The point is that gaining skill is extremely slow. meaning that after doing the same task over and over again and only getting to level 100 it has gotten a bit ridiculous. It was fine at first, but after the number of hours poured into grinding this skill I would have expected to be moving onto the next thing, not having to grind another 120 levels in it. I have enough money, my money per day is insane right now. But instead of moving on to the next step, I'm going to be stuck, just hoarding more wealth while trading for a pittance in comparison to my passive money.
After checking my game I notice I have a base of +0.83 Social +52 and +154.17 from my focus points giving me the apparent total of 7.
Wow, if that thread is correct then I am pretty shocked. That is quite the mess up lol. Will have to jump into my game to confirm this is happening on mine, if so then I guess we might have found the issue.
So is this why I have been grinding trade for hours on end and only just pinging 100? Got to say this trade run has to be quite frustrating.
Unfortunately, I am running on Geforce Now so don't have the ability to mod. I was hoping I could install it on my laptop, change the game files, save it to the cloud and be able to do it that way but from what I have heard that is not a thing that can happen in Bannerlord as you could in Warband (with editing the save file)
I don't think they need to be in open conflict immediately, but their stance towards each other should be pretty shakey. I like the idea of a civil war event, it might at that point push the factions of the Empire to pick and choose what barbarians are going to benefit them in the war(s) ahead and what ones are going to be an issue. But I don't think the issue is with the empire factions but maybe just the AI kingdoms as a whole. It is early days, these are the things that are going to have to be addressed and reworked during this EA period.
100% The Empire factions should be focusing inwards at each other and having to bat off the barbarian attacks, but currently, Battania is rampaging through my western and southern empires and it does not seem that they are going to slow down. Whatever is making the factions snowball this quickly needs balancing because ultimately it is taking away the end game because the AI has already won. I mean, I guess you could rebel against them, but that should not be the default way to do an empire run with your own kingdom. I know you *could* raid one of the dying factions and pick at their bones, but then inevitably you are also going to get steamrolled eventually.
