It might be all related to the mentioned 'playstyle'. Some people would save scum and that is ok. No battle lost except the fact there is one lost (implicitly). Some others would not engage in the 'kingdom creation/ vassalage' theme and killing looters is not that challenging...Huh, I'm actually surprised at how many people say they never lose. I was expecting to be in the middle somewhere...
And from what I can see in those forums, a lot of players just don't want to loose and save-reload until battle is won or find a way to make the odds in their favors.Huh, I'm actually surprised at how many people say they never lose. I was expecting to be in the middle somewhere...

Yeah, I'm not saying it is bad, just not what I was expecting.And from what I can see in those forums, a lot of players just don't want to loose and save-reload until battle is won or find a way to make the odds in their favors.
Quite normal in a society where we are taught how to win but never how to loose...
Jokes on you boomer, I always lose.Quite normal in a society where we are taught how to win but never how to loose...
I'm one of those people and I'm not really pushing anything to the limit while playing Bannerlord... This game can be very easy and just a tiny bit challenging. Playing with bandits only is what makes it more challenging for me. I honestly don't want to waste time on save re-loading to feel I'm victorious all the time. I used to do that in other games in the past but it broke the immersion every single time. If you are well prepared and don't engage in tied encounters you rather won't lose battles. I wouldn't really put that much attention to those results to e.g. conclude on game's/battle's complexity. I also agree with @Spinozart1 that people rarely admit they lost at something/to someone.But shout out to the three losing more than a third of the time. They are clearly pushing things to the limit of their skill.
Sorry, I'm not pushing things to the limit of my skills... I may be just badYeah, I'm not saying it is bad, just not what I was expecting.

Some say that you learn more from your fails... and I'm a few generations later than the "boomers"...Jokes on you boomer, I always lose.

Jokes apart, speaking about battles and pushing your limits, @CaptainFracas (French streamer) shared an epic battle that IMO worth watching.
You may ask the author himself -> @CaptainFracas Could you answer? It made me curious too.I've watched the battle, absolutely stunning, he disabled the banner symbol flying over their heads, creates immersion comparable with that of film. Is it a mod he uses to create the troop lines? He swipes them into position, it seems.
No, base game. Just left-click drag-and-drop on a move order, same as Total War. Left-to-right faces them forward, right-to-left turns them around.Is it a mod he uses to create the troop lines? He swipes them into position, it seems.
Exactly.No, base game. Just left-click drag-and-drop on a move order, same as Total War. Left-to-right faces them forward, right-to-left turns them around.
Yes.I lost an army vs army battle the other day I joined in on because the constant influx of reinforcements from the enemy depleted my archers and khan's guard arrow supply and all of a sudden I was taking massive casualties.
EDIT: wait what? you can drag-click formations? Is that how I can get a formation to face a certain direction?

I smell easy difficulty :pI've ever only actually lost 1 battle. it was early in my first playthrough, didn't know much and wondered into a fight of my 150 men vs 700... I saw most of them are recruits since I've been going through the lands destroying parties left and right. while most of my troops were tier 5-6. I didn't know that their numbers advantage would quickly swarm me in the melee and completely overwhelm everything. that was the battle that i learned about reinforcements and stuff.
anyways, reloaded a save and waited for an allied party of 100 men to join me before the fight, and won handedly
it's hard not to win since you can easily get a lvl 140 scout early in the game and see far enough to avoid bigger groups that are slower than you. avoid all fights that aren't favored towards you.
eventually i was winning so much i wanted a challenge and fought 2x 3x 4x my numbers.
but losing men felt bad, and the grind to get them back felt worse.
so now "losing" to me would be having more than 20 men die from my party in a 1200 vs 1500 men battle. i usually just redo the fight since i love field battle so much anyways.
