I really like living in a country that allows online payment with one's debit card without having to use an additional service

And How do you do That online Payment !!??

well... it only exists in the Netherlands. the banks all decided they wanted to stimulate online banking so they have made a system called ideal that can do this. my guess is that in other countries you should check steam for the best option. paypall is fairly free and pretty international so I guess that might be the best option for you but don't take my word for it.

thanks for the blog update!
but I got question for somethings about demo play...
about AI tatics, you said,

quote from blog 13 :
The battle we engage in demonstrates how some of that behaviour translates to the battlefield. Ecarand, as the defender, takes position on the high ground and waits for us to act. Since the onus is on us to attack, as the aggressors, he is happy to hold the hill. However, some lords may choose to play aggressive, even as the defender. In the demo, Ecarand roundly trounces a group of our archers but only charges in when recognises that vulnerability.


but sorry to say, that Ecarand reactions are nothing as Tactical or Cautious.
you said he "only charges in when recognises that vulnerability", but when in other demo play, Ecarand charges his cavalry in to bunch of well positioned foot-soldiers. and at least it's not a flank attack or hit-and-run maneuver.  he just wasting all of his cavalries for single useless attack, and it doesn't make sense if you keep saying AI's using Tactics. 

another demo-play looks same on these part.
in that moment, Ecarand's cavalries are making heavy casualties to players archers, but no re-grouping after first charging
then all of cavalries scattered and killed one by one.

if you say that Ecarand guy had "I Hate Cavalry!" or "I Hate Horses!" trait,
well, then I'll give Clap for you. but, if it isn't...

I hope that part should be enhance when it releases..

keep it a good work!

+ sorry for my bad english

my bet is on incomplete ai+easy mode.
it is common knowledge that almost any game demonstration is given in easy mode simply because how hard it is to play a game while giving a talk

I noticed that as well ^^ I believe it's something they decided to do after dying on their other demo playthrough hehe. You can clearly see the character regaining a bunch of health, and that the damage to player is raaaather low All good for demonstration though!

Hi, new to this forum. I was wondering if a thread exists to make comments, suggestions, or on-my-knees-grovelling about Bannerlord. Because there are some things in Warband that annoyed the crapola out of me that I'd love to shamelessly complain about.

Not mentioning the facte that the AI did let all his foot soldier looking at the massacre from the top of the hill. He was not cautious, he was paralysed of fear and let his cavalry die before moving :').
