I use the macro feature of my Logitech G600 to spam click a lot of stuff. Hardwood->Coal and selling equipment to towns especially.

The Lords in my game most certainly don't remember previous efforts. Then again, I can't claim I remember the amount of succesful circles with a Lord two weeks of in-game time ago. But no, the Lords I encountered this mechanic with I was definitely convincing for the first time.

The higher my relationship with them was, the more circles were added in. While correlation does not equal causation, I've yet to identify another variable that could influence this lower threshold.

just tested it, they definitely remember previous efforts.

Increasing your relationship with the Lord also helps a great deal as it lowers the persuasion threshold: you get filled in circles off the bat, lowering the number of succesful phrases. At one point I tried persuading a Lord I had 50 relationship with and I already had 3/4 circles before the conversation.

Are you sure that's true? I thought that lords remembered previous efforts you made, so if you get to two circles and fail, in a few weeks when you try again they are at 2 circles again.

Level up your charm. Once you do, it's a lot easier and cheaper. Also if you get one ineffective outcome, stop the conversation as if you keep going, you will never be able to recruit them again in the future.

Wait what? Is that true??

I'm sure it'll be added. It was a key feature in Warband.

Bannerlord and it's not even close.

It's OK, but I'm hoping it just serves as a backboard for hand-crafted companions that will be added later.

Depends on what you want to do of course. I think getting a hold of a bow and a horse should be the #1 thing for just about any general approach, so investing focus/attribute points in those stats is important.

1. It's not an industry standard. - No it isn't, but it's a trend.
2. But I wish it was. - Are you serious? That's borderline slave work if you look into it at certain perspectives.
3. As far as a timeline for when developers started integrating modability into their games as a central feature, that stretches faaaaar back into the 80s. - That doesn't have anything to do with the topic, but okay

Incomprehensive.

Would be interesting, but I think for now making a new faction and taking over the existing one is the closest you'll get. The problem is the diplomacy system in Bannerlord is almost entirely unimplemented.

It's not an industry standard.

But I wish it was.

I don't really care either way

Same. Devs should be focused on developing, not generating blogs for needy customers.

Part of this is because crossbows just seem to be straight up worse than bows overall right now.

Crossbows serve their purpose of being accurate, low rate of fire ranged weapons. The reason they're generally worse is because most fights are blob vs blob, and accuracy matters less than rate of fire.

One problem I have with today's Bannerlord is that most of the troops in the different factions are fairly similar. There are some differences in that Khuzait has more horse archers, Vlandia has more crossbowmen/lancers, Sturgia has more footmen+shields etc. This effect is exacerbated by the fact that 50%+ of armies are typically of tier1/2 units that are almost identical to each other. As a player you can ruck up 100+ Fian Champions and have a very different army composition than if you had 100+ Vanguard Faris, but the Aserai and Battania armies are still pretty similar.

In my opinion the game would be more interesting if they got rid of a lot of the generic units.

Getting random spikes in stutter. Happens mostly in large battles. Persists until i end the battle
