Warband is a worse game in most regards until you mod it.
No. It just so happens that a great game is made even greater with mods. Bannerlord doesn't even have that on its own.

TW still don't have a true competitor to put them under stress. What they do is still unique, despite of the current state of Bannerlord.
Exactly, no competition, no incentive to improve. Where's capitalism when you really need it?
If I was to guess I'd say that publishers like EA decided that there wasn't a big enough market to develop a competitor to M&B.
If anything I would see Paradox Interactive, which by the way published Mount & Blade back in the days. Yes I know they are notorious for being unorthodox on their DLCs but still, they cater a PC audience and most of the games published under this company are quite mod-friendly and as far as I know the company is doing pretty well.
I really don't know their current relationship with TW as of now but I'm pretty sure at some point they would be interested to make a concept out of it.
It fits pretty well their " Strategy first " vision too.

Paradox game are in the Grand Strategy Games category, which has nothing to do with Mount and Blade. In their early days they may have been such a publisher but I do not see it happening any time soon.
PDS doesn't do bleeding-edge technical stuff.
They dont like Early Access and PDS doesn't really do EA.
Most of their releases could be EA in the state theyre in though.
If someone told me there would be no ships in BL, I would laugh it away...
But then you could use Influence to buy bandit troops which earns you Infamy that decreases your Prosperity but gives you a monthly bonus to Terror and if you earn enough Terror, you unlock evil dialogs that increase your Conquerness which you can spend to stake a claim on enemy fiefs unless your Civility is higher than your Lawfulness and it's Tuesday.
I ****ing LOVE Mana bro
Use the tools available to skip the grind. I mean they literally just dumped most of the worst grind in the game just now and a while ago opened up an easy way to get into holding territory. You get up ready and quick fast in bannerlord.
No broken sieges? Mate, sieges would bug out plenty.
What depth and immersion? Feasts? Is that depth and immersion? A mechanic I have put on hard ignore for YEARS. I guess the companions had more personality because they weren't procedurally generated and had things to say during the game. I do miss them, though I barely remember the vanilla ones I have fond memories on the pendor ones (the mod I played the most)
What steam rolling? The stuff they fixed?
The UI in warband is strict worse, there's no subjectivity in this one. The battles are worse, unless I guess you are some wierdo who hates having more options and formations and less weird terrain. And, shocking, without mods warband diplomacy and kingdom management gave you LESS to do than what is in bannerlord right now.
There are not many things vanilla warband did better than current bannerlord. Most of your issues are pretty dated.
There's all of one current game using this sort of mana.
PDox treats their non PDS (the dev studio) like absolute **** and burn those bridges pretty much immediately. They are terrible publishers, despite how much I love their dev studio's games.
And there are many things Bannerlord does better than Warband. You can post a long list of them, and people will ignore it because they're "just small improvement" over the old ones. People only look for huge, amazing brand new features, and glare at the flaws.
In the year of 2010, Warband had illusion to make you believe that you are a vassal or a king. Feasts, the claimant questline, plotting with some lord to start a war by raiding villiages, rebelling to your ruler if the ruler does not grant the fief you capture, lords commenting your kingdom with respect to your current Right to Rule points (I mean even gaining Right to Rule was so immersive when other faction makes peace with you which is obviously legitimize your kingdom) so on and so forth.
Let's be honest, we are playing Bannerlord Singleplayer to fool our minds that we are a vassal, a king, a merchant, a bandit in this medieval inspired fantasy. I don't strongly want better UI, graphic, economy, larger battles etc. I want better illusion Warband provided 11 years ago to fool myself.

I was talking about Paradox as a publisher, given they already published M&B.
They do EA, they absolutely do, Surviving the Aftermath being one of them.
I'm not quite sure how their relations work, if they go after promising projects and studios and publish them or if they suggest a concept and attract new companies and talents out of it, or both, I'm not in this industry at all so those are bold assumptions at best.
Given how Surviving the Aftermath got developed ( making a franchise after Surviving Mars, made by a totally different studio for that record ) it looks it's definitely both.
Yeah that's definitely a sad thing, funnily ( well maybe not ) I've read quite a few articles pointing that subject shortly after posting my message. It wasn't intended, I found the odd amusing.
You got RtR with peace treaties while a being a vassal aswell though, so could (and probably had it) max it out by the time you started your kingdom.
