It would make sense for personally defeating a rival lord to give a renown bonus and maybe some sort of positive or negative relation depending on their personality and whether or not they're killed.

If there are no mods for Bannerlord then I will become pissed off

Are looters really this big a problem for people or is it just an excuse to engage in some good old fashioned pedant posting?

A big part of the problem lies in the fact that village defense seems to be very low on the AI's list of priorities. Any lord who isn't in an army is either off raiding the enemy or riding around gathering troops, weak and unable to help much. Relief armies for besieged cities and castles are common but it seems like the only time they defend a village is when they happen to see one under attack on the way to something "more important."

I miss the Warband ability to suggest that a friendly lord go and defend a particular village. They'd usually listen if you had decent relations and you could coordinate an effective defense without needing to personally be everywhere at once.

Also, we should be able to donate food/draught animals/money to raided settlements to get them back on their feet. Hell, we can choose to donate looted equipment to our troops for XP, why not also allow us to donate gear to settlements to produce more and/or stronger militia?

I'm fine with the relatively early natural deaths but I think children should become adults (ie. active characters able govern, lead parties etc.) at an earlier age, 18 seems too high. It varies by time and place of course but overall it wasn't uncommon for people in their mid-teens to be taking on what we would consider adult responsibilities.

Couldn't disagree more, I love being able to use terrain to corral and trap faster parties or perform pincer attacks. Warband's map is a few islands of interesting geography in a sea of featureless and mostly empty flatness. Bannerlord's map still has plenty of open areas but I think the overall higher density of obstructions and locations makes each region feel more unique.

In Warband sieges were pretty lame and boring due to limited choice of approaches, but I "played" defense all the time. I use the term played lightly since usually I just went and made a sandwich or something while a few dozen high tier infantry held the ladder so a handful of elite archers could slaughter literally thousands of enemies.

In Bannerlord sieges are pretty lame because the AI can't handle most of the potential avenues of attack or on the flipside can't handle blocking the main gate (which is where the breakthrough almost inevitably comes) so that the attackers can be pelted with arrows and stones from the murder holes above, opting instead to form a square 20 feet back and allow themselves to be surrounded and slaughtered by attackers pouring in.

My point is, Bannerlord does in fact offer a new experience as sieges suck in novel and counter intuitive ways that give us something to post about when we should be working, so we should be grateful

Ironmode is the only way to play PoP imo. I came to it in the same condition you did as a Vanilla veteran looking for a challenge and that first game was my longest and still favourite. Most of the general knowledge you pick up in Warband carries over and serves you well and as long as you keep the much more dangerous nature of Pendor's NPCs in mind you should do just fine.

Whenever I found Pendor, I always try to take Ethos asap and make it my capitol. The main reason I do is because of the unusually high number of villages it has attached. I keep the villages for myself for a time as well and build the most profitable upgrades available while simultaneously raising my realation with each of them to increase the number of recruits being fed into Ethos' garrison. By the time the villages are well upgraded and ready to be given away to my vassals, I have a huge number of recruits ready to quickly train up and give away, my vassals have excellent incomes and I reap the rewards of taxing all the goods these prosperous,productive fiefs are sending to market in Ethos. I then repeat this process with other towns as I expand.

Merry Christmas to all of us trapped in Pendor, and to all the devs who've trapped us!

Definitely aim to found an enterprise in every city. They can be a great source of profit early on and later their offsetting of your weekly wages can mean the difference between breaking even and haemorrhaging cash.

I used them heavily in one of my playthroughs, and while they're certainly not the best of the best stats wise, you also certainly won't be crippling yourself if you decide to use them.They get the job done as heavy cav in the field and fight well on foot as well with their morningstars and swords, plus the Plaguewardens are a solid all-round infantry troop for supplementing your garrison or giving to undermanned vassals.

When I'm running a pure Pendor army, I like to make my Infantry component a 75/25 mix of Swordsmen and MAAs. The Swordsmen are a superior unit overall, but having those MAAs mixed in with them helps you take out incoming charges, and since MAAs don't outrun other Inf like the  Bersekers and Gladiators that fill a comparable roll, you don't need to worry about making them a separate group. They can just be part of the foot blob.

If you tell your men to charge for just a second you can figure out roughly where the AI is hiding by using their own cheap tactics against them.

They key to success with cav archers is micromanagment. Use them as a diversion to pepper your enemy with arrows from the flanks or rear while you move your own forces into position. You can often use them to "pull" your opponent's army if you hold fire until all your forces are in position and let your cav archers get the first kill. The AI will often charge toward them, leaving their backs exposed to your foot archers and cavalry charges and allowing you to move your infantry in for the kill. If you pay attention you can often pull this off with no losses to your cav archer group.

The fog of war...

Only troops in your party get XP, sadly. And while garrisoned troops are automatically upgraded over time (if you have the right fief additions, as said above) it takes fooooreeeeverrrr and really isn't practical as a reliable means of training.

These guys are kinda the AI version of the player character. They'll work for the factions if they want to but have the resources and chutzpah to act on their own as well.

If the king accepts (and he should unless you have negative relations with him personally) then yes, you join and bring any property you've managed to acquire on your own with you as your fiefs.

I thought it was great too but the fact is, there are only so many people in Pendor willing to undergo gender reassignment and it would be cruel to start forcing it onto unwilling knights.
