How hard is bannerlord?

[Ogagon]

Bannerlord is too easy.
I don't even care about losing my elite troops, when I know that I can get more of them by just visiting a few villages, and hunting down looters on the map to level them up. Caravans and workshops bring you way more money than what you'll need for wages until the mid game. It's very easy to siege castles atm, since the siege AI is broken, and while I think that combat is fun, it's not as difficult as warband on mods. Also, wages seem very low for now, but they are daily, same as your profits, though, so it really makes the game a breeze.

And in warband, the hardest part of the game is the very beginning. Only when you get a few high tier units do you start feeling safe in warband, compared to bannerlord in which I don't even mind losing a battle, since I know that I can replenish my numbers very quickly.

I am quite satisfied with combat and battle systems, from some hours of playing and reading you guys comments I think the problem lies in the economy and recruiting system, which are just to "friendly". A core component of Warband (for me at least) has allways been, that its unforgiving. If you make one wrong choice, for example underestimating your enemy or your income, your whole army could just vanish, your castle is besieged and your villages are raided. That made it so fun and exciting. Bannerlord right now seems like a dimmed down version for beginners (not taking the combat system into account). I get that there are many new players who may find the current systems demanding enough, but there are still many many warband veterans who too want to get challenged.
