhere, but like you said, the current captain mode isn't exactly fair as it is either, I think balance would be less of an issue for a Mercenary Captain mode than the original but thats just my opinion and I'm pretty new to MP.

No idea on any timelines, I only starting coming on the forums a few days ago but there are decapitation mods on there as well, enhanced character customization too.

If your game starts crashing just disable all the mods and turn them on one at a time until you figure out which on is doing it, the decapitation mod used to crash my game here and there, usually when you beheaded a Lord, I don't know if it's fixed yet.

They have a bunch of color and banner mods on nexusmods if you don't feel like waiting. You can download Vortex from the website and download the mods straight to it, it's so easy I could even do it.

That's just how RNG works sometimes.

Having a merc army would be interesting but the majority of classes would never be played, and there would be no decision making based on the faction matchup, since it would be the same every time.

From what I've seen the last few days, there's usually only about 3 units picked from each faction as it is, spearman (or two handers for certain factions), heavy cav, and mounted archers, the odd time someone picks foot archer.

I do like the aspect of getting a faction and then devising a strategy on the fly, it's definitely a positive part of the Captain mode gameplay.

A mercenary captain mode would be more like a game of rock, paper, scissors. Sure there would be the strongest combination for taking on rag tag random groups of players, but there would be a counter to that combination, and a counter to the counter as well.

I'm not suggesting that a Mercenary mode replace Captain mode, as long as the player numbers don't drop too low I think there would be room for both rulesets seeing as it's only 5v5.

Picking factions would just lead to people picking Empire 100% of the time, or whatever the strongest faction on the patch is.

Even with single pick? They can't have the best of every type of unit I wouldn't imagine.

I just think playing as the same faction 3 games in a row gets boring, one match was Khuzait vs Khuzait after playing as Khuzait the 2 games before that lol

i mean thats not entirely true. Console also have plenty of budged games and sales. Also Gamepass and montly games bundled in the membership.

But ya the kind of game Bannerlord is and how much effort got into it, its quite cheap. Consider how much people pay for going to burger king or a Cinema Movie which last 90-180 minutes

Also gaming used to be much more expensiv, it got quite consumer friendly. but i guess we have a prime exemple of "give a finger take the whole hand". Imagine Taleworld would be like Nintendo.

Bannerlord Vlandia Edition and Bannerlord Sturgia Edition. If you want both faction, well to bad you have to buy the game twice.

Oh there is cheaper games, but on release every game on console is full price. With the exception of some PSN games that aren't AAA quality.

I only just got Xbox game pass for PC and it's a good way to try out for sure, but you still need to buy DLC and in my experience the multiplayer seems to have a lot of issues with the games I've played so far.

A boar hunt would be good, but no hunting as a profession or a way to get ahead, unless you want to live poor while in game lol. Just as a way to mingle with nobles and gain renown, or as a way of feeding yourself and your band early on.

That's my opinion anyway.

I'm absolutely fine with the price. You'd hate console gaming, every single game is 92 dollars CAD after taxes, even the crap games.

Thankfully I finally got a buddy to buy a PC, I won't be missing those prices.
