Hey everyone,
I was playing M&B warband
and was thinking about the Floris mod where you can enlist in the army of a lord. I like that and, when i'm not busy with getting a strong base for my conquest of Calradia, I am busy with trying to survive as a Saranid footman
This got me thinking, I would really, really like it if there was and option to enlist in a lords army in Bannerlord. And to go a bit further, if you get to the top rank of the existing troop list in whatever class/type of soldier you chose, it would be really awesome if you can expand on that position.
For example, after certain amount of (survived) battles, and certain amount of experience/enemy troops disposed of
it would be awesome to get some kind of commanding role, in which you can train troops for your lord and gain command over the type of troops you are yourself. For example, if you are an archer, you can command archers to focus fire at a certain position in the enemy ranks, and as you gain experience, the commands can be expanded and or give you more archers to control.
After that position and some more disposing of enemy troops, you would be able to reach the rank of champion of the army. When champion, you'll be able to take command of the army while the lord stay's back. This can happen if the battle is a minor skirmish against some rebels, a battle against a significant smaller army, or against a lower enemy lord then your current lord. From this position you'll be rewarded a minor nobility rank, from which you can then move on to create your own army in service of the king of the faction your with and from there just like it is in M&B warband.
This would be, in my opinion, a great way to rise from the street urchin to the most powerful position possible and would give so much more variety to the game.
What you you think?
Thanks for reading, and have a nice day.
