Each of these cultures sports their own unique types of clothing, weapons, armour, and architectural styles, bringing a high-level of diversity to the continent of Calradia. However, there was one aspect of the game that was a little lacking and not entirely in keeping with our efforts to create a huge, believable game world. And for a game with the word <em>Mount</em> in the title, it is something we thought we should take a closer look at... We are of course talking about horses!</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/104

I'm really not sure about the PS version, but there should be a button at the top of your troop list that says "move unit up" and "move unit down". This allows you to sort your troops, which also determines what order they spawn in for the battle. I agree, though, I hope it's much easier to order your troops in BL.

Actually, something I've been thinking about is it would be cool to be able to create "divisions" in your army. Ideally, this would include a pre-battle phase where your divisions could be moved around a much smaller version of the world map, then when two opposing divisions meet that's when the battle starts, with the divisions arriving as they would where they were placed on the map. Not sure if I was able to explain it correctly, but I think it would lead to much more organic battles, where you could have three or four divisions showing up on the map at different times and areas of the battlefield.

The PS version does have buttons to move troop up or down but it’s just not clean like when you move troops up or down it scrolls the screen back to the top so I have to scroll down again to keep moving troops around but it’s just my preference I guess.

I did understand the division system you tried to explain and yeah, now that you’ve said that I agree that it would be cool. There’s a few games that I played on PC when I was younger that kinda worked like that. You commanded little divisions of archers and Calvary and footmen, but you could have multiple of each division and it was cool. And if you could choose for them to not show up or delay their spawn. And then like launch a flank maneuver with Calvary would be awesome. But also I hope that they kinda make the voice commands easier to use. Because I’ll be there saying infantry 8 times before a it registers. Maybe it’s my Portuguese accent but still. It should be close word is enough. I feel like voice commands on PS4 is better than trying to use the buttons.

voice commands easier to use in home,
go in to internet cafes, a lot of player say, I’ve been shot, we got an archer, back up, back up... mutual interference.

Hamilcar Barca (275BC to 228BC), the Oretani sent ox-driven carts to the Carthaginian position, then set them on fire and Hamilcar died in the resulting melee.

There's no religion in Calradia afaik.

The sarranids in warband are coded to abstain from alcohol in trade. They're canonically Muslim.

The blog is all well and good and the only thing I'm curious about is which type of horse is the fastest? Which horse breed can replace a courser?

Maybe aserai could have some House of Pleasure instead of taverns

[John the Roleplayer]

If their religion strictly forbids alcohol, I believe it would have something to say about prostitution as well.

 

[panem]

Why warband just capture for imprison,
indeed Bannerlord able to force them to be slave (Cheap labour hour) for building road, circle play, trade, farming... for higher productive?

Lol aserai horse's face doesnt looks like arabian at all

 

[Teutone]

As a horserider I apreciate the variety of horses that has been added to the game. Horses are a big part of battle authenticity.

Keep up the good work
