I've played warband for over 2000 hours. I wasn't talking about defections, yeah defections made a mess but in bannerlord it gets confusing even in early game and its boring seeing every lord in same colours, only problem with warband is the defections but mods solved that with making lords change culture depending on their factions. I was hoping for a similar approach before the release of bannerlord.

If you are reporting a bug, please head over to our Technical Support section for Bannerlord.
Please change the dye colours for the Northern (or Eastern/"southern") empire. They are way too similar.

So instead it should look like a tye-dye rave? You have icons to help you tell who is who. There is no need for anyone gambling about in fuchsia or chartreuse. It looks unrealistic and silly. There should be an option to turn off faction cloth colorization.
So you would rather have to turn on those annoying floating circles?
I think that looks even more unrealistic and silly. An option, sure. Just don't force it.
How about using the banner mod? That helps a lot since you can see the color differences more clearly as well as banner sigils.ilianmeiss I am afraid he's beyond help but quite funny sorry bro XD
I'm so sorry, but that is hilarious to imagine!
Well, you don't need to be colorblind to not be able to distinguish them in battle based on clothing color. The Southern Empire clothing color need to start using the same colors as their shield.

I dont mind the balloons that much - although they do occlude vision to the point that sniping with a bow is impossible if anyone is in front of you - even if you're mounted.
But the battles are a little drab compared to the earlier games, and while I love the massive number of troops in a siege battle, I'll be damned if I know which of them are mine. Are my lieutenants on the field? Which of that mob of blue are mine? That mob of blue which is slightly different from the mob of purple? Old M&B, I knew exactly who was who, because my guys had their own colors and heraldry, and there wasnt any confusion over who was who. I've praised TaleWorlds for not reinventing the wheel, but this is an exception to that praise. It werent broke, dont go fixing it.

Alternately, you make it cultural. The Imperials all have the same, but slightly different, shade of purple, because they're fantasy Rome, with each empire saying "No! I'm the real emperor!". The Battainians, however, being more a mob of screaming fantasy Picts, has far more diversity in their color scheme, and may therefore occationally fight friends by accident. As Pratchett put it: "On the other hand the Nac Mac Feegle were always looking for a fight, in a cheerful sort of way, and when they had no one to fight they fought one another, and if one was all by himself he’d kick his own nose just to keep in practice."
I think they’re supposed to be Byzantine; Eastern Rome

Its a close fit to the Tetriarchy of the 3rd century CE, which was two empires, three emperors - a primary one and two sort of executive emperors. This doesnt last, though the idea of co-emperor does until Rome's "official" fall in the 400s. Its at that point that Rome most closely matches the overall political map of Caladria - lots of former barbarian states that are suddenly resurgent, eating away at the bloated empire bit by bit, until there are only fragments left.
That said, there is an argument for Byzantium after Constantinople was sacked - there were three successor empires, along with civil wars, and the expensive armors look more like they're based on this period rather than earlier - the sort of thing that would have been worn starting at the 5th century CE to about the 10th century. A lot of the stuff the sea raiders and Battanians wear, for instance, looks a lot like what the Varangians wore; who were for-hire praetorian guards everywhere from Constantiople to Kiev, but originiated in Scandinavia.
