And I get that you have your own vision of what the game should be... but so do we.

I have a genuine question about the topic of armor / difficulty settings and Taleworlds' vision for Bannerlord. What difficulty settings most closely align with Taleworlds' vision for experiencing Bannerlord?

The reason I ask, is that Taleworlds' is probably balancing armor values around specific difficulty settings. When players begin to change those settings, we might be playing the game in a way Taleworlds' has not guaranteed to be a balanced experience. I know many of the long time fans play at higher difficulty settings, such as Realistic, but I wonder if the game really hasn't been balanced for playing on those settings. So, what difficulty settings does Taleworlds' recommend that players use for Bannerlord?

As someone that avidly played Captain mode in the beta, I would really love to see such sweeping changes implemented into the game mode. Hell, Captain mode seems like the one mode that is properly suited for the often criticized class system that Taleworlds is so devoted to and yet Captain mode is still a mess.

Mexxico! Thank you for being so engaged with the community during this EA period. Your efforts shined a bright light during a dark period and your contributions will be dearly missed. Best of luck in all things!

I really like the idea and it really seems like this is how new players would even expect the units to behave like. Why would skirmishers NOT skirmish, but instead just be light infantry who happen to toss a couple throwing weapons if they have time. Hopefully something like this gets implemented once some more pressing issues are resolved (sieges, diplomacy, etc.)

When it was revealed that we would be able to have unique weapons smithed, I thought to myself, "Oh that's cool. I can pay a skilled blacksmith to make a unique weapon." It literally never crossed my mind that it would be a skill until after they revealed it as such.

Given the fact that bread was literally the ration of choice for medieval armies of Europe, yes I want bread.

Now who will have the guts to keep it permanently?

It really was just straight up better, but it seems like one of those stubborn design decisions that they won't spend development time on to change. Instead they spend development time on attempting to balance and improve the class system.

I played the same game and ran into other parties of Beni Zilal that are also all wounded. This appears to be a recurring issue, at least in this game, for the Beni Zilal clan.

It would be cool to at least see visually that capital cities are more grand than their counterparts across the rest of the faction. Something like The Round City of Baghdad would be a really cool design for the Aserai capital city, but there might be some trouble with the figuring out siege AI for such a different city design.

Other things that could set capital cities apart could be the addition of world wonders. They could also provide bonuses to the capitals or special activities:
1) A Great Library (Aserai)
2) A Legendary Forge / Blacksmith (Battania)
3) Grand Bazaar (Khuzait)
4) Special Coliseum (Empire)
5) Ludus Magnus or A Great Gladiator Training School (Empire)
6) Aqueducts (Empire)
7) Special Shipyard (Sturgia)
8 ) Unique Stables / Horse Breeders (Vlandia)

The addition of this type of stuff isn't really a top priority, but it would add some badly needed uniqueness and flavor to Bannerlord.

I've been thinking that there could be two types of tournaments. The first type is what we have now. A general brawl to keep the commoners entertained that has a relatively low value prize. The second type is a rarer grand tournament that would attract nobles and notables to participate. The events would incorporate some of the ideas in this thread and the prize would be of much more significant value. They may or may not be part of a larger feast or festival at the town as well.

Well, we've pretty well established that the cart is intentional. Though one question does remain: what is its intention?

I'm not even sure how cosmetic skins would work in Bannerlord. So they sell fancy armor to people, does that mean their armor is more protective too? If not, that means there is a disconnect between the visual (their improved armor) and the mechanics. Likewise, how long before there are high fantasy armors or armor that is just plain silly? I want to support TaleWorlds too, but I'm not sure cosmetics are the right direction.
