people don't play it, simple as. (and it sometimes breaks when they do, but thats another thing x))

If you're in EU, check out discord.bannerlord.gg for community-made matchmaking. NA has something similar I believe, but I don't have details for that.

Apart from that, casual modes like TDM and Siege are still played, you just have to go through the server list to find them.

Clan and Party

• Improvements and fixes to Campaign Map AI:
  • Increased the weight of party priorities (Defensive, Neutral, Aggressive). Parties that have Defensive priority will try to defend settlements from raids/sieges and protect their territories. They will not join besieger/raider armies. Parties that have Aggressive priority will try to raid and siege settlements more often. They will not join defender/patrolling armies.
  • Parties are now more likely to raid/siege settlements that are near their territory. This was achieved by tweaking the distance score weight of the target settlement when deciding where to siege/raid.
  • Improved the campaign map AI to prevent party zigzag behaviour (being stuck between two objectives).
  • Parties that are trying to defend their settlements against besiegers will have a short term escort behaviour to a nearby stronger ally party that has the same defensive behaviour. This will make them engage the besiegers together instead of being stuck in a zigzag behaviour.
  • Added a threshold for changing the AI party objective. Parties will change their objectives less often if their current objective is logical.
  • Reworked the calculation for the location of parties on the campaign map, fixing various bugs that previously occurred, for example, parties from the other side of the world could join your battle or the same party could join an encounter twice.
  • Fixed a bug that caused some parties to get stuck on a bridge/building on the campaign map.
• Implemented a new companion spawn behaviour that will try to equalise the available companions in the game. This fixes a bug that caused companions to be hard to find during late game (in-game time has to pass to equalise companions in older saves).
• It is no longer possible to convert a companion to a noble if the companion is leading a caravan.

Armies

• Improved AI food management:
  • Armies will now take villages into account when thinking of buying food if they are starving.
  • Army members will take other army members into account while buying food from settlements. They will not buy all of the available food in the settlement if there are other starving parties in the army.
  • Parties will give more priority to their food stocks if they have wounded troops.
  • Parties will now on average starve less amount of the time.
• Fixed a bug that caused faction nobles to create armies during times of peace.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

• It is no longer possible to grant a fief that has an ongoing ownership vote.

Economy and Trade

• Elite caravans are now created from culture-based troop templates (previously out of random good troops). The elite troop template that is used when creating an elite caravan corresponds to the player's starting culture. Depending on the notable power, the AI can now also create elite caravans which likewise use elite party templates that correspond to their culture.
• Fixed a bug that caused caravans to give incorrect trade rumours.

Crafting

• Updated the crafting material costs of some pieces.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

• It is now possible to ask tavern keepers about available companion candidates.
• Bandit bosses in hideouts now start the fight with their weapons drawn.
• Fixed a bug that caused the settlement tooltip to show the garrison as starving even though there was still food in the settlement.
• Fixed a bug that caused the settlement tooltip to show two different values for the Governor section.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the starvation effect from showing in the settlement tooltip.
• Fixed a bug that caused heroes to stay in the keep after the town is taken by another kingdom.

• Fixed a bug that caused Imperial Troops to be generated as recruits instead of Headman’s Troops during the tutorial in Tevea.

  • You can try to coax prisoners into defecting.

Other

Multiplayer​

Crashes

• Fixed a crash that occurred when restarting Duel.
• Fixed a server crash that occurred at launch.

Design and Balance

Game Modes

• Added a Ranking System:
  • All matchmaking games are now ranked.
  • Ranks:
    • Bronze 1, Bronze 2, Bronze 3
    • Silver 1, Silver 2, Silver 3
    • Gold 1, Gold 2, Gold 3
    • Sergeant
    • Captain
    • General
    • Conqueror
  • Players will be assigned a rank after 10 evaluation matches.
  • The number of points you gain or lose with each match depends on the average ratings of your team and the enemy team. If your team has a lower average rating than that of the opponent and you win, you gain more points compared to a game where the average ratings between the teams are more balanced. And if you lose against a higher average rating team, you lose fewer points.
  • Players are now able to reconnect to a game after a disconnect. Players that weren't part of the match from the start can't join and replace a disconnected player mid-match.
  • If you leave a ranked game, you can't queue for matchmaking games for a duration of time that increases every time you leave. You will also lose ranking points even if your team ends up winning.
  • If you leave the game while in the warm-up phase, the game gets cancelled and everyone is returned to the main menu. As a leaver, you carry the penalties already described above.
  • There are separate ranks for Captain and Skirmish.
• Added new stats screens for each game mode.
• Added the ability to randomise maps and factions for premade games.

Combat

Modding​

• For further explanation and additional information on the modding changes check the following thread: e1.7.2 Modding Adjustments.
• InquiryData now supports expiration. This allows for the implementation of timed events, for example "Click yes in 10 seconds".
• Replaced the "HeroDeveloper" field with the "IHeroDeveloper" interface. This allows modders to change HeroDeveloper of heroes with their own custom classes. As such, they can now change how skill/attribute/focus points work and how heroes gain levels.
• Added the OnPartyInteraction function to the IMapEntity interface. This allows modders to use custom interaction with custom map objects.
• Fixed a bug that prevented moved texture files from being moved again in the resource browser.
• Fixed a bug that caused new Sprites to not override existing ones. Meaning if a sprite is loaded after a sprite with the same name, it wouldn't override the previous one. Because of this modders had to load their overriding sprites before Native or SandBox.
