Does this work with 1.7.0 beta or should I wait a patch?

It would be cool that if the distance is almost there but a bit longer, they could arrive later as "reinforcements".

I do understand what you mean and it's horrible. And it's in every game, sadly.

OMG I got Lady Claudora. She's my... you know... first..

Winter is coming!

Please add option to restore previous custom battle settings!!

I normally randomize custom battle, then balance is for me. And I would like to take the battle again, maybe tune the difficulty up/down a bit.

And maybe "autobalance" button. The randomizer creates heavily unbalanced battles in Warband.

If multiplayer and single player is almost finished, it only means that they spend next two years finishing "custom battle".

Another point of archery realism. Reloading speed should be dependent on archery skill. Speed is decent when you are good but putting arrow to nock is bit of a hassle for beginners

it could be nice to have multitiered upgradeable sections of castles like:

- 3-tier walls
- 3-tier towers
- 3-tier siege defense engines
- 3-tier moats

Only gripe is still seing 6 men defying physics to push a 20 tonne siege tower but overall, it's great to see so many improvements in the works.

I think it's a lot lighter than that, also it's on wheels which reduces friction a lot! Well lets say Calradians knew how to make light siege towers and awesome wheels ;d

How big crew did different kinds of siege devices had historically? (i guess animals were used as well?) "aim for the trolls!"

Why don't make the character a bit more agile? I mean, still being realistic...I would like some kind of dodge(not a ROLL), more fluid movements(of course depending on the armor/weapons you are carrying), maybe the ability to climb over small walls(VERY BASIC parkour skills)

At least basic climbing would be nice. But it has to be for the AI as well, so we don't end up "M&B:wFaS captain co-op" mode where player climbs/jumps into a place where AI cannot, and starts firing/waiting.

It would be super if you could barter PROMISES, instead of direct real things:

* you don't have a real fief (for now), but you are at war and are respected leader and expected to win the war. So you could PROMISE a fief for a lord defecting to you!
* or PROMISE money for a mercenary group (of course I will pay, later...)
* or PROMISE secret support once a claimant declares war (a bit like Crusader Kings II / Sengoku) plotting system.

THIS. This would be an excellent addition. Something like a TRUST meter. It would be far logical to begin the game with zero trust and then work your way up through quests and negotiations (this sort, not simple marketplace "bought 4 packs of rice now you can trust me"). Even if we couldn't use the promises, the simple trust meter could be used to lower your price in the bartering system, although that wouldn't be as cool, it's still functional.

But promises, that's... That's something very neat that could work very well, even if you could only use 5 options, like "I promise to pay [####] until [##] date",  "I promise to follow your army when [xxxx]", "I promise to [capture/take/give] you [xxxx] fief by [##]date" and so on. A Simple system that would add a lot of gameplay options. Although it could be a bit late to add it now.

Giving a promise could be simple as generating a quest "Give Jarl Turya a 20000 gold. Time 100 days". If you fail the quest, he would get mad, and perhaps you "global" trustometer/reputation/renown/faction relations would go down.
By the way, quest log should be color coded "ongoing/failed/completed(prize not taken yet)"

Yes exactly. Lannister always pays his debt, what about you? Promises is very much and widely used through history. Think about Molotov-Ribbentrop etc.

Five days to anniversary! Bannerlord announcement anniversary! (in five days we'll hear that the project is canceled)

4. Fire by Rank. Currently there is only Fire by Flank in the game and I think adding the ability to fire by rank would make it possible and quite awesome to use more then 3 rows of men. It would also do so there are less 1 row battlefields and it would also enable there to be larger battles now that you can have more men in the lines.[/b]

Rotation firing for ranks! mmmm..  One row fires, and move to back line etc. That would make 6 men deep formation a "machine gun"!

Well I guess it depends which master you follow and what weapon you use. Clements talks mostly about german medieval longsword fighting, where you don't block, but rather beat the attack away or "yield" the attack to slide away. George Silver on the other hand advices: "ward his blowe with the edge of yor sword". But as this topic is about attacking with flat, defence is a bit offtopic. Attacking with flat would probably deliver to little damage that it would be impractical.

"sphere of influence" is something I have also dreamed of. Pool of messengers would be cool,
one messenger would be send per command (for a distant unit). This would look cool and prevent you from
command spamming (you would run out of messengers!)

There should be possible to arrange troops into units:
* soldiers inside an unit would ALWAYS keep together, even when "charging"
  (current mod implementations disassemble this structure in some cases!)
* each unit should have leader (sergeant etc.)
* if you are very far away and not giben any commands, unit commanders could
  go solo!
* good UI for commanding but not unrealistic way where you can just easily point and
  click to target point and magically everyone hears it immediately and start moving
  like robots. Now the UI is cumbersome multi-F2-F3-F4 stuff with unnecessary weapon choices
  in the middle of battle. Following orders would be good:

* Per unit: - formation commands: 1xline, 2xline, 3xline, square...
            - move commands: halt! follow me! advance! (until halted again; ot for fixed number of step --> hold again)
            - autonomous modes: "shooting/avoid melee; stick with ally unit; free charging (as is now "charge enemy")

Other things:

* nice and cool morale system: no more stupid suicidal invididuals. Scared troops would
  flee away, or seek safety within friends.

* AI bots should parry more often! Now its all about attack-attack-attack. This is why
  battles (or the "shock phase" of them) take very little time, and you don't have time
  to react to events in battlefield!
  In reality, battle of Hastings took long day to finish. In M&B, it would have been over
  for 5 minutes. (in 10 years we might have powerful CPU enough to have BIG battles!)
