Hello there!

TLDR: M&B Veteran looking for an EU Arty regiment / detachment

Long story:

Thanks if you're reading this. My name is Úlfur and I'm a Mount and Musket veteran, I have over 6000 hours on this darn game and lately I've been looking for a new EU Arty regiment / detachment to join in events.
I'm able to play every evening of the week at regular EU Event times.

Even though I've been hailed as one of the better artillerymen and swordsmen in the game you probably don't know me or remember me, I used to play under the name of Wolvenspirit but then again I doubt anyone even remembers that

My regimental history is quite long and boring. I'll post my favourite ones here, please don't judge me on them as perhaps you hate a regiment but I'm sure you'll love me (Eventually).
- SGB
- 105th Pennsylvania
- 47th
- Suisse
- Nr2

Seeing as I have so many hours on the game I've played as every detachment / class / company there is and have quite some leadership experience.
I understand that I shouldn't expect any special treatment or a high rank.
I'm looking for a regiment / detachment that's fun and relaxed and gives everyone a chance at shooting the cannon.

For hosting problems and all it shouldnt'be too bad. Just have a Client-side host, ofc the creater of the game is the host, the others join.

AI shouldn't be too badly affected just by adding 1 extra player. And you could give your friend command of specific troops if you wish so.

Naturally option 1 is quite easy to make, some modders with too much time could probably pull it off.

And ofc option 2 is quite , quite different.

(And when I say easy I mean easy for people that are specialised in it, get paid for it an all, you know )

I know it's been said a million times, "make a co-op" but few people have actually come with options.

Well listen up peasants.

There's a ton of ways to do co-op in Mount and Blade Bannerlord, but let's bring it down to an easy two options shall we?

Either you have

1) A party leader and the other player(s) are 'companions'.

2) All / Both players have their own party.

Now let's explain:

About idea 1. Simply the game host is the party leader, he decides where the party goes, what faction, what recruits etc. The other(s) simply join his party as companions. They get to pick equipment after a battle just like the leader, but they don't get to decide where to go. Together you'll walk around castles, towns, villages and what not. The party member with the highest skill in something gets used, so if your friend has 10 inventory management, you get 1 party inventory with level 10 management skill. Etc.

Pros:
- Easy to make
- Time stops when party stops
- Close teamwork and always together
- Easy looting system and battle management

Cons:
- Only 1 party
- People that are not the host don't get to pick where to go (though I guess you'd communicate)
- Might be too easy?

Easiest idea by far, shouldn't be too hard to make. But might not be as fun as both having your own party. (though I'd rather have it than nothing tbh.)

Idea 2. All or both players in the game have their own party, each gets to recruit their own soldiers and pick whatever faction they wish to join. Or maybe team up and create one together!
You're your own boss, pick where you go, maybe fight your friend or assist him in battle.

Though this sounds like the awesomest idea, it has some small problems such as, how do you pause the game? What if one of the two gets into a fight while the other isn't around? Will time be able to speed up during certain events? (Siege, captivity, etc).

And there are solutions!
You pause the game if both players stop moving.
The player that's not in the fight will be invited to play as one of the companions / soldiers of the other guys party. So player 2 will join player 1 as F.E. a horse archer in his battle. This way you can still fight together while not being in the same party.
Time will be able to speed up if both players are preforming the same action (sieging together, etc).

Pros:
- Make your own choices (freedom)
- Two parties and your own fiefs

Cons:
- Harder to make
- Way too easy?

Option 2 is perhaps more fun, but also harder to make.


And now the part the Bannerlord team really wants to hear:

You'll actually sell more copies of mount and blade Bannerlord by having a co-op in it. There are entire groups dedicated to Bannerlord Co-op. One with up to 1500 members in it.

Some friends and people I know, others I've asked around would only be interested in Bannerlord from the start if it had co-op otherwise they'd wait till it was on sale as it "probably wouldn't be worth it"

Besides, don't you want to challenge yourself, Bannerlord team? Do something new, refreshing ;P
