It really doesn't matter because Taleworlds doesn't listen to feedback.
He clearly said training dummies so the bots wouldn't have an attack.
With development being so slow what are people meant to do. The mp barely gets anything even though there's tons of potential. Taleworlds should probably hand the mp over to a player assembly made of the BRE, CC etc. I know the CC people for instance are very balance focused and do a better job than Taleworlds much of the time. Of course this would never happen as it is a shot in the dark but it's not without precedent, Blizzard handed starcraft 2 over to high level players for balancing when they no longer wanted to work on it and it generally looks like Taleworlds doesn't want to develop MP.
Even the strongest unit can only take a few hits from the weakest. The deciding factors of a duel are 50% player skill, 30% class pick and 20% random chance/others getting involved.
Considering you have a very new account you're probably not the best person to say this. But as a 2017 account which for some reason gives me some credit, yes MP has been a big part of the community for a long time and it was even bigger in Warband the small size today is solely taleworlds messing up bannerlord mp.
Please duel me, I'll prove to you that recruit or the empire isn't terrible. You could also listen to what everyone is saying. Or you could look at the actual stats for things like empire win rate and recruit versus other troops.
No, he's the hero we need to balance multiplayer and stop the onslaught of the devastating vlandian peasant levy which can destroy entire armies by itself. After that is fixed bannerlord will go on to become the largest multiplayer game ever.
Why would you even match make, join everyone else in the TDM server afking for loot.
Taleworlds need to do a soft relaunch to actually get people interested again. Because their dev update that contains a reference to adding 1 net helmet to the cosmetic shop that takes 5 hours of grinding on public servers to unlock doesn't entice anyone.
That's persistent empires so play that.
Taleworlds is small indie study please understand.
