Beta Branch Patch Notes e1.2.0

[CyberJam]

Event log when

 

[Charlini]

Allow us to simulate looter/low tier fights without casualties again, it was a great farming method. Or allow it via perk on Tactics.

Perks overall need beter options... the ones from two handed outmatch drasticly one handed or polearm, same with bow on top of crossbow one. Could say the same about some, that are way worse than Trade(before patch, not sure now) and Leadership.

Perhaps consider this 2 things! @Callum

 

[Raunchy]

I really dont get it, how hard it is to fix simple perks like +3 arrows? Seriously? Thats really hilarious that they are playing around with caravans but cant fix those small and simple things. Half of the perks, especially low tier do not work. You're just leveling up to click empty buttons in skill list.

thanks but if it possible please put your update files in this forum

 

[kefaso]

I'm finally able to see new armors in towns. Have checked a few Aserai, several Vlandian and 1 imperial city and saw new armours in all except the imperial one.

The new armours were high-end but also mid-level.

 

[Garderoben]

In the new Beta 1.2 Auto resolve battles seems to end with massive dead on my side against... looters.

 

[SissiJaeger]

Siegetowers are not working... Just sieged a city and still they use 1 ladder if they use ladders on towers at all.

 

[MGD]

It's not going good for me tho, when i play in my old save game it's working
but when i try to start new game it just crash,
anyone else got the same thing ? or my game is broken ?

 

[danielpm307]

thanks but if it possible please put your update files in this forum

we can do it manually and game will not be broken ,

 

[wagonmaker]

This looks like good changes.

Two bugs I have encountered:
I have several companions that are stuck in a battle against several nobles that won't end. One side of the battle has zero people not wounded but it wont end. When I try to join the attack, it leaves the side bar blank instead of lead the attack, and it won't let me escape so I have to reload a previous save.

Also, I don't know why but diplomacy is way off. Every 5 days my kingdom (which is just me and one companion because the others are stuck) declares war on someone random. It's make that save unplayable since more than half of my army is stuck and I am at war constantly with everyone. This could be a result of the every growing noble battle that includes 4 factions including my own.

 

[Dodgy]

Please fix the auto resolve... an army of 200 with all t5/6 getting casualties against 10 naked looters throwing stones... come on... why do I have to waste time and take part on a fight like this to avoid losing my precious high tier units.... it was already ridicolous before when they would get knocked out, but now it's beyond belief.

Obviously TaleWorlds are folowing their path and their plans until the game is leaving EA. They just implement changes that are meant ready for testing, they have Public game and a Closed Internal game, it may seem like they dont care and dont communicate but thats because they have their internal people testing it as well. Those unseen changes might be hardcoded changes and core structure of engine tweaks made to make basis of the game which can influence future updates. We don't know all of this because they dont communicate and we are angry at them because of people can't make assumptions how they work.

Exactly!

 

[aamatniekss]

Speaking of skill perks, would be nice if we could have a little [not working] sign for all the perks that are currently not working in game.

 

[Pejot]

Is it just me or hideouts are easier now? I recently destroyed 4 that were around 52 bandits and after update they were like 15 bandits inside?

Known Issues
https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/known-issues-updated.401168/

Any updates on when all perks will be operational? I want to use "one step ahead" ?

 

[Koshkasa]

I hope it as good as it sounds, great job TW.

It is. Not a single lag spike in that patch so far.

Previously I had to periodically watch low-resolution slideshows on sieges and frequent second-long freezes during field battles were the norm.

Using Intel i7-3770, by the way. The old work horse is still kicking.

 

[h1zchan]

Yup def noticed the dumbing down of AI. Ranged units now seem unable to hit cav units at all, and cavs just charge straight into infantry instead of skirmishing with enemy cavs first. We're back to Warband era AI, but if we wanted that we could of just played warband instead of paying $50 for Bannerlord.

That said cudos to Tworld devs for working under mounting (no pun intended) pressure to pump out daily updates. All the updates up to 1.1 have been amazing and each update brought new quality of life improvement. Bannerlord is well worth a buy

 

[Androme1]

Great patch! I love the economy fixes! There needed to be some nerfs to income from Caravans and Workshops especially! Now people will actually have to think ahead
