New factions?

What do you mean by "chans"?

I would have bought into this comment, but then you go and insert your own politics, which is the entire point: It has nothing to do with "keeping people in their place" but just appreciating a more realistic simulation on the period. It was very rewarding to play a woman and win in Warband. Bannerlord, is virtually the same experience.

And your second statement cements your political tilt and is just another plug for how YOU think everything should be done, and why, according to your politics, anything else is vile. So congratulations for enforcing that politics is the driving force behind the change while trying to dismiss it. Simulating how things were more accurately in a video game only actually enhances modern arguments of equality, versus the PC authoritarian approach you seem to be married to.

I don't pretend my politics are not, actually, politics. Everything is political, human societies are organized through politics. I have the further unenviable position of have my very existence be political. So that's fun.

Bannerlord does not and has not, and likely will never, violated this sense of period authenticity by instituting a handful of female lords and companions or the ability to play as a lady. Also, like, heck, the game's made up, it's not actually period authentic. We have 1st century celts with 12th century longbows fighting 11th century normans while 10th century Romans look along and 5th century Arabs trade with everyone. It's already late antiquity madlibs over here. I don't actually find the current ratio of ladies to men offputting in the game - snip -

Not going to bite, this will be the only reply.
In case anyone wonders what the **** is wrong with this autist, he spends way too much time on 4chan/8chan any site with similar culture. What's more pathetic is that he probably browses the worst boards, dedicated to sharing video game pornography and mindless repetition of buzzwords which is why he can't give a coherent response, he's incapable. His cognitive functions have become impaired after years of mindless scrolling and weight gaining.

Nice projection, lad.

That's the difference here tween my politics and his. The dilemna of no politics verse politics is false. Choose whose politics you want, and if it is "Well, we had to be afraid of the cultural bolshev... I mean marxists ruining our games", then, mate, I have some bad news for you. That news is you are walking down the line of fascism.

The simple fact that you used the word nazi proves his point against you

Nice indoctrination

I mean, he is peddling actual real nazi conspiracy theories. But how do you feel about cultural marxism?

Not gonna lie, that made me chuckle.

Inaccurate term, just like you saying that what he has said has anything to do with nazism. Please point to the conspiracy theories on his posts
Edit: Also nice try, but you can't just dismiss anyone disagreeing with you by using ad hominems (Lel you are just a nazi of course you won't agree with me)

 

[Affliction]

I like the late antiquity madlibs but we should perhaps stay on topic to avoid the thread getting locked.

Communist/fascist/capitalist talk shouldn't be here unless we're going to talk about splinter factions.... Battanian agrarian communists anyone?

Thank you, I could not have said it better. It has nothing to do with keeping people in their place. It is all about the RPG for me. For them... ooh... for them it is all about the political statement. Their replies hinge on accusations of sexism because there is no rational defense for politically motivated game design decisions.

@Stratigo

That all you got? I'm a Nazi?

History is not a conspiracy theory mate. And you can't revise it. It is what it was.

You guys are like lab mice that have been trained to press a buzzer. Anyone disagrees with your dogma and *wham* you scream "Nazi!" because that unpersons me. It makes me so horrible that I am not worthy of being heard. I can be physically assaulted and its ok because I am already guilty of the most heinous of crimes. It is exactly like the medieval church. If you threatened the dogma the people cried "Heretic", "Burn them at the stake" because they must worship the Devil. They are not worthy of life or, in our modern world, of speech. Times change but human psychology and the tools with which to manipulate people stay the same. The only purpose for using those terms is to silence debate. And it has been oh so effective for the last decade, but people are slowing starting to cotton onto it now.

Why don't we put aside the childish name-calling and you tell me what it is that you disagree with specifically, ideally politely and calmly.

There's a bit of an empty spot to the east -- my guess is that there might be plans to add the Padishah faction there, as well as open up the map a bit eastward, but I think that would be post-release DLC type of stuff (so it'll be a long time in the future).

Agreed, too much empty space for coincidence

 

[Matt77486]

Warband was Crusade adjacent. Bannerlord is not.

Well holy orders predated the crusades

Yes, I'm already thinking about what new factions can be added in later on.

1- An Ethiopian-inspired faction, taking up the aesthetics and feel of 4-8th Century Aksum and Himyar, maybe even with a nudge of Egyptian flair (very appropriate for the Nubians too). Let's call it Kush.

2- A Persian or Indian-inspired faction heavy on foot archers and heavy infantry. Let's call it the Padishash (Rhaegea is said to come from "the realm of the Padishah" in the game files).

3- A "holy order" style of faction similar to the Teutonic Knights, the Hospitallers or the Templars, maybe set in the empty land down under the Nahasa desert, at the coast.

4- An expeditionary Chinese or Japanese force, based on the Treasure Fleet of Zheng He.

5- Early Medieval Iberia? A man can dream.

+1

Not sure why people keep mentioning Ethiopia and other African nations as options for DLC. North Africa was annexed by Islamic invasions beginning in the 7th century, there are no other viable options for a loosely based semi historically accurate "African DLC" or expansion. Tribes in Africa had similar technology levels to those in North America in the 11th century which is evidenced by the almost complete annexation of the entire continent by European powers after the high middle ages. Look at the tech levels of the Zulu tribe during the battle of Rorke's Drift, that should provide an adequate example. Islamic and European war technologies would have wiped them off the map, they stood no chance against these armies.

Those are mostly the west african coast and southern african tribes and such. You can find some decent examples in Africa for a possible faction but I am just not that interested in an African Faction. I would prefer something else.

You certainly could find some viable candidates, but you would have to start getting into fantasy stuff regarding armor and weaponry.
